Morgan Hill, CA Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
A catastrophic injury is a severe and debilitating injury that has a significant impact on a person’s life, often rendering them unable to have the same life as they had before. Examples can range from spinal cord injuries to serious brain trauma, severe burns, amputations, and more. Ultimately, any injury that’s permanent in some way might be classified as a catastrophic injury. Generally, car accidents are the leading cause, but other causes can include slips and falls and product liability.
Catastrophic injuries require additional resources and compensation compared to other injuries. For example, a catastrophic injury may leave a victim permanently disabled, resulting in ongoing medical care. Likewise, many victims find themselves unable to work or may otherwise need to pivot to a less physically demanding job in order to put food on the table. When this happens, the defendant might be held liable for your lost wages.
It can be difficult to determine a fair settlement for an ongoing injury, which is why we recommend working with our Morgan Hill catastrophic injury lawyer. We can analyze the details of your case to determine what a fair settlement would be, accounting for both immediate and future costs. We can also apply legal pressure should the insurance companies try to deny your claim or try offering a less-than-favorable settlement.
