Common Inquiries
Frequently Asked Questions
Catastrophic injury cases often raise important questions about medical treatment, compensation, liability, and the legal process. Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most frequently.
A catastrophic injury is generally one that causes severe, permanent, or long-term impairment and substantially affects a person's ability to work, live independently, or participate in everyday activities.
Depending on the circumstances, a claim may involve compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost income, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and other losses permitted by applicable law.
Medical records, treatment history, expert opinions, rehabilitation evidence, employment information, and other documentation may help establish how an injury affects a person's current and future life.
The deadline depends on the applicable law and the specific circumstances of the case. Because filing deadlines can be critical, it is important to discuss a potential claim with an attorney as soon as reasonably possible.
