What Are Catastrophic Injuries?
Catastrophic injuries are severe wounds that often result in long-term or permanent disabilities that profoundly change a person’s life. They affect a person’s ability to perform daily tasks, work, or enjoy life as they did before the injury. These changes also require them to receive significant support and assistance from others.
Catastrophic injuries also require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitative therapy, and ongoing care. Because of their severity, patients and their families can experience emotional and financial hardships.
Examples of catastrophic injuries are:
- Amputation/limb loss
- Burn injuries
- Lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
- Fractures
- Total or partial paralysis
- Internal organ damage
- Permanent hearing or vision loss
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
A Southwest Florida catastrophic harm lawyer from our firm will review your accident and injuries suffered and advise you on how the financial awards that you could request from the liable party.

Our Southwest Florida Catastrophic Trauma Lawyers Will Demand Your Damages
Viles & Beckman will fight for your full recovery, even if it means we must go to trial for it. In our 40-plus years of serving Florida, we have recovered more than $100 million in verdicts and settlements for our clients.
No matter the cause of your catastrophic injury, we will work to recover monetary damages for you. As our case results show, we have recovered awards in various kinds of accidents that cause severe injuries, including slip and fall accidents, auto accidents, defective product accidents, and more.
Leave Your Entire Injury Case to Us While You Recover
Healing from a serious injury is a tough and sometimes uncertain journey. The body needs time to recover, and doctors must have time to determine how to treat the injury before the patient can make progress.
While your recovery will take time, Florida law allows injured parties a limited time to sue for injuries and losses. We understand how overwhelming all of this can be, so we handle the entire case, allowing clients to focus solely on getting better.
Meanwhile, we take care of everything related to their case, including:
- Finding out how your injury happened.
- Collecting evidence to support their claim (e.g., medical records, doctor’s notes, expert witness testimony, witness statements, bills, photos, and video footage).
- Identifying all liable parties that owe compensation.
- Reviewing all your damages to determine how much your case is worth.
- Negotiating with insurance companies for a fair settlement.
- Communicating with all involved parties, including insurance adjusters.
- Doing all the necessary paperwork for the case.
- Making sure we file the lawsuit on time and within Florida’s statute of limitations.
- Fighting for your rights in court if needed.
- Keeping you informed and answering any questions you have about your case.
Your case is unique and involves a specific set of circumstances. Our Southwest Florida catastrophic loss attorney will develop a legal strategy that addresses your situation and shows why you should recover damages from the negligent party.
We Can Represent You and Build Your Case at No Upfront Cost
At Viles & Beckman, we know accident victims already have expenses from the accident when they come to us. Still, we don’t want concern about affording legal services to stop anyone from getting help. This is why our lawyers work on contingency and do not require clients to pay in advance.
Instead, we do not get paid unless they recover compensation. If we do not win your case, you do not have to pay us. We can explain how this payment arrangement works during a free consultation. Call us today to get started.
