At Matthews & Associates, we concentrate on the proof of claims and recovery of damages on behalf of accident victims whose injuries are catastrophic in nature--that is, permanent, disabling, or life-changing. Too many catastrophic injury claims are prematurely settled when the victim accepts a large but inadequate settlement offer that later proves insufficient to cover the full range of his or her needs. Our lawyers know how to evaluate your situation and document your damages accurately so that you will be protected against the risk of an insufficient settlement on a catastrophic injury claim.

Contact an experienced personal injury attorney at Matthews & Associates for dependable advice and representation in cases involving severe and disabling injuries such as the following:

• Mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury
• Closed head injury resulting in cognitive loss, personality change, or mood disorder
• Spinal cord injury, paraplegia, or quadriplegia
• Severe burn injuries suffered in a fire, explosion, or chemical exposure
• Amputation of an arm, leg, hand, or foot
• Blindness or deafness
• Loss of any major organ or bodily function
• Extensive scarring and disfigurement

Permanent and catastrophic injuries can result from motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, defective pharmaceutical products, or even medical negligence during childbirth. Our lawyers have extensive experience with the proof of severe injury claims resulting from a wide variety of causes.

Not only do we work closely with your medical treatment team to monitor your current condition and prognosis, we also work with outstanding consulting and forensic physicians, economists, rehabilitation experts, and life care plan professionals so that all of your losses and future requirements are properly documented and clearly presented. We leave nothing to chance in working toward the greatest amount of compensation possible for your injuries.
