Catastrophic Injuries

Whenever someone suffers a catastrophic injury because of a defective product or the negligence of others, an army of corporate and insurance company attorneys and investigators are mobilized to try and minimize or avoid the potential liability from that event. How do they accomplish that? Simply put, any way they can. We know. We started our careers as product liability defense lawyers. That experience gives us unique insight in serious injury cases.

Proven Results in Complex Catastrophic Injury Cases Nationwide

At Douthit Frets Rouse Gentile & Rhodes LLC, we concentrate our efforts and resources on helping grieving families, and people who have suffered serious injury, recover full and fair compensation for their losses. Specific types of catastrophic injury cases our lawyers handle include:

• Traumatic brain injury / brain damage
• Spinal cord injury
• Paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia
• Severe back injury
• Severe burns
• Facial scarring and disfigurement
• Amputation
• Vision loss / blindness

Many of these injuries require life-long medical care — care that can be extremely expensive. Because of this, corporations and insurance companies will often try to overwhelm the capabilities and resources of the plaintiff's lawyer by arguing every possible point and by generally making the process as difficult as possible. Unfortunately, we also know that their tactics work all too well, too much of the time.

How do we know all of this? Because our lead trial lawyers began their careers defending some of the largest product manufacturers in the world in product liability cases.

Today, we use that past experience to our clients' advantage whenever we go up against these powerful interests in settlement discussions and in courtrooms throughout the United States. We have won numerous seven- and eight-figure verdicts for previous clients and have more than enough resources to withstand even the most determined opponent.
