What is catastrophic personal injury?
Catastrophic personal injury cases are more complex than standard injury cases for several reasons. Catastrophic injuries often lead to long-term or permanent disability, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. This makes calculating future medical costs and potential lifetime care needs more complex than in cases involving less serious injuries.
In catastrophic cases, experts often are asked to create a life care plan, which outlines the future needs of the victim. This includes ongoing medical care, therapeutic treatments, assistive equipment, home modifications, and other necessities. It requires expert testimony and thorough documentation, adding to the complexity of the case.
With catastrophic injuries, victims often cannot return to their previous employment, if they can work at all. Calculating the loss of future earnings or lost earning capacity requires economic experts who can consider factors like wage growth, inflation, retirement age, and the victim's career trajectory had the injury not occurred.
Catastrophic injuries can lead to substantial pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress. These are often termed as non-economic damages, and they can be difficult to quantify. Lawyers who regularly practice in these complex cases are best prepared to help you prove emotional and life-changing injuries.
In many catastrophic injury cases, there may be multiple parties who bear joint responsibility for the injury. This adds another layer of complexity as each party's degree of liability must be determined.
Insurers typically fight harder in catastrophic injury cases due to the high stakes involved. They may employ tactics to minimize their liability, necessitating an experienced legal team that can effectively counter these efforts.
Given the high compensation often involved in catastrophic injury cases, these claims come under greater scrutiny from the courts, opposing counsel, and insurance companies. This necessitates an extremely well-prepared and documented case.
Overall, the extreme impacts and high stakes involved in catastrophic injury cases necessitate careful, expert handling, often with the involvement of medical, vocational, and economic professionals, as well as a skilled legal team.
What should you consider when hiring a lawyer in a catastrophic personal injury case?
A skilled lawyer can significantly strengthen a catastrophic injury case and increase the chances of a successful outcome. Amy Griggs has been handling catastrophic injury cases for the entirety of her 20+ year career.
Our firm has experience in handling catastrophic injury cases and will understand the complexities involved, including the need for a long-term view on the impacts of the injury and an in-depth understanding of medical issues. We can navigate the legal system efficiently and effectively.
An effective lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident that caused the injury, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to reconstruct the incident if necessary. They will use this information to build a compelling case that clearly demonstrates the other party's liability. This is our specialty at Tysons Trial Law.
Catastrophic injury cases often require testimony from medical experts, vocational rehabilitation experts, life care planners, and economic experts to establish the full impact of the injury on the victim's life. It is important to work with lawyers who have these resources readily available, like we do at Tysons Trial Law.
Insurers often try to minimize payouts, and they can be particularly aggressive in catastrophic injury cases due to the high stakes. At Tysons Trial Law, we know how to counter these tactics and negotiate effectively to secure fair compensation.
Whether in settlement negotiations or in court, a skilled lawyer will know how to present the case in a way that emphasizes the victim's needs and the other party's liability. This includes making effective arguments, using visuals to illustrate the impacts of the injury, and telling the victim's story in a compelling way. Amy Griggs has spent much of her career studying and speaking about persuasive presentation of evidence to juries. You can find her prior studies and presentations here.
An experienced lawyer will know how to accurately calculate all the damages related to the injury, including future medical costs, lost earnings, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. This helps to ensure that the compensation sought truly reflects the full impact of the injury.
Catastrophic injury cases can be long and challenging. A skilled lawyer will provide moral support and advocacy for the victim throughout the process, fighting for their rights and pursuing the best possible outcome, no matter how long it takes. We walk alongside our clients.
