Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Catastrophic Injuries
What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?
Catastrophic injuries are severe, life-altering injuries that result in permanent disability, long-term medical care, and significant impact on quality of life. Examples include spinal cord injuries causing paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, multiple fractures, and organ damage.
How much compensation can I receive for a catastrophic injury?
Catastrophic injury settlements often range from several million to tens of millions of dollars. The amount depends on injury severity, lifetime care costs, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the strength of liability evidence. Our largest settlements have exceeded $40 million.
How long do catastrophic injury cases take?
Due to their complexity, catastrophic injury cases typically take 2-5 years to resolve. We often wait until medical treatment stabilizes to fully assess future needs. However, we work to obtain interim compensation when possible to cover immediate expenses.
Can I afford a catastrophic injury lawyer?
Yes. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We also advance all costs for experts, medical records, and litigation. You only pay a fee if we win your case.
What damages can I recover in a catastrophic injury case?
You may recover: all past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and therapy costs, home modifications and adaptive equipment, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Who can be held liable for my catastrophic injury?
Depending on how the injury occurred, liable parties may include negligent drivers, employers, property owners, manufacturers of defective products, medical providers, contractors, and government entities. We investigate all potential sources of recovery.
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Never accept an offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping to settle before you understand the full value of your claim. Catastrophic injury cases require careful evaluation of lifetime needs.
What if my loved one died from a catastrophic injury?
If a catastrophic injury resulted in death, family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. This can recover funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages. We handle these sensitive cases with compassion.
