What Is a Catastrophic Injury, and Do You Have a Case for Compensation?
Catastrophic injuries are life-altering injuries that have a high likelihood of causing lasting disabilities, limitations, scarring, or disfigurement. Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injury, including paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Amputation
- Severe burn injuries
- Multiple fractures
- Organ damage
Catastrophic injuries can occur in many types of accidents or incidents, from traffic collisions to recreational sports. In many of these cases, another person might be legally responsible for the accident and your injuries. Some examples when this is possible include:
- Car collisions
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian collisions
- Premises liability accidents
- Slip and fall injuries
- Dog bite incidents
- Construction accidents
If you believe your injuries occurred because of someone else’s negligence, reach out to our team. We can assess your case and explain how you could get compensation. We can often recover compensation for victims by filing an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.
If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed through an act of negligence, you need the highest level of legal representation.

Catastrophic injuries require extensive care and support, especially in the first months following the injury. Many require specialized care at a trauma center and inpatient rehabilitation. According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, there are four Level II trauma centers serving accident victims in Idaho:
- Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls
- Kootenai Health in Coeur d’Alene
- Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello
- Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise
Along with the current and future medical care, support, and therapies provided by these and other facilities, victims and their families face other expenses and losses during this stressful time. Our attorneys document these costs and pursue full compensation to reimburse families. Some examples of recoverable damages in these cases include:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical care
- Lost income
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Permanent disability and disfigurement
A wrongful death attorney from our team also represents clients whose loved ones died following a catastrophic injury accident. Surviving family members may recover damages under Idaho Statutes § 5-311. Call our team today to learn more.
How We Win Catastrophic Injury Cases in Idaho
Catastrophic injury cases are typically based on negligence. This means someone failed to act with reasonable care and caused our client to suffer serious harm. To win these cases, we must prove negligence occurred and that the party we accused is liable for the harm that occurred. Proving negligence requires us to demonstrate four things:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party had a responsibility to act safely and reasonably, such as a driver following traffic laws.
- Breach of duty: They failed to act safely and reasonably, often violating a law or safety regulation.
- Causation: Their action or inaction directly caused your injury.
- Harm: You suffered serious losses because of their behavior.
When you hire our team to hold the at-fault party accountable, we take several steps to ensure we build the most compelling case possible and demonstrate the full effects of your injuries on your daily life. This could include:
- Gathering strong evidence to support the claim, including medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert testimony
- Filing an insurance claim based on the at-fault party’s relevant insurance policy, such as their auto liability policy, homeowner’s policy, or corporate liability policy
- Filing a personal injury lawsuit if a fair settlement is not offered or litigation is preferred based on the circumstances
