What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

Catastrophic injuries are severe injuries that result in long-term or permanent disability, significantly impacting your ability to work and enjoy life. These injuries require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

Many catastrophic injuries affect the central nervous system, leading to lifelong complications and the need for assistance with daily activities. Common catastrophic injuries include spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and traumatic brain injuries.

The financial impact of catastrophic injuries extends far beyond initial medical bills, often including long-term care costs, lost earning potential, and necessary modifications to your home or vehicle.

Compensation That Our Summerville Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Could Help You Win

You may be owed money for far more expenses than you think, including future ones that you don’t know about. Here are some of the damages you could win compensation for through a catastrophic injury claim.

Immediate Medical Expenses

We pursue compensation for all emergency medical interventions, including ambulance transport, trauma care, and critical surgeries. In catastrophic injury cases, these immediate costs often reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Our team works with medical professionals to document every procedure, medication, and treatment you’ve received. We’ll work to ensure your settlement accounts for the extraordinary costs of life-saving measures and stabilizing care.

Long-Term Medical Care

Catastrophic injuries typically require extensive rehabilitation, multiple surgeries, and ongoing medical treatment. We fight for compensation to cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychological counseling, and other long-term medical care.

We also pursue compensation for specialized medical equipment like wheelchairs, ventilators, or prosthetics, as well as their maintenance and eventual replacement costs. Your settlement should include all funds for future medical procedures and necessary treatments related to your injury.

Home and Vehicle Modifications

Many catastrophic injury victims require significant modifications to their homes and vehicles. We seek compensation for wheelchair ramps, bathroom modifications, lift systems, and other necessary adaptations.

We work with accessibility experts to determine what modifications you’ll need to maintain independence. Your settlement should cover both immediate and future adaptation needs.

The costs of specialized vehicles or vehicle modifications can be substantial. Our Summerville catastrophic injury attorneys will fight to ensure your settlement includes funds for these essential mobility tools.

Lost Income and Future Earnings

We calculate all wages lost during your recovery period, including salary, bonuses, and benefits. In catastrophic injury cases, this often includes months or years of missed work.

If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous career, we’ll seek compensation for your reduced earning capacity. This includes the difference between your pre-injury and post-injury earning potential over your lifetime.

We work with vocational experts and economists to accurately project these losses, accounting for factors like inflation, promotions, and career advancement opportunities you may have lost.

Personal Care Assistance

Many catastrophic injury victims require ongoing personal care assistance. We pursue compensation for in-home nursing care, personal attendants, and household services.

We consult life care planning experts to project these costs over your lifetime. We can also seek compensation for family members who have had to reduce work hours or leave jobs to provide care.

Pain and Suffering

Catastrophic injuries cause exceptional physical pain and emotional trauma. We work to secure compensation reflecting the severity and permanence of your pain and suffering after your accident.

Your settlement should also account for psychological impacts like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also pursue compensation for loss of enjoyment of life, which accounts for activities you can no longer participate in and the overall impact on your quality of life.
