What is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is a serious injury that results in the victim having permanent damage. Some injuries that are often considered to be catastrophic include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Burn injuries
- Severe fractures
- Internal organ injuries
- Electrocution
Individuals who sustain these types of life-changing injuries often have limited mobility or cognitive limitations, which may last for months or even years. These injuries can result in extensive medical and rehabilitation expenses and substantial loss of earnings, including financial losses related to the injured person’s future ability to earn money. In many cases, the injured person is not the only one incurring a financial loss. Caring for an injured loved one often requires working spouses, partners, or other family members to miss substantial time from their own jobs as they devote significant time to caring for the injured person.
Our Colorado catastrophic injury lawyers and specially assembled Victim’s Advocates Group are here to help you through this painful process.
When the unimaginable happens, it can often be overwhelming and confusing to know what the next steps are. Our specialized team will ensure all of your rights under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) are met, along with being devoted to finding out what really happened. Our Victim’s Advocates Group comprises those who worked for a police department and judicial system, so they deeply understand the civil and criminal justice system and can empathize with the traumatic event that has unfortunately happened to you and your family. They will also ensure evidence is preserved and procure all public records so our catastrophic injury attorneys can fight for your and your loved one’s rights.

“Thank you for not giving up on me”
…there was a point when I wanted to give up… Bachus & Schanker did not give up on me. They just kept pushing through and letting me know that we’re on a team and that they’re there for me, to support me and help me in any way I need.
Thank you for giving me a second chance, for helping me with a second chance and thank you for not giving up on me.
When you go through an accident, so many people you find give up on you and you don’t matter anymore to them and that wasn’t the case with Bachus & Schanker.
