How Can a Lawyer Help with a Catastrophic Injury Claim?
A skilled personal injury attorney can help a catastrophically injured person by obtaining financial compensation from the party or parties who are legally responsible for causing the injury. This type of legal work is extremely important in cases involving serious injuries. The injured person may have no other source of income for the rest of their life. The money recovered in a catastrophic injury claim may need to provide for all of the victim’s current and future needs related to the injury.
How Do You Project Future Needs in a Catastrophic Injury Case?
Our law firm works with a Certified Life Care Planner to assess the financial needs of our seriously injured clients. The planner will document all accident-related needs, which may include current and future costs associated with:
- Hospitalizations
- Surgeries
- Doctor visits
- Physical therapy
- Medications
- Motorized wheelchairs
- Handicapped van
- Alterations to the home to make it handicapped accessible
- Personal care attendants
How Do You Determine the Costs?
Once we have established our client’s needs, we will work with a forensic accountant to assess the total costs involved. Then we zealously pursue maximum compensation for the full extent of the damages. These damages include pain and suffering and lost earning capacity, as well as current and future medical needs.
It is extremely important to wait until the full extent of your injuries becomes known before filing a catastrophic injury claim. Once your case is concluded, you cannot go back to ask for additional compensation.
