| If you or someone you love has been injured, you may or may not
be dealing with a catastrophic injury. Here is a general definition:
What is a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries are those that result in major bodily
injury, and sadly, sometimes death. A catastrophic injury victim is left with a
permanent, disabling injury - one that debilitates them and decreases their
quality of life. These injuries involve extended hospital stays and/or a number
of surgeries, and typically treatment is ongoing. With catastrophic injury, the
victim is almost always unable to work for an extended period of time and has
extensive medical expenses that may not be covered under a standard medical
insurance policy. Along with these economic damages, the injured party is often
plagued with pain, suffering and emotional distress.
Catastrophic Claims
Since catastrophic injury claims often involve payment for
substantial economic and non-economic (or human) damages, there are two
important notes. First, it's extremely important that the injured party or their
family act promptly to secure competent legal representation. Time is of the
essence because of the seriousness of the injuries involved. Second, it is also
important that the attorney handling the catastrophic injury case shows extreme
knowledge in this area. Obtaining successful catastrophic injury claims requires
the ability to both recreate the accident to establish fault, and accurately
predict future economic and non-economic damages. To accomplish these goals, the
attorney must be highly experienced with the types of catastrophic injuries,
leverage forensic evidence and the best experts and be willing to fight the
opposition in court in order to obtain justice.
