Catastrophic Injury
At Matzus Law, from our headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we recognize the profound impact catastrophic injuries have on individuals and their families. Catastrophic injuries, by their nature, are life-altering, leaving victims to face a future that may include long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and the need for significant adjustments to their daily lives and financial realities.
Under the seasoned leadership of Jason Matzus, our firm is dedicated to providing expert legal representation to those who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to the negligence of others. Our commitment is to secure the comprehensive compensation necessary to support your recovery and future well-being.
Catastrophic injuries can occur under a variety of circumstances, from motor vehicle accidents and workplace incidents to slips, falls, and more. The hallmark of a catastrophic injury is its severe impact on the victim’s life, including permanent disability, significant suffering, and the inability to gainful employment.
At Matzus Law, we focus on two of the most life-altering types of catastrophic injuries: brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.
Brain injuries, encompassing everything from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), represent some of the most complex and devastating injuries an individual can endure. These injuries can drastically alter a person’s life, impacting cognitive functions, physical abilities, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. The intricate nature of the brain means that each injury presents a unique set of challenges and uncertainties, particularly regarding the path to recovery and long-term prognosis.
The effects of a brain injury can vary widely, depending on the severity and location of the injury, including:
Difficulties with memory, attention, and problem-solving can significantly impact an individual’s ability to return to work or school and manage daily activities.
Motor function, coordination, and balance may be affected, requiring long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Personality changes, mood swings, depression, and anxiety are common, often necessitating psychological or psychiatric intervention.
Problems with speech, vision, hearing, or touch can further complicate the recovery process.
Brain injury cases are among the most challenging personal injury claims due to:
Demonstrating the full impact of a brain injury, especially more subtle cognitive and emotional effects, requires comprehensive medical evaluations and expert testimony.
Accurately assessing the long-term care needs, including medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support services, is crucial for securing adequate compensation.
Insurance companies may be reluctant to acknowledge the full extent of a brain injury and its lifelong implications, often leading to disputes over coverage and compensation.
These cases may involve complex legal issues and require a deep understanding of both the medical and legal aspects of brain injuries.
At Matzus Law we work closely with medical professionals, neuropsychologists, life care planners, and economic experts to build a comprehensive understanding of each client’s specific injuries and future needs.
We recognize the individual nature of each brain injury and tailor our legal strategies accordingly, focusing on the unique challenges and needs of each client. At Matzus Law, there is no cookie cutter approach to dealing with catastrophic injuries – we dive deeply into the unique nature of your case and tailor the right solutions.
Our goal at Matzus Law is to secure the maximum possible compensation for our clients, covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the costs of long-term care and rehabilitation.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are among the most severe and life-altering injuries, often resulting in partial or complete paralysis. The impact of these injuries extends far beyond the immediate physical damage, affecting every aspect of an individual’s life and independence. Victims face not only significant physical challenges but also profound emotional and financial burdens. Navigating the aftermath of a spinal cord injury requires comprehensive legal support to secure the compensation necessary for the victim’s long-term care and quality of life.
The consequences of spinal cord injuries can vary widely but often include:
Depending on the level and severity of the injury, individuals may experience partial or complete paralysis, requiring the use of mobility aids like wheelchairs.
SCI victims are at risk for numerous medical complications, including infections, blood clots, and respiratory issues, which can further complicate their recovery and care.
The drastic changes to an individual’s lifestyle and independence can lead to significant emotional distress, including depression and anxiety.
The costs associated with spinal cord injuries are staggering, encompassing emergency treatment, ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and home modifications, in addition to lost income and earning capacity.
Securing adequate compensation for spinal cord injury victims requires a focused legal approach, including:
Our team at Matzus Law will conduct detailed investigations to establish the cause of the injury and identify all potential sources of liability.
We collaborate with medical experts, rehabilitation specialists, and financial planners to assess the full extent of the victim’s needs, both immediate and long-term.
