Understanding Personal and Catastrophic Injury Law in Texas
Serious injuries deserve serious legal help. We’re here to fight for you.
What is Personal and Catastrophic Injury?
A personal or catastrophic injury is a very serious injury that changes your life forever. It can stop you from working, moving, thinking clearly, or doing everyday things. These injuries often need long-term medical care, therapy, or even full-time help.
Some examples include:
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Brain Injuries
- Severe Burns
- Loss of a Limb
- Paralysis
If someone else caused the injury — like in a car crash or a workplace accident — you may have the right to get money to help pay for your medical bills, lost work, and the pain you’re going through.

Common Questions About Personal & Catastrophic Injury Cases
What are some examples of personal and catastrophic injuries?
Spinal cord injuries, brain damage, severe burns, and amputation are all considered catastrophic.
How do I know if I have a case?
If your injury was caused by someone else’s actions — like a careless driver or unsafe workplace — you may have a case. We’ll review it for free.
What can Gulf Coast Law do for me?
We’ll investigate what happened, build your case, talk to insurance companies, and fight to get the money you need to recover.
How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury. But don’t wait — call us as soon as you can.
Can I afford a lawyer if I’ve been seriously injured?
Yes. At Gulf Coast Law, we don’t charge you anything upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. That means no fees unless you get compensation.
What kind of compensation can I receive?
You may be able to get money for medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, home modifications, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Every case is different, and we’ll help calculate what you’re truly owed.
What if the insurance company already offered me money?
Be careful. Insurance companies often offer less than you deserve, hoping you’ll settle quickly. Talk to us before signing anything — we’ll review the offer for free and make sure it’s fair.
