Financial Recovery for Catastrophic Injuries
Most personal injury cases include a petition for some amount of financial damages, but if you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury, you’re looking at costs above and beyond that of a typical accident.
Medical costs for catastrophic injuries can be astronomical, as treatment may include:
- Emergency care
- Medication
- Physical therapy or rehab
- Corrective surgeries
- Residence in long-term care
- In-home nursing
- Prosthetics, wheelchairs, or other mobility assistance
Another significant long-term financial impact following a catastrophic injury is the loss of income and earning potential. A physical disability may prevent you from working at the job you were trained for; an injury that impacts the brain could prevent you from being able to learn a new trade and support yourself and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions About Your Legal Rights & Next Steps
-
I have been in an accident, what should I do?If you have been involved in an accident there are certain steps you should take to make sure you are properly compensated for your damaged property, medical bills and injuries. Always make sure to gather as much information as you can about the other party. This includes vehicle descriptions, license plate number, insurance information, and contact information. Be certain to gather the contact information for any witnesses because many people leave the scene of an accident believing the other party has accepted responsibility only to find out later that the other party is actually placing you at fault. Also take photos of the scene, damage to all vehicles involved, and the individuals involved. If there is a police officer on the scene, get his/her name, badge or I.D. number, and contact information. This information will be useful when attempting to obtain the police report. These are just a few things to keep in mind to streamline the handling of your claim. Below is a list of common most common questions we receive regarding personal injury claims.
-
I have been hurt in an accident, what do I do?First and foremost, seek medical treatment. This might include emergency care, urgent care, or a visit to your physician. It is a good idea to see a doctor in the abundance of caution because you could be injured and not know it right away. Once you are diagnosed, map out and consistently follow the physician’s plan for recovery. Remember, the main goal is to ensure that you recover from your injuries. Sometimes this requires physical therapy and or chiropractic treatment. Unfortunately, most insurance adjusters will not properly evaluate your injuries without tangible proof that you sustained and suffered from a particular injury.
-
Why should I hire an attorney, can't I just handle my claim myself?The short answer is yes, you can handle your personal injury claim yourself, but it is never a good idea. Remember, the insurance company is there to represent the best interest of their insured. This means they will sometimes try to deny liability for your property damage, minimize your medical expenses, or outright deny your claim for bodily injury compensation. Personal injury law is complex and requires an experienced professional to analyze every factor involved in your case to ensure your rights are protected. This is why it is important to hire an experienced personal injury attorney with an in depth knowledge of the law to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.
