Oftentimes, survivors of these injuries experience a lifetime of health complications, pain, and are ultimately unable to return to the life they had before sustaining the injury. If you are suffering from a catastrophic injury that was caused by another party’s negligence, contact the team at Kempton & Russell in Sedalia for the experienced legal guidance and representation you deserve during this trying time. With over six decades of collective experience on our side, you can trust in our ability to ensure the responsible party is held liable.

Understanding Catastrophic Injuries and Their Impact
Generally, catastrophic injuries frequently result in permanent damage, preventing survivors from maintaining gainful employment or engaging in activities or hobbies they enjoyed before sustaining the injuries. Additionally, catastrophic injuries tend to result in a severe impact to one of the body’s major systems.
Below are some examples of the most common types of catastrophic injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Spinal cord injuries
- Organ damage
- Crushed bones
- Traumatic amputation injuries
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
These injuries tend to require either long-term or lifelong medical care, which is typically why survivors often recover more substantial damages in such cases.
