Getting the Legal Perspective on Car Accidents – Audio Interview
Car accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs — The Hammer — sat down to address legal and safety considerations when injured from a car crash in a recent radio episode of “Ask The Hammer,” the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. There are many elements at play when knowing what to do after a car accident. Listen to the episode directly below.
What is a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries include injuries where the health outcomes are extreme. These injuries significantly alter a person’s life and ability to work or perform day-to-day activities. Recovery and rehabilitation after a catastrophic injury are extensive and costly. And even with extensive help, the person may never return to their previous level of functioning.
A few examples of catastrophic injuries include the following:
- Spinal cord injuries, such as those that cause people not to be able to walk or move their arms.
- Amputations, which alter a person’s ability to use their limbs
- Brain injuries, such as those that cause a person to be unable to think or remember
- Severe burns that result in disfigurement or limited mobility.
Every catastrophic injury is different, but they all result in significant life changes and often a lot of pain and suffering. The extensive costs of a catastrophic injury can lead some people to pursue a catastrophic injury lawsuit for compensation.

What Sort of Compensation Can I Get in a Catastrophic Injury Case?
There are lots of costs associated with a catastrophic injury. For example, let us say that you are part of a terrible accident where you experience a spinal cord injury. Because of the spinal cord injury, you cannot use your arms and legs anymore. You cannot work like you usually would and can only use your head and neck. You will likely have extensive costs related to this injury, including the following:
- Medical bills from emergency medical treatment, surgeries, medications, and follow-up care
- Costs from accommodations related to your new disability such as from your wheelchair and renovations to make areas handicap accessible
- Costs from rehab and other skill training to learn how to cope with your disability
- Costs of hiring more people to help you because of your disability
You may be able to recover compensation to help with these costs. In addition, you may be able to receive compensation for the income you have lost or your reduced earning capacity.
Because catastrophic injuries are so severe, you may be able to receive compensation for non-economic damages as well. For example, you may be able to recover compensation for your decline in your quality of life or your pain and suffering caused by your injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File a Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit?
Every state has slightly different statutes of limitations. In Kentucky, under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1), you have one year from the date of the accident to file a catastrophic injury lawsuit.
This is not a very big window, so it is best to seek legal help early on with your case. An experienced attorney can work with you to ensure you don’t miss the deadline for filing a catastrophic injury lawsuit.
