As personal injury attorneys, it is our duty to illustrate catastrophic personal losses in economic terms and to present the insurance companies and jury with a compelling statement regarding the value of our client's claim.

Calculating a claim for catastrophic injury or wrongful death
An injury is considered catastrophic if the victim requires extended medical treatment or suffers a permanent disability. Examples of such injuries include back, neck and spinal cord injuries that result in varying degrees of paralysis (quadriplegia, paraplegia, and other paralysis), nerve damage and/or chronic pain; burn injuries that cause disfiguring scarring; inhalation injuries that cause permanent lung damage; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a dog bite or attack; amputation of a limb; and loss of vision or hearing.

When calculating the value of our client's claim for a serious injury, our law firm works with medical experts to make sure that the settlement or verdict takes into consideration the need for current and future medical and psychiatric treatment, physical and occupational therapy, handicap accommodations and nursing care. We call on life-care and economic experts to accurately project the potential cost of medical and long-term care throughout our client's life.

Also taken into consideration in our pursuit of compensation is our client ’s loss of earning power, pain and suffering, and loss of services.
