Massachusetts
catastrophic injury lawyer for life-changing accidents
Advocacy for TBI, paralysis, burns, and amputations
Severe injuries reshape every part of life. Castel & Hall LLP builds comprehensive claims for clients facing traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns after crashes, falls, or workplace incidents from Framingham to Boston. These cases demand specialized proof under
personal injury law—from future medical costs to home modifications and in-home care—so families aren’t left with impossible bills.
Permanent, disabling, and long-term conditions
Catastrophic injuries often involve permanent impairment, lengthy rehabilitation, or assistive devices. We coordinate with specialists at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Mass General, and UMass Memorial to document prognoses and functional limitations. When negligence results in a fatal outcome, families may pursue
wrongful death claims in addition to survival actions.
Proving lifetime needs and securing full compensation
Insurers fight hard where damages are high. Castel & Hall assembles a team of medical experts, life-care planners, and economists to quantify future surgeries, therapies, equipment, and lost earning capacity. When injuries stem from industrial equipment or defective components, we explore product liability angles to reach all responsible parties and available coverage
Severe Injury Lawyers – FAQ
What qualifies as a “catastrophic” injury legally?
Long-term or permanent harm such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage/paralysis, amputations, severe burns, or profound loss of function impacting work and daily life.
How is lifetime care valued?
With a life-care plan created by medical and rehabilitation experts that projects surgeries, therapies, attendant care, equipment, home/vehicle modifications, and replacement schedules.
Can structured settlements help?
Often—periodic payments can fund lifelong needs and protect eligibility for public benefits. Coordination with special-needs trusts may be appropriate.
Will multiple defendants increase recovery?
Potentially. Catastrophic cases often involve layered liability (driver + employer + product maker + property owner). Identifying all sources is crucial.
How do you prove future wage loss?
Economists analyze pre-injury earnings, career trajectory, and residual capacity; vocational experts assess retraining limits.
When should families call a lawyer?
Immediately after stabilization—before evidence is lost. Early investigation sets the foundation for long-term recovery.
