Management of a catastrophic injury is complex and requires the expertise of a team of health professionals, including physicians, consultants, nurses, therapists and counselors. The long-term needs of someone who has experienced this type of injury far surpass those of individuals with less severe injuries.
At the Lowther Johnson firm, we have successfully represented clients who are seriously and permanently injured as a result of the negligence or intentional acts of another person.
If you believe you have suffered a catastrophic injury, please call Gregg Groves or Randy Reichard at 417-866-7777 or toll free 1-800-879-2370, or fill out the information on the contact us page.
The initial consultation for a catastrophic injury is free of charge and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds, although the client may be responsible for costs and expenses.. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before a certain time, known as the statute of limitations, so please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
