Catastrophic Injury Lawyer in Florida – Fighting for Maximum Compensation


Legal Help for Life-Changing Injuries in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Across Florida


Catastrophic injuries are life-altering, often leading to permanent disabilities, long-term medical needs, and significant financial burdens. These injuries impact not only the victim but also their families, who must adjust to new realities. If you or a loved one has suffered a severe injury due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. At Lieberman Injury Law, we fight aggressively to help catastrophic injury victims recover the financial support they need for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is any severe injury that results in long-term or permanent impairment. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifelong care. Common catastrophic injuries include:


  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Severe burns and disfigurement
  • Amputations and limb loss
  • Multiple fractures and crush injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Loss of vision or hearing


Due to the life-altering nature of these injuries, victims may require ongoing medical treatment, adaptive technology, and modifications to their home or vehicle.
