CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL INJURY
It is often a good idea to seek specialized legal assistance with catastrophic injury cases. Personal injury attorneys have a much better understanding of various injuries that can be sustained such as closed head injuries or burn injuries. Falling victim to a catastrophic injury can mean spending the rest of your life in need of medical care or even surgeries.
It is imperative to have an attorney who understands the process associated with treatment and recovery process when putting together a personal injury case. For example, a child suffering from severe burns may not only require repeated surgeries to account for growth but also various surgeries for cosmetic reasons. Similarly a child that suffers a bone fracture that affects growth plate may require tedious bone-stretching procedures and still may never have normal use of that limb. If you hire an attorney that understands these long-term effects, they will be more capable of representing you and getting just compensation.
The real tragedy is that many people fall victim to catastrophic injury, and then can’t recover adequately. Legislation throughout the country has imposed caps on "non-economic" damages, which are relatively low considering the cost of medical care in these instances. Studies indicate that jury verdicts are uncommon and usually the victims are left undercompensated for the injuries they sustained. By misleading the public to believe the exceptional case is the norm; insurance companies protect their finances at the expense of the public’s personal injury victims.
Many times it is the most dangerous or worst drivers that carry the lowest possible amount of insurance that laws allow or carry no insurance at all. Bearing this in mind imagine suffering from a serious brain, spinal cord or bone injury, receiving disfiguring scars and having to live the rest of your life this way. No amount of money can repay you for the suffering these injuries would create.
If you or a loved one find yourself unexpectedly recovering from a catastrophic personal injury, it is imperative seek assistance from an attorney who has experience with your type of injury and that understands the system and knows how to seek out all sources of recovery for you. Even if you find you don't have a legal cause of action, an attorney might at the very least be capable of assisting you in obtaining government benefits.
