A Catastrophic Injury Turns Your Life Upside Down
The physical damage is only part of it. A severe injury can eliminate your income, exhaust your savings, and leave your family without the support they depend on. Insurance companies know this — and they use it against you, offering fast, inadequate settlements before you understand the full scope of your losses.
A catastrophic injury claim lawyer at Almaraz Law Firm levels that playing field. We have handled some of the most serious and complex injury cases in Texas, and no other personal injury firm in the Rio Grande Valley has managed catastrophic cases at this scale — regardless of office size or resources.
What Our Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Handle
Catastrophic and permanent injuries span a wide range of causes and conditions. Our serious injury attorneys represent clients who have suffered:
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Loss of limb or amputation
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Permanent disability
These injuries commonly result from truck and auto accidents, oilfield and industrial accidents, construction site incidents, medical malpractice, and defective products. We pursue compensation for past and future medical costs, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and your family's loss of care, comfort, and companionship.

Catastrophic Injury FAQ
What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?
A catastrophic injury results in permanent or long-term disability, significant loss of function, or conditions requiring ongoing medical care — including spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, amputation, or severe burns.
How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Delaying can jeopardize your evidence and your right to recover.
What does a catastrophic injury lawyer cost?
Almaraz Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney's fees unless we win your case.
What if I was partially at fault for my injury?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still recover damages as long as your share of responsibility is less than 51 percent.
What should I do first after a catastrophic injury?
Seek emergency medical attention immediately. Document the scene if you are able, avoid giving recorded statements to insurers, and contact a life-changing injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Can a catastrophic injury lawyer help with wrongful death?
Yes. When a catastrophic injury results in death, Almaraz Law Firm represents surviving families in wrongful death claims throughout Texas.
