Legal Action To Maximize Compensation For Catastrophic Injuries
Last updated on February 12, 2025
Catastrophic injuries are severe injuries that have life-altering effects on victims and their families. Injuries like spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns and amputations can result in permanent disabilities requiring ongoing medical care and rehabilitation and considerable financial resources.
At Jalilvand Law Corporation, we know the toll these injuries can take on accident victims and their futures. Our legal team will act on your behalf to fight for the compensation you deserve after suffering such extreme injuries, no matter what may have caused it.
Common Causes Of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries can occur in various scenarios, often unexpectedly. We have help clients recover from accidents such as:
- Vehicle accidents – High-speed impacts or collisions resulting in severe bodily harm
- Workplace accidents – Construction sites can lead to catastrophic injuries due to falls or equipment failures
- Slip-and-falls – Whether from heights, slippery surfaces, or uneven walkways
- Sports injuries – Contact sports are especially dangerous
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it is crucial to understand your legal rights and options. Victims of any catastrophic injury may be able to seek compensation by demonstrating that another party’s negligence led to the injury while filing a compensation claim. Depending on the severity of their injuries, they may also qualify for disability benefits.
The Long-Term Impact Of Serious Or Permanent Injuries
The impact of a catastrophic injury can manifest in many different ways. For example, victims can face physical consequences like paralysis, chronic pain, or loss of mobility. They may experience emotional trauma that can lead to anxiety, depression, and a decreased quality of life. These injuries can be quite costly, with ongoing medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and lost wages from an inability to work. In an injury claim, we aim to secure compensation to reflect these costs.
How We Prove Negligence In Personal Injury Cases
A critical component to success in these cases is establishing who is directly liable for your injuries. We can establish the negligence in your accident by demonstrating four key elements: duty, breach, causation and damages. We can accomplish this by showing the defendant had a duty of care toward you, how they broke that duty, the link between the breach of duty and your injury, and the extent of the damages you suffered. By establishing these elements, we can pursue the full compensation you deserve.
Compensation For Catastrophic Injuries
Once we have established liability, we can begin pursuing the money you deserve. Every injury claim is different, and the money plaintiffs receive is just as unique. To provide you with a swift resolution, we will explore negotiating for compensation that reflects all costs of your injuries, including medical bills, lost income, loss of earning ability, relocation or renovation expenses to adapt to your injuries, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering. If negotiations cannot provide a fruitful result, we are prepared to fight for you in court.
Supporting You Through The Claims Process
You may be wondering what to expect from your personal injury claim, and we can give you an idea of your claim. We will review your claim at your initial consultation with us and determine if you have a case. If we agree to take your case, we will bolster your claim by collecting evidence like accident reports, medical records, and video footage. Once we have a strong case, we will negotiate with the insurance companies to earn fair compensation. We will take your case to court for litigation if negotiations do not work. We will be by your side through every step of your claim to earn the outcome you deserve.
