What Damages Can a Catastrophic Injuries Attorney Recover?

Compensation can never be equal to the life you had before your injuries, but it can help in this difficult transition period. It can offset accumulating hospital bills or lost wages.

Here are just a few of the damages our lawyers can recover on your behalf.

Medical expenses: Following a catastrophic injury, you will likely have bills from hospitals and doctors’ offices.
Pain and suffering: Also known as non-economic damages, these are meant to compensate you for intangible costs due to your injury, such as the physical pain and trauma you experienced and may live with.
Rehabilitation expenses: Therapy, medical devices, and medications meant to improve your condition all fall into this category.
Lost income: Your injury may keep you from working while you recover. You can receive compensation for this time missed from work.
Loss of future earning capacity: If your injuries are so severe that they keep you from returning to work, you can claim damages for the inability to earn.
Home and vehicle modifications: If you’ve been left with disabilities that limit your mobility or physical ability, you can receive compensation for changes to your home and car.

In the unfortunate event of a catastrophic injury taking a loved one’s life, our lawyers can fight for their surviving family members to get:

Compensation for past medical costs and funeral expenses, administration costs, and any legal fees
Loss of consortium, mentorship, and companionship

Our attorneys can review the details of your case and determine a fair settlement value in your catastrophic injury case.

Let a Personal Injury Lawyer Help You

Attaining compensation after sustaining catastrophic injuries in an accident can be a difficult legal battle. It requires preparation, analysis of events before and after the accident, compiling evidence, and turning that into a legal case.

This is not something most people would want to handle by themselves, especially after experiencing life-threatening injuries.

In a time like this, it is important that you focus on your recovery. Finding your new normal after such a catastrophic accident may take time. That’s where our lawyers can come in. Let them take care of the legal issues while you and your family recover in peace.

How a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Can Help

When you partner with a personal injury lawyer, they can assist you by doing the following:

Assess your case
Give you insightful direction and guidance
Simplify the legal process
File the necessary paperwork in a timely manner
Negotiate with the defendant’s legal team
Represent your interests in trial

Our legal team is here to help and guide you through these difficult times. We can answer any questions you may have. Our goal is your physical well-being and financial recovery.

Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Cases

IC § 34-11-2-4 states that you generally have two years to file for compensation against catastrophic injuries from the day of the incident. If you are filing against a city or country, you have 180 days. Otherwise, you have 270 days if your case is against the state government agency.

While two years may seem like a lot of time, it’s important not to delay. You need to take the right course of action within the provided time frame to get the compensation you deserve. Your attorney will need that time to build as strong a case as possible for you and your family.

Causes of Catastrophic injuries

Catastrophic injuries can arise from any accident depending on the injury’s impact on the victim’s life. The recovery time could potentially be years and involve expensive medical and rehabilitation costs.

From the U.S. Department of Labor, any injury that would lead to one of the following effects in your life can be categorized as catastrophic:

Traumatic brain injuries
Amputations and loss of limbs
Internal organ damage
Severe burns
Severe bone fractures
Spinal injuries

Catastrophic injuries can arise from:

Traffic collisions: These are among the main causes of catastrophic injuries.
Construction site accidents: For both workers and passersby, construction sites can be dangerous areas. Falling debris, malfunctioning equipment, or negligent use of construction vehicles can lead to serious injuries.
Slip and fall accidents: While common, they shouldn’t be brushed aside as simple accidents; someone may be liable.

You deserve compensation if you or your loved one have been wrongfully injured due to someone else’s negligence.
