What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?
Not all injuries are created equal. While broken bones or sprains may heal in time, catastrophic injuries are life-altering. These are injuries so severe that they result in long-term, often permanent, physical or cognitive impairment. They impact not just the victim, but also the people who love and care for them.
Legally, catastrophic injuries often involve:
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Significant loss of mobility or function
- Extended hospitalization or rehabilitation
- Inability to return to work or live independently
A catastrophic injury case is not just about what happened; it’s about how the injury will affect your life moving forward. Lost income, ongoing medical costs, home modifications, caregiving needs, and emotional trauma are all factors that deserve to be considered in any legal claim.
The attorneys at Amaro Law Firm are well-versed in handling these complex cases. We work closely with medical experts, life-care planners, and economic professionals to fully evaluate the scope of your damages and build a case that reflects the true impact of your injury.
Catastrophic injury examples
Catastrophic injuries can occur almost anywhere, and every person and every injury is different. Some catastrophic injuries may be immediately visible, while others (such as brain damage) are more subtle but equally serious. The following are some of the more common types of catastrophic injuries we encounter in our work, but it’s important to understand that this is not an exhaustive list.
If you or your loved one has experienced any severe or life-changing injury — even one not listed here — the Houston catastrophic injury attorneys at Amaro Law Firm are here to help you explore your legal options with dignity and care.
Amputation injuries
Losing a limb is one of the most physically and emotionally traumatic events a person can endure. Amputations can result from car crashes, workplace accidents, or defective products, and often require lifelong prosthetics, physical therapy, and psychological support.

Brain injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can severely impair a person’s ability to speak, move, remember, or control behavior. Even so-called “mild” TBIs can cause lasting problems. For many families, a brain injury means adjusting to a new version of a loved one.

Burn injuries
Severe burns can cause nerve damage, mobility issues, and extreme pain — not to mention the emotional toll of permanent scarring and disfigurement. Victims often require multiple surgeries and long-term care.

Electrocutions
Electrical injuries can cause both visible burns and internal organ damage. Survivors of serious electrocutions may suffer neurological deficits, cardiac issues, and severe psychological trauma.
Our Houston electrocution injury attorneys will help you pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.
Spinal cord injuries
Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or full paralysis, loss of sensation, and chronic pain. Spinal cord injury cases require a legal team that understands the long-term financial and emotional impact of living with such a profound disability.

Richard Orozco
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was severely injured in an automobile accident, which entitled me to some insurance claims. Initially, I wasn’t sure how or if I even wanted to proceed, but I’m so glad I did. Not only did my case manager help achieve the max policy limits — she helped navigate lien reductions from the insurance company and various care providers that dramatically increased my settlement.
Cecilia Bazan
