Life-altering injuries like spinal cord damage, brain trauma, and amputations have long-term mental, emotional and financial costs. Victims will pay hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in medical costs along with a reduced capacity to work.
When you’ve suffered a debilitating injury due to someone else’s negligence, a Jeffersonville catastrophic injury attorney can help you pursue your right to compensation. Our team at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers has been serving personal injury victims for over 25 years. We can help you get compensated for your injuries or pursue a wrongful death case for a lost loved one.
How Much Is a Catastrophic Injury Case Worth?
No amount of money will justify what happened to you or set things right. But getting compensated for your injuries can help you financially prepare for the road ahead and hold bad actors accountable.
The amount of compensation you’re entitled to depends on the severity of your injuries and the extent of your recovery. We break this down into two categories; economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages represent financial losses you’ve sustained that can be verified. You may be entitled to:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitative costs
- Loss of income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Prescriptions
- Nursing home care
- Home or car modifications
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are intangible losses that you’ve sustained. While these damages do not have a dollar amount attached to them, they should be considered when discussing compensation. You may be entitled to:
- Pain and suffering
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
We will use this information to determine the financial value of your claim. Our team has recovered over $1 billion in settlements for Indiana injury victims and their families.

Is It Worth Hiring a Jeffersonville Catastrophic Injury Attorney?
Each accident case is unique but the expertise of a personal injury attorney can be beneficial in most cases. Our attorney’s job is to defend you against aggressive insurance companies, protect your interests, and seek compensation on your behalf.
Hiring a catastrophic injury lawyer allows you to focus on your recovery while also seeking compensation. Here’s how our Jeffersonville catastrophic injury team can help.
Liability Disputes
In a catastrophic injury case, the at-fault parties may try to shift the blame onto you. We can help you prove their negligence and responsibility for your injuries so that you can recover the compensation owed to you.
Calculating Damages
Catastrophic injury cases are unique because the damages you’ve sustained are long-term and in some cases indefinite. Our attorneys, with the help of economists and medical experts, can get an accurate calculation of your future damages to place a value on your claim.
Defending Your Interests
Catastrophic injury lawsuits are high stakes. The other party and their insurer will want to make this go away quickly which can make them resort to deceptive tactics. They may try to:
- Misrepresent the terms of the insurance policy
- Require unnecessary paperwork to slow the process
- Fail to investigate the claim
- Mislead you regarding your legal rights
- Refuse to pay your claim
- Raise false allegations
We’ve worked closely with insurance companies for decades and we understand their motives. If the insurance company is unwilling to negotiate a fair settlement and acts in bad faith we can move forward with a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf.

Indiana Statute of Limitations: The Cost of Waiting
Indiana allows victims to file a personal injury lawsuit up to two years following the accident. Any cases filed after this deadline will not be heard by the courts. Once filed, these cases can take months and even years to conclude.
By getting started right away, we can reduce the possibility of exceeding the statute of limitations.

Establishing Liability in a Catastrophic Injury Case
When an individual or entity’s carelessness causes you to be injured, they can be held legally responsible (liability). In legal terms, their carelessness is called negligence. To be successful in your case, we must prove the negligence of the other party. To do so, we must establish that:
- The other party owed you a duty of care.
- The other party breached their duty of care.
- You suffered catastrophic injuries.
- Your injuries were a direct result of the other party’s breach of duty.
While it can seem straightforward, we must prove each of these points individually and without a doubt. Our attorneys can help you by conducting a thorough investigation into your case to find indisputable evidence and develop a legal argument to support these claims.
