What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

Most people think catastrophic injuries involve brain damage. Many do, but our lawyer, like many catastrophic injury attorneys, assists in more cases besides those involving brain injury. Our attorney assists the families of those who have suffered:

  • Amputation
  • Blindness
  • Paralysis: quadriplegia, paraplegia
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Anoxic brain injury
  • Closed head injury
  • Closed head trauma

John Merting has nearly 40 years of experience as a personal injury lawyer. He has helped countless families dealing with catastrophic injuries. Though he is an experienced trial lawyer, having practiced in courts throughout Florida, and many other states as well, he can also work out an out-of-court settlement, if doing so is in the client’s best interest.
