What Are Catastrophic Injuries?
Catastrophic injuries damage a person’s body or mind long-term or permanently. They often profoundly affect an individual’s ability to live independently and perform daily tasks.
Unlike minor injuries that may heal relatively quickly, catastrophic injuries significantly impair affected individuals and may require them to receive ongoing medical care, rehabilitative therapy, and caregiver help.
Severe injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Burn injuries
- Lacerations
- Limb loss (i.e., losing an arm or leg)
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Internal organ damage
- Blindness or deafness
All the severe injuries above not only affect a person’s physical health but also their emotional, social, and financial well-being. They may experience chronic pain, emotional distress, depression, loss of independence, and financial hardship due to massive medical expenses and lost income.

We Will Manage Your Case While You Work on Your Recovery
Recovering from a significant injury is an often unpredictable process. The body needs time to heal, and medical professionals need time to develop a treatment plan that promotes the injured individual’s health and well-being.
While healing takes time, Florida law provides a short window for injured individuals to seek awards in negligence cases. We recognize the burdens this situation may place on you and your family, so our Marco Island catastrophic accident lawyer can manage your case so you can use all your energy toward improving.
Our comprehensive legal services include:
- Investigating the circumstances of your injury.
- Gathering case-supporting (e.g., medical records, expert witness statements, witness accounts, visual evidence, etc.).
- Identifying all parties responsible for monetary compensation.
- Assessing all your losses to establish your claim’s value.
- Engaging with insurance companies to negotiate a just settlement.
- Handling communications with all relevant parties, including insurers.
- Completing all necessary legal paperwork.
- Ensuring timely filing of your injury lawsuit, adhering to Florida’s statute of limitations.
- Fighting for your compensation in court, if necessary.
- Providing updates and addressing any concerns you may have regarding your case.
Our Marco Island catastrophic event lawyers will build your case with a legal strategy that addresses your case and shows why you should receive damages.

How Long Do I Have to Sue for a Catastrophic Injury in Florida?
If you are considering taking legal action against a negligent party, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. As outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11, injured parties generally get two years to sue for personal injury or wrongful death losses.
When you hire our Marco Island catastrophic trauma attorney, you will have someone protecting your right to seek damages. Our team will monitor your case’s deadline to tell you how long you have to take legal action.
It is easy to lose track of a filing deadline when you are busy with doctor’s appointments, medical treatments, and doing other things to recover. However, Florida is not as forgiving about parties missing a deadline. If you do not file your case on time, the courts will bar you from seeking compensation.

Catastrophic injuries require prompt medical treatment. They also require prompt legal action, too. If someone else acted negligently and severely harmed you in the process, you deserve compensatory damages that help you manage and adjust to living with a life-altering injury.
The negligent party should cover your expenses, and that is what we set out to achieve when we represent you. Viles & Beckman’s catastrophic injury lawyers in Marco Island are ready to work on your case. Call or contact us online today for a free consultation.
