Arizona Catastrophic Injury Attorney for Life-Changing Accidents

When an Injury Changes Your Life Forever, You Need a Legal Team That Looks Ahead

Catastrophic injuries are those after which life will never return to what it was — injuries that affect your ability to work, move, think, or live independently. Traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, severe burns, amputations, and spinal cord injuries often require lifelong medical care, major home or vehicle modifications, and deep emotional adjustment. These cases demand careful planning, strong advocacy, and a lawyer who understands the decades-long impact on your health, finances, and family.


The Law Office of Matthew J. Poirier, PLLC helps individuals across Northern Arizona — including Sedona, Williams, Page, Tuba City, and Winslow — fight for the full compensation needed to rebuild their lives.

What We Help With

Severe Injuries from Highway and Vehicle Crashes

High-speed collisions, rollover crashes, and 18-wheeler accidents on I-40 or I-17 can cause permanent disabilities.

Traumatic Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries

TBIs and spinal injuries often require long-term rehabilitation, ongoing medical care, and significant lifestyle adjustments.

Paralysis, Amputations & Severe Burns

These injuries can affect mobility, independence, and the ability to work. We calculate long-term care costs, adaptive equipment, and in-home support.

Catastrophic Falls & Recreation Accidents

Falls from height, severe tourism-related injuries, and outdoor recreation incidents are common in areas like Sedona and Page.

Life-Changing Injuries Caused by Defective Products

If a malfunctioning device, vehicle part, or consumer product caused the injury, we investigate all responsible parties.

Cases Involving Loss of Life

In tragic circumstances where injuries become fatal, we guide families through available legal options.

Mistakes That Can Limit Long-Term Compensation

  • Throwing away the defective product.
    Preserve it — it’s critical evidence.


  • Assuming the injury was your fault.
    Many people blame themselves for using the product “incorrectly,” when the problem was a defect.


  • Not documenting injuries or damages.
    Photos, reports, and medical records strengthen your claim.


  • Letting the manufacturer delay or dismiss your concerns.
    Corporate representatives often deny defects until forced to confront evidence.


  • Waiting too long to speak with a lawyer.
    Product cases require early investigation to preserve proof and identify responsible parties.
