A Catastrophic injury can occur and come in different forms.

It is critical in catastrophic injury cases that the attorneys are diligent and pursue all sources of recovery. Given the severe nature of the injuries that are common in these types of cases where the victim can face staggering medical and life-care costs and lost income, seeking every avenue of recovery is paramount in importance. One factor in this evaluation is determining the potential liable parties for the accident and/or injuries. There is often more than one party that bears responsibility for a victim’s injuries. A common mistake in catastrophic injury cases is merely pursuing one source of insurance or recovery. The amount of liability insurance available to the victim from the primary defendant frequently is not sufficient to cover all of the victim’s medical treatments, lost wages, diminished income capacity, and pain and suffering. Most insurance policies are not large enough to address the amount of these damages. That is why it is important to have high quality, aggressive, and creative legal representation to fight on your behalf.
