The consequences of a catastrophic injury often prevent the injured person from returning to gainful employment and the kind of life they lived before the injury.
Catastrophic injury cases are a unique subset of personal injury law. They require the help of a skilled St. Louis personal injury attorney to effectively prepare and describe to the court the full extent to which the injury has negatively affected the victim’s life and the lives of their loved ones.
