Houston Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
Serving the Injured in Greater Houston, Across the Gulf Coast Region, and Nationwide
Catastrophic injuries and diseases are among the most devastating events you can experience. Life-changing and debilitating, they can cause physical, emotional, and financial impacts not only on you but on your loved ones as well.
Recovering from a catastrophic injury can entail a long and arduous road back to health. However, restoring one’s full physical condition before the injury may never occur. In some cases, a catastrophically injured person may face the rest of their life with some form of permanent disability.
Catastrophic diseases can be equally cruel. Cancers caused by toxic substances, such as asbestos, can be challenging to treat due to their aggressive nature. These diseases are typically job-related; asbestos mining and processing is a prime example in which workers exposed to this substance are later diagnosed with Mesothelioma.
At The Patronella Law Firm, our practice is devoted exclusively to representing those catastrophically harmed by the negligence or wrongdoing of others. These “others” can be individuals, businesses, or even government entities. Attorney Michael Patronella brings over 30 years of professional personal injury experience and steadfast human support to your case.

How We Can Help
Your Advocate in the Fight for Justice
What Are Personal Injury Claims & Lawsuits?
Personal injury claims and lawsuits are legal actions taken by individuals injured physically or psychologically due to another party's negligence or intentional actions. These claims seek to recover compensation for damages incurred, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other impacts on the person’s life due to the injury or disease.
Catastrophic injuries include those so severe as to cause permanent disability, extensive medical care, and significant financial hardship. These injuries often leave victims unable to work, care for themselves, or live independently. They include such injuries as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputation, and severe burns.
Catastrophic Injury vs. Catastrophic Disease
While catastrophic injuries are often the result of accidents, catastrophic diseases are severe illnesses that have a profound impact on a person's life expectancy and well-being. In some cases, they have low survival rates due to factors such as late-stage diagnosis, the aggressive nature of the disease, limited treatment options, and challenges in effective disease management. them.

Our Focus: Catastrophic Cancers & Toxic Torts
While we handle all types of catastrophic injury cases, The Patronella Law Firm focuses on representing individuals and families affected by asbestos exposure leading to catastrophic diseases. Asbestos fibers are a known carcinogen.
Asbestos is classified as a human carcinogen by leading health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Exposure to asbestos fibers, especially when inhaled, has been definitively linked to an increased risk of developing various types of cancer, including Mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the lungs and other organs), lung cancer, and other respiratory cancers. Asbestos's sharp, needle-like fibers can become lodged in the body, leading to inflammation, scarring, and genetic damage that can eventually develop cancerous cells.
Mr. Patronella routinely represents clients and their families in the following catastrophic diseases caused by negligence:
- Mesothelioma: This is a rare and aggressive cancer of the lining of the lungs, chest cavity, or abdomen caused by exposure to asbestos fibers.
- Lung cancer: This type of cancer can range from adenocarcinoma to non-small cell carcinoma, bronchogenic carcinoma, originating in the airways, to oat cell carcinoma, a more aggressive type of lung cancer often linked to smoking, but like the others, also caused by asbestos exposure.
- Ovarian cancer: Studies suggest a possible link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women.
Claims and lawsuits for the above are considered toxic torts. They seek compensation from the negligent or at-fault parties or their insurers because you were injured or became sick due to exposure to a harmful substance.
If your loved one has passed away due to a catastrophic injury or disease, our firm can help you pursue compensation for wrongful death.
