A Catastrophic Injury Changes Lives Forever
When an injury is so severe that it prevents the victim from ever returning to anything resembling an independent, functional state, it is labeled a "catastrophic" injury. Catastrophic injuries usually involve the brain, spinal cord, nervous system, amputation, multiple fractures or severe burns.

My name is Aubrey E. Denton, and I am an AV-Rated* lawyer with more than 30 years of experience handling personal injury law from my office in Lafayette, Louisiana. In my law office, I develop attorney-client relationships based on 100 percent trust and mutual respect. I truly take each client's best interest to heart, and I will work to prove it to you every day. To see what my former clients have said, please view my client testimonials page.
Adjusting to a Serious, Permanent Disability
If an injury causes paraplegia, quadriplegia, severe traumatic brain injury or other serious disability, then the injured individual and his or her family will likely have to make significant adjustments in their day-to-day lives. You may have to have parts of your home refitted in order to accommodate the new state. You may have to arrange for continuing medical care or supervision. Sometimes, one member of the family needs to quit a job to stay home and care for the injured individual full-time.
Your settlement for compensation will need to pay for all of these expenses. You are also entitled to receive compensation for lost future earnings and diminished quality of life issues.
A Lawyer Who Understands Medicine
I am well-versed in medical science and terminology. I understand the physics, histology, physiology and anatomy underlying my clients' injuries. In addition, my law office has a Registered Nurse on staff. This has two important benefits for my clients: 1) I can work to ensure that each client receives the best medical care available for their injuries, and 2) I can capably cross-examine medical experts in court.
