Montgomery Catastrophic Injury Attorney
An injury attorney is a licensed professional who represents you in a claim for financial compensation. With Hunter & Everage as your Montgomery catastrophic injury attorney, we do so much more, taking care of everything needed for your case and working to maximize your compensation.
What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is life-changing. Because of the nature of the injury, it has a long-lasting impact on the person’s life. Injury may be permanent, affecting one or more bodily functions or systems.
Types of Cases We Handle
Catastrophic injuries take many forms:
Spinal cord injury, paralysis
Damage to the spinal cord or spinal column may result from blunt trauma and may cause paralysis, limit mobility, and impair nerve function. Treatments, therapies, and assistive devices may help.
Traumatic brain injury
Disruption of brain activity may impair function, impacting mood, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. Determining the full extent of the injury is critical to your legal claim.
Amputations
Accidental injury may result in severing of a limb or the need for an amputation. Loss of a limb may impair walking and daily tasks and may make it difficult or impossible to continue to work.
Organ damage
Internal organ damage can be life-threatening. Significant medical intervention may be required.
Mobility issues
An injury may be serious because it impairs the mobility of the victim. When an injury prevents or restricts walking, climbing stairs, grasping objects, driving, or other routine tasks, the harm may be considered catastrophic.
Disfigurement
Disfigurement is a significant change in appearance. It may be facial features or stature.
Severe burns
Severe burns can cause complications, such as risk of infection, pain, muscle wasting, sleep disturbances, and hypothermia.
Loss of eyesight, hearing, other senses
Optic neuropathy can result in vision loss or impairment, limiting a person’s ability to enjoy activities.
Disease
The disease itself can cause a catastrophic injury. If you suffer from a disease because of toxic exposure, it can have a life-changing impact.
Whatever your situation, we are dedicated to pursuing justice. Call 704-377-9157 or message us online to talk about your case.
Why is a catastrophic injury different from personal injury compensation?
A catastrophic injury needs special attention when it comes to personal injury compensation, and the amount claimed is often significant. The injured person needs to receive the compensation they deserve since these funds can help meet expenses and arrange for medical and personal care in the years to come.
Getting fair compensation takes detailed dedication. Our lawyers:
- Calculate the appropriate monetary payment
- Prove your right to compensation
- Respond to defenses raised
- Seek future damages
When injuries are serious, the defense and their insurance company may try particularly hard to fight the case, as the insurance companies profit when they don’t pay. Count on us to take care of the details and aggressively represent your interests.
Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury
- Car accidents
- Truck and industrial equipment accidents
- Motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents
- Amusement park, sport, and recreation incidents

- Collapsing structures, items falling from above

A catastrophic injury can happen in a matter of seconds, changing a person’s life and an entire family forever. As your Montgomery, AL, serious injury lawyers, we’ll thoroughly investigate and build the case.

Catastrophic Injury Law in Montgomery, AL
Alabama law protects the rights of injury victims. That means you have the right to claim the compensation you deserve based on your damages. There is no limit—compensation is based on your losses. Even when injuries are particularly severe, Alabama does not cap economic or non-economic damages for personal injury. There may be limits to punitive damages, and our lawyers can explain if this may apply to your case.
You must prove your right to compensation, meaning you must prove the following:
- The duty of the other party to act with reasonable care
- Breach of duty, based on reasonable person standards
- How the other person’s actions or failure to act causes your injuries
- Damages and the right amount of compensation
As the victim, you must prove each aspect of your case, building evidence, including witness testimony, medical records, laws, and regulations that may apply; business records; and other information that may be critical. As your lawyers, we prepare this evidence and present your case.
