What Is A Catastrophic Injury?

While there is no set definition of a catastrophic injury, in legal terms, an injury is “catastrophic” when it prevents the victim from returning to his or her normal, pre-injury life. In general, catastrophic injuries are usually disabling in some way, whether physically or cognitively.

Often, catastrophic injuries don’t only affect the victim but his or her family members and loved ones, as well. For example, a traumatic brain injury might cause a person to become unable to work. If the victim was the primary breadwinner for the family, his or her spouse might then need to enter the workforce or take on additional work in order to keep up with the family’s day-to-day expenses. When medical bills are factored in, the financial strain on the entire family can be immense.

In fact, catastrophic injuries almost always have serious, long-term effects. For this reason, it is important to find a catastrophic injury attorney near you who knows how to fight for not only your immediate needs but also your future losses and damages, as well.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries differ from other types of injuries in that they generally permanently impact the victim, whether it be in one or more functional systems. Even after the victim has healed, their injuries will likely influence the way they live the rest of their life, often preventing them from doing the same kinds of activities they did before.

Common types of catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Head and neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Amputations
• Eye injuries and vision loss
• Severe burn injuries
• Paralysis
• Multiple fractures

Catastrophic injuries often lead to exorbitant medical bills, lost wages from missing work, and can even put you out of work completely if you’re permanently disabled. With such significant consequences, you deserve to seek compensation if your injury was caused by a negligent party. Our New York catastrophic injury lawyer can do the work in preparing a lawsuit so you can focus on your recovery.

Understanding the Long-Term Impact of Catastrophic Injuries

When a catastrophic injury occurs, it can have a lifelong impact on the victim and their family. In addition to the physical pain and emotional trauma, there may be ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care needs. At The Paris Law Group, our team of experienced New York catastrophic injury attorneys understands the importance of securing maximum compensation to cover these long-term costs.

We work with medical experts, economists, and other professionals to carefully calculate the future financial and medical needs of our clients. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive the full compensation they are entitled to for their past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it's important to seek legal representation as soon as possible. Our team is available for a free consultation to discuss your case and answer any questions you may have. Contact us today to learn more.

Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

There are many different causes for catastrophic injuries, including:

• Bicycle accidents
• Car crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck wrecks
• Medical malpractice
• Sports and recreational accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Slip and falls
• Dog bites and attacks
• Construction accidents
• Defective products

Though accidents happen all the time, you shouldn’t have to be in pain as the result of someone else’s mistake. We can fight to hold the responsible party liable for your losses.

Catastrophic Injuries From Car Accidents

Because New York is a no-fault insurance state, individuals injured in a car accident typically turn to their own insurance company for compensation for medical expenses and lost wages through their Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. However, if you suffered a catastrophic injury in a car accident, you may be able to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault party.

To bring a lawsuit for pain and suffering against the at-fault driver, your claim must meet one of the following criteria, which are outlined in New York Insurance Law Section 5102(d):

• Dismemberment
• Significant Disfigurement
• Broken bones or fractures
• Permanent Loss of Use
• Permanent Limitation of Use

If your injuries meet these criteria, contact the New York catastrophic injury lawyers at The Paris Law Group, PC. Our firm can help you file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver in order to pursue the compensation you deserve after suffering a life-altering injury.

Damages That Can Be Recovered For Catastrophic Injuries

As previously mentioned, catastrophic injuries lead to serious, lasting effects. Unlike many normal personal injury claims, creating a comprehensive picture of your losses often involves examining how your injuries will affect you in the future and for the remainder of your life.

At The Paris Law Group, PC, we know how to properly investigate catastrophic injury claims in New York. We often work with a team of experts, comprising accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, economists, mental health specialists, expert witnesses, and others. This allows us to truly understand the impact of your injury and, from there, fight for the maximum compensation you are owed.

If someone else was responsible for your injuries, we can help you seek compensation for the following damages:

• Current and future medical costs associated with your injury
• Lost income/wages, including future lost earnings
• Lost or reduced earning capacity/disability
• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
• Counseling services and other costs associated with treating the emotional effects of the injury
• Punitive damages, when the at-fault party was egregiously negligent

Because catastrophic injuries prevent you from living your life normally, you deserve enough compensation to assist with your new lifestyle. Our New York catastrophic injury attorney knows that your life has been interrupted in the most devastating way. We want to help you restart.
