Catastrophic Injury Attorney
Legal Help For Life-Changing Injuries
Catastrophic injuries change everything in a moment. A brain or spinal cord injury, an amputation, or a devastating medical event can leave you or someone you love facing surgeries, rehabilitation, and questions about how to move forward. In that situation, trying to sort out legal options can feel impossible.
At Parker Lipman, we focus on helping people who are living with life-changing injuries across Colorado. Many of the people who contact us are family members searching for guidance while their loved one is in the hospital or a rehabilitation facility. We understand how heavy that responsibility feels, and we work to shoulder part of that load.
A catastrophic injury can affect every part of your future, but you do not have to face the legal process alone. Contact Parker Lipman today to speak with a catastrophic injury attorney about your options.
Our attorneys bring more than 100 years of combined experience to serious injury and wrongful death cases, and we deliberately limit how many matters we accept at one time. That approach allows us to give catastrophic injury clients direct access to the attorneys handling their case, along with the time and attention these cases demand.
Why Families Choose Our Firm
What Catastrophic Injuries Involve
A catastrophic injury is more than a serious medical diagnosis. It is an injury that permanently changes how a person lives, works, and manages daily life, often requiring long-term care, support, or rehabilitation.
Common catastrophic injuries may involve:
- Traumatic brain injuries that affect memory, mood, communication, or decision-making
- Spinal cord injuries that limit movement, sensation, or bodily function
- Severe burns that require surgeries, skin grafts, or long-term treatment
- Amputations that affect mobility, independence, and daily activities
- Significant orthopedic injuries that require multiple surgeries or rehabilitation
- Medical negligence injuries such as strokes, birth injuries, or organ damage
- Long-term disability, loss of independence, or the need for in-home care
These injuries often affect the entire family, not just the person who was hurt. When we build a case, we look at both the medical evidence and the day-to-day impact, including future care needs, lost income, home modifications, and the support required to move forward.

Parker Lipman is based in Denver and understands how serious injury cases move through Colorado courts. We also represent people injured in Arizona and New Mexico, but our roots are here in Colorado.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call a catastrophic injury attorney?
It is often helpful to contact a lawyer as soon as you can after emergency care is in place. Early guidance can protect important evidence and help you avoid mistakes with insurance companies. We offer free consultations, so you can ask questions without any obligation to move forward.
How do your fees work for catastrophic injury cases?
We typically handle catastrophic injury cases on a contingency basis, which means legal fees are paid from a recovery rather than upfront. We explain the details clearly before you decide anything. The initial consultation is always free, so you can understand the structure before making a choice.
Will I work directly with the attorneys handling my case?
Yes. When you hire our firm, you work directly with the attorneys responsible for your case. We do not sign clients and then hand matters off to layers of staff. Our limited caseload model allows us to stay personally involved and accessible for questions from start to finish.
How long can a catastrophic injury case take?
Timeframes vary depending on factors such as medical recovery, the number of parties involved, and whether a case resolves through settlement or trial. We discuss realistic timelines early and update you as things develop. Our focus is on thorough preparation rather than rushing to an incomplete resolution.
What if my family member cannot speak for themselves?
Families often reach out to us when a loved one has a serious brain or spinal cord injury and cannot advocate for themselves. We work with the appropriate family members or legal representatives to gather information and move the case forward. Throughout, we keep you informed and explain each step in clear terms.
