Personal Injury Claims
A catastrophic injury changes everything in an instant. Beyond the physical pain, many people face extended hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and the stress of not knowing how bills will get paid or what life will look like long-term. When someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you shouldn’t be the one left carrying the financial burden. Personal injury claims help individuals recover all damages resulting from an incident caused by negligence.
Personal Injury Claims We Handle
For more than 20 years, The Yost Legal Group has represented individuals and families in serious personal injury matters. We focus on high-impact cases involving life-altering harm, including:
Burn Injuries (including severe scarring, nerve damage, and long-term complications)
Spinal Cord Injuries (paralysis, loss of mobility, and permanent disability)
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) (concussions, cognitive changes, memory loss, and personality changes)
Injuries Resulting in Wrongful Death (support for families seeking accountability and financial stability)
If you’re unsure whether your injury “counts” as catastrophic, it’s still worth speaking with a lawyer. Many injuries worsen over time, and the full impact isn’t always clear in the first days or weeks.
Why Timing Matters After an Injury
The best time to contact The Yost Legal Group is as soon as possible after the injury occurs. Early involvement allows our team to:
Investigate what happened while the evidence is still available
Identify all potentially responsible parties
Preserve critical records (photos, surveillance footage, incident reports, witness statements)
Help protect you from common insurance tactics designed to minimize your claim
Even small delays can make a big difference. Video footage can be erased, witnesses can become harder to locate, and important details can get lost.
How We Help Protect Your Personal Injury Claim
After a serious injury, what you say and do can affect your ability to recover compensation. Insurance adjusters may sound helpful, but their goal is often to reduce what they pay—or deny the claim altogether. Our firm can step in to handle communications and reduce the pressure on you and your family.
We can help by communicating with:
Insurance companies and adjusters
Hospitals and medical providers
Drug companies and manufacturers (when products or medications are involved)
Witnesses and investigators
Other parties who may have information essential to proving fault and damages
Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim
Every case is different, but depending on the circumstances, a personal injury claim may seek compensation for:
Past and future medical expenses
Rehabilitation and long-term care needs
Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members (when applicable)
Our goal is to pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of the injury—not just the immediate bills.
