What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently impairs your ability to live or work independently. These injuries often involve severe damage to the brain, spine, or major organs and result in long-term disability, chronic pain, or the need for 24/7 care. Our Cherry Hill personal injury attorneys have helped clients recover after:

  • Amputations or loss of limb
  • Spinal cord injuries or quadriplegia
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Cerebral palsy caused by birth injury
  • Organ damage or failure
  • Severe burn injuries
  • Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death

These are not minor claims—they require deep investigation, legal strength, and a team prepared for the complexity.

Our Results Catastrophic Injuries

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in South Jersey

Motor Vehicle Accidents

High-speed crashes on I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike, or Route 70 often result in devastating outcomes. We’ve represented victims injured in car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents across Camden and Burlington counties.

Falls on Unsafe Premises

Falls caused by poor lighting, broken railings, or icy walkways can lead to catastrophic brain and spinal injuries—especially among older adults. Property owners must be held responsible when safety is neglected.

Medical Negligence

When a hospital, surgeon, or physician fails to provide proper care, the consequences can be permanent. We handle catastrophic injury cases involving misdiagnoses, surgical errors, birth trauma, and more—at facilities like Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, Virtua, and Cooper University Health Care.

Defective Products

Faulty car parts, dangerous household items, or malfunctioning medical devices can cause irreversible harm. We pursue product liability claims against negligent manufacturers and distributors.

Drowning and Near-Drowning Incidents

Young children are especially vulnerable to catastrophic injuries related to oxygen deprivation. We hold property owners and facility operators accountable for unsafe pools and aquatic environments.

Carol Shepherd and Patricia Giordano and their team advocated for my son when I felt the healthcare system did not. They went above and beyond, worked closely with me, and felt like family.

“Mr. Daria and his firm took my wife and my case not only seriously bit with the utmost compassion.”

Mr. Daria and his firm took my wife and my case not only seriously bit with the utmost compassion. The personal injury my wife suffered not only limited her physical mobility it also effected her psychological perspective. The multiple surgeries took their toll on every aspect of her life, as well as mine as her caregiver. At the outset being her full-time caregiver for over 3 months was a serious stressor for me. Working Mr. Daria during the immediately after my wife's accident and initial surgeries he was thoughtful, gave us excellent advice, guided us through the lawsuit process, and helped us keep a level head through the most difficult time in our lives. Anyone in need of a personal injury attorney and firm Mr. Daria and Feldman and Associates is the firm to choose.

Frequently Asked Questions Cherry Hill Catastrophic Injury

How is a catastrophic injury claim different from a standard personal injury case?

Catastrophic injury claims involve lifelong consequences, greater damages, and more complex medical and financial evidence. They demand a higher level of legal and expert resources.

Can I still file a claim if I can’t work or afford a lawyer?

Yes. We work on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront costs. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.

How much could my case be worth?

It depends on your medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, and how your injury has impacted your quality of life. We’ll assess all damages to pursue maximum recovery.
