Catastrophic Injury Representation
Some injuries are so severe they alter a person’s life forever. These are classified as catastrophic injuries, and they demand a law firm with deep experience, strong resources, and relentless advocacy.
What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
In Missouri, catastrophic injuries include:
- Paralysis
- Amputation of two or more limbs
- Loss or failure of a major organ
- Severe brain damage or cognitive impairment
- Permanent loss of vision
- Significant, lasting disfigurement
These injuries often lead to lifelong medical treatment, rehabilitation, or total loss of earning capacity. Families face staggering costs — financially, emotionally, and personally.
Examples of Catastrophic Injuries We Handle
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Birth Injuries
- Severe Burns
- Amputations
- Organ Damage
- Crushing and Orthopedic Injuries
How We Prove Fault
Success requires investigation, evidence, and expert testimony. Our attorneys:
- Collect and analyze medical records
- Work with neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and life-care planners
- Reconstruct accident scenes with experts
- Build cases that anticipate every insurance company defense tactic
Whether the negligence was a reckless driver, careless doctor, or dangerous manufacturer, we have the track record to prove liability and win results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have a case?
Every situation is different. If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence — whether in a car accident, on unsafe property, or from medical errors — you may have a case. The best way to know is a free consultation. Speak with an attorney from Wolff Trial Lawyers for free today.
What should I do right after an accident or injury?
Get medical care immediately, even if you feel fine. Then, document everything — photos, records, and witness names — and talk to a lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is five years, but medical malpractice cases may have a shorter deadline. It’s important to act quickly so you don’t lose your right to file.
Do I need a lawyer, or can I handle it myself?
Insurance companies often try to settle for less than you deserve. Having an experienced attorney on your side levels the playing field and usually leads to a stronger outcome.
How much is my case worth?
Case value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, long-term impact, how the injury affects your life, and your quality of legal representation. While no lawyer can guarantee an amount, we fight relentlessly to get you the maximum compensation possible.
