A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that results in long-term or permanent disability, significantly impacting a truck driver’s ability to work and live independently. Examples include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, and multiple fractures. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifelong care.
Catastrophic injury claims typically involve higher medical costs, long-term or permanent disability, and greater compensation needs compared to standard injury claims. These cases soften require expert testimony, extensive medical documentation, and a legal strategy to ensure maximum compensation for future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and quality of life impacts.
Truck drivers who suffer catastrophic injuries may be entitled to compensation for: medical expenses (including surgeries, rehabilitation, and lifelong care), lost income and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent disability or disfigurement, home modifications and assistive devices (wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc.), emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.
Liability depends on the circumstances of your accident. Responsible parties may include: another driver (in cases of negligence or reckless driving), your employer (if unsafe working conditions contributed to the injury), truck manufacturers (if a defective part caused the crash), maintenance providers (if improper repairs or maintenance led to equipment failure), cargo loaders (if improperly loaded cargo contributed to the accident). Our team at Long Haul Law will investigate your case thoroughly to determine all liable parties and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Filing an injury claim should not impact your employment. If you are covered by workers’ compensation, your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for seeking benefits. If your injury was caused by a third party (such as another driver or a defective truck part), pursuing a claim against them will not involve your employer. Our attorneys can help you understand your rights and ensure your job is protected.
