Are you suffering from a catastrophic injury? Have you been unable to work after your accident? You’re not alone. Catastrophic injuries, whether they occurred in a car accident or elsewhere, can dramatically alter the course of your life.
Another party may be responsible for your injuries. If you believe negligence played a role in your accident, we can help. Our Warsaw catastrophic injury lawyers are prepared to do whatever it takes to secure fair compensation.
How Much Are Catastrophic Injuries Worth?
The worth of your case will depend on the specifics of your situation. Some people recover relatively quickly from their catastrophic injuries. Others are left disabled and unable to earn a consistent income.
This variability in case outcomes means that there’s no surefire way to guess the value of a case. You may need a lawyer for an accurate assessment.
However, catastrophic injuries usually share one thing in common: damages. Damages are a legal category that account for the losses you’ve experienced. They exist to reimburse you and make you whole after your accident.
Typically, they include:
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Medication
- Rehab
- Physical therapy
- Counseling
- Other costs linked to your case
The process of reimbursing you after an accident is called “recovering damages”. This process may include the pursuit of a lawsuit or insurance settlement.

How a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Will Pursue Damages
Pursuing damages is complicated. It involves multiple steps and often requires in-depth knowledge of Indiana’s legal codes.
This process includes:
Compiling Evidence
If the pursuit of damages is a house, you can think of evidence as the foundation. Without a strong foundation, a house, or legal case, will eventually collapse. You need to have strong evidence to have a strong case. This process is oftentimes called discovery.
A lawyer working on your behalf will turn to these sources to gather evidence:
- Your medical records, which will show the severity of your injuries
- Footage or images of where the accident took place
- Testimonies from witnesses
- Testimonies from experts
- Any other relevant case evidence
Finding the Liable Party
This evidence will be used to link a potentially liable party to your injuries. This link is created by proving the following four statements:
- The liable party owed you a duty of care.
- The liable party breached this duty of care by behaving in a negligent manner.
- This breach contributed to your injuries.
- Your medical records demonstrate that you suffered injuries.
Liable parties vary from case to case. Catastrophic injuries are a particularly broad category. A liable party in your case could be:
- A business owner
- A truck driver
- A car driver
- A party responsible for maintaining property safety
- A landlord
Managing Case Communications
Juggling all the parties involved in a legal case is a full-time job. You’ll need to communicate with the liable party, their representatives, and any other relevant officials.
Insurance negotiations can be tricky, too. While insurers aren’t out to get you, they may be out to skimp you on your settlement. Your initial settlement offer from an insurance may be lower than it should be.
A lawyer can manage these communications and prepare you for interacting with an insurer. They can also identify and protect you from bad-faith insurance practices.
The Pursuit of Compensation
The final step of the catastrophic injury process is the actual pursuit of compensation. Your lawyer can negotiate with insurers for a fair settlement or file a lawsuit. This step necessitates all of those that precede it.
