Catastrophic injuries change everything. A single moment can bring lasting physical challenges, overwhelming medical needs, financial pressure, and major adjustments to daily life. When an injury is severe enough to affect your long-term health or independence, the legal process must reflect the seriousness of what you are facing.

With offices in Lafayette, Alexandria, Marksville, New Iberia, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, we support individuals and families across the entire state.

What Makes an Injury Catastrophic

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently affects your ability to live, work, or function as you once did. These injuries often require surgery, long-term medical care, and extensive rehabilitation. They may also affect your capacity to earn an income or live independently.

Catastrophic injuries often involve higher financial stakes. Insurance companies may try to protect their bottom line by minimizing or disputing the severity of the harm. Our team helps you navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

Severe injuries take many forms. Some affect mobility. Others impact cognition, speech, or behavior. Many require long-term treatment or completely reshape a person’s day-to-day life.

Catastrophic injuries may include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Severe burns
  • Amputations
  • Loss of vision or hearing
  • Major organ damage
  • Crush injuries
  • Permanent nerve damage
  • Complex orthopedic injuries
  • Injuries leading to paralysis

We work to understand the full medical picture so that your claim reflects not only your current challenges but also your future needs.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

Life-changing injuries can occur in various settings. Some results from extreme force in a crash. Others occur on the job, at sea, or through exposure to hazardous conditions. Frequent causes include:

  • Commercial truck collisions
  • High-speed car accidents
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Maritime or offshore accidents
  • Industrial incidents
  • Defective products
  • Explosions and fires
  • Falls from height
  • Construction site hazards
  • Medical errors

No matter the cause, it is important to identify the responsible party and show how their actions contributed to your injury.

The Long-Term Impact of a Catastrophic Injury

The effects of a catastrophic injury reach far beyond the initial trauma. Many individuals experience changes to mobility, communication, memory, or independence. Families often take on caregiving responsibilities, manage new expenses, or adjust their homes to accommodate their loved one’s needs.

These injuries may require:

  • Surgical procedures
  • Extended hospital stays
  • Physical therapy
  • Psychological counseling
  • Home health support
  • Assistive devices
  • Ongoing medication
  • Vehicle or home modifications

An effective claim must address both immediate needs and long-term challenges.

Compensation Available for Catastrophic Injury Victims

Compensation in a catastrophic injury case must consider both the short-term and long-term consequences of the injury. Your future health, your ability to work, and your overall quality of life are key factors in determining the value of your claim. You may be able to recover compensation for:

  • Current and future medical treatment
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Long-term care needs
  • Lost income
  • Reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of independence
  • Household or mobility modifications
  • Emotional distress
  • Supportive care for daily activities

We work closely with medical professionals, life care planners, and financial experts to build an accurate picture of your needs.

Meet Our Team

What You Should Do After a Catastrophic Injury

The steps taken in the days and weeks following a severe injury can significantly influence your claim. While your health should be your top priority, documenting important details can help protect your rights later.

If possible, we advise:

  • Getting immediate medical attention
  • Following up with recommended specialists
  • Keeping copies of medical records
  • Saving receipts for related expenses
  • Recording changes in your abilities or symptoms
  • Gathering contact information for witnesses
  • Photographing injuries or accident conditions
  • Speaking to Laborde Earles before signing documents or giving statements

These actions help ensure your case is built on solid, reliable information.

Louisiana Catastrophic Injury Clear Answers to Important Questions

What makes an injury catastrophic under Louisiana law?

It is generally considered catastrophic when it results in permanent disability, loss of function, or long-term medical needs.

Can a family member file a catastrophic injury claim on someone else’s behalf?

Yes. In many cases, a spouse, parent, or legal guardian may take action on behalf of the victim if they are unable to do so themselves.

Are catastrophic injury settlements higher than other personal injury cases?

They often are because the long-term impact is much greater. Each case depends on its specific details.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Louisiana, most personal injury claims must be filed within one year of the incident. Acting early helps protect your rights.

What if my injury happened at work?

You may have both a workers' compensation claim and a third-party claim, depending on the circumstances. We can help evaluate both.

Do you have more questions?

Our team is here to answer every question about your case—clearly and honestly.

Speak With a Louisiana Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

You should not face the financial and emotional challenges of a catastrophic injury alone.
