Filing a Catastrophic Injury Claim in Minnesota
Although any injury can be life-changing, some are serious enough to be classified as “catastrophic.” Generally speaking, a catastrophic injury is one that is permanent, significant, and results in considerable economic and non-economic damages. These injuries are more severe than other types of injuries, often leading to higher medical bills, greater lost income or wages, and more significant effects on the lives of victims and their loved ones.
Seeking compensation for a catastrophic injury takes an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, one who has successfully handled these types of personal injury cases before. At Bolt Law Firm, our Anoka catastrophic injury lawyers have successfully fought on behalf of severely injured victims and their families, recovering millions of dollars on their behalf.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is a very severe injury that typically results in permanent injury, impairment, or disability. Catastrophic injury victims typically experience a lifetime of pain, complications, and limitations as a result of their injuries.
Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Back injuries
- Broken bones/fractures
- Burns
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Internal injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Whiplash/neck injuries
- Amputation/loss of limb
- Eye injuries and vision loss
- Hearing damage and loss
- Chronic illness
- Medical conditions expected to result in death
If you or someone you love has sustained a severe, life-changing injury, you do not have to face the immense physical, mental, and financial challenges resulting from the injury on your own. By filing a catastrophic injury lawsuit against the liable party, you can seek financial compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
When someone else is to blame for an injury-causing event, they can be held legally responsible for the victim’s resulting damages.

Why Hire a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer?

Insurance companies and other liable parties know that catastrophic injury claims tend to be high in value, meaning they are much more likely to dispute or deny these claims.

- Conduct a full and immediate investigation into the event that caused your injury, including how it happened and who is liable

- Work with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and other industry experts to evaluate the cause, nature, severity, and effects of your injury
