Understanding What Catastrophic Injury Means in Georgia
Catastrophic injuries are not just serious—they’re life-changing. These are injuries that cause permanent disability, require ongoing medical care, or drastically alter a person’s ability to work or live independently. Common examples include:
Amputations or loss of limb
Organ damage
Loss of vision or hearing
How These Injuries Happen
We’ve represented clients across Metro Atlanta—from Buckhead to South Fulton—who were injured in:
- Major truck accidents on I-285 or I-20
- High-speed car crashes on the Downtown Connector
- Motorcycle collisions in Cobb County
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents in DeKalb neighborhoods
- Shootings or assaults resulting in permanent disability
While every case is different, many catastrophic injuries stem from severe car accidents or truck wrecks. We work quickly to gather evidence, preserve your rights, and hold negligent drivers, employers, or property owners accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Catastrophic Injuries in Georgia
How do I know if my injury is legally considered “catastrophic”?
If your injury results in permanent disability, long-term treatment, or prevents you from working or living independently, it likely qualifies. We can review your case and help you understand your legal options.
What if my loved one will need care for the rest of their life?
Lifelong care is one of the most important factors in valuing a claim. We work with medical and financial experts to estimate these costs and build a case that reflects future needs.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
In most personal injury cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. There are exceptions, so don’t wait—contact us as soon as possible.
Can I sue later?
Catastrophic injury cases are high-value and high-stakes. Insurance companies know this. They’ll bring in their own lawyers, doctors, and adjusters to limit your compensation. You need someone who’s ready to fight for you—and who’s done it before.
