While there is no specific legal definition, catastrophic injury typically refers to a significant injury that permanently prevents the victim from performing work or maintaining gainful employment. These injuries often include physical or mental impairments. Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries include:
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
In a catastrophic injury, a high-value settlement or jury award is pursued – as the injured person often requires a lifetime of expensive medical care, medical equipment, extensive rehabilitation treatments, many surgeries, nursing care, or other needs. To determine the level of financial compensation that should be pursued involves getting assistance from medical experts, financial experts, and other professional resources. The damages pursued fall into two basic categories:
No Fees Unless We Win
After a catastrophic injury, the injured person and his or her family are naturally focused on recovery and health. You may be unaware of the importance of securing legal representation as early as possible. For a catastrophic injury case to be successful, it must be supported by extensive evidence, much of which must be identified and preserved at once.
An accident site investigation may be necessary or interviews with medical professionals who were present when a medical error occurred. The amount of compensation you will be able to recover will be the result of the quality of the evidence supporting the claim.
