Catastrophic Injury

Suffered a catastrophic injury in Oklahoma? Calvert Law Firm’s experienced attorneys fight for maximum compensation and justice for victims of life-changing injuries.

Relentless Advocacy for Life-Changing Injuries

A catastrophic injury changes everything. In one moment, your life, your family, and your future are transformed by a severe accident—leaving you with immense physical, emotional, and financial challenges. At Calvert Law Firm, we understand that these cases demand more than legal skill: they require compassion, expertise, and a commitment to your long-term recovery and well-being. Our Oklahoma catastrophic injury lawyers fight for justice, accountability, and every dollar of compensation you deserve.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are those that permanently prevent someone from living the life they had before—often involving long-term or lifelong disability, loss of independence, and the need for ongoing medical care. These injuries can include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and severe concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries, paralysis (paraplegia/quadriplegia)
  • Amputations and loss of limb
  • Severe burns and disfigurement
  • Multiple fractures and crush injuries
  • Loss of vision or hearing
  • Severe orthopedic injuries
  • Internal organ damage

Victims may face months or years of hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and therapy. They may never return to work or daily activities they once enjoyed.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

At Calvert Law Firm, we handle catastrophic injury cases resulting from:

  • Motor vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians)
  • Large truck and commercial vehicle crashes
  • Oilfield, industrial, and workplace accidents
  • Construction site incidents
  • Defective products and machinery
  • Fires, explosions, and electrocution
  • Slip and fall accidents on dangerous premises
  • Acts of violence or negligent security
  • Medical malpractice

No matter the cause, our team investigates thoroughly and identifies every liable party—ensuring you can recover from all available sources.

The Real Impact of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries affect every part of your life and your family’s future. Victims often require:

  • Multiple surgeries and complex medical treatment
  • Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and occupational therapy
  • In-home nursing care or personal assistance
  • Wheelchairs, prosthetics, and adaptive equipment
  • Modifications to homes or vehicles
  • Lifelong prescription medications and pain management
  • Psychological support and counseling

The costs are staggering. Medical bills alone can reach hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars over a lifetime. Add lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and the need for ongoing care, and the financial burden is immense. Our job is to make sure you have the resources to move forward.

How Calvert Law Firm Fights for Catastrophic Injury Victims

  • Trial-Ready from Day One: We treat every catastrophic injury case as if it will go to court. Our reputation as trial lawyers gives us leverage to negotiate top settlements and win at trial when needed.
  • Full Life-Care Assessment: We work with doctors, rehabilitation specialists, life care planners, and economists to calculate the real lifetime cost of your injury—so no expense is overlooked.
  • Aggressive Negotiation: Insurance companies often try to minimize claims or blame the victim. We push back with facts, evidence, and the threat of trial.
  • Personal Support: We help clients and families navigate every aspect of recovery, from accessing medical care to coordinating home modifications and finding community resources.
  • No Fee Unless We Win: You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Compensation for Catastrophic Injury Victims

You may be entitled to recover for:

  • All current and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Nursing care, home health, and personal assistance
  • Lost wages and future lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional trauma
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life and activities
  • Costs of home and vehicle modifications
  • Loss of consortium (impact on spouse/family)
  • Punitive damages (for gross negligence or misconduct)

Our mission is to recover every dollar you need for a lifetime of care and dignity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury claim in Oklahoma?Generally, two years from the date of injury—but early action is critical for evidence and your recovery.

What if the accident was partly my fault?Oklahoma uses comparative fault. As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault).

Can family members recover damages too?Yes—spouses and, in some cases, children may be eligible for compensation for loss of companionship and support.

Do I have to pay for a lawyer up front?No. We work on a contingency fee basis—no fee unless we win your case.
