Motor vehicle crashes carry a high risk of catastrophic injury. We know how to handle negotiations with insurance companies to make sure your claim is not delayed or denied for frivolous reasons.

Types of Catastrophic Injury

Generally, an injury is considered catastrophic when it inhibits a critical function of the body. However, severely disfiguring injuries that cause significant distress may also be considered catastrophic injuries. Listed below are a few common forms of catastrophic bodily harm:

• Burns: Accidents involving explosions or sudden combustion can result in disfiguring burns that may take surgery to correct.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A blow to the skull may result in permanent brain damage, with observable effects that may impact a victim's problem-solving abilities, memory, or mood.
• Amputations: Certain accidents can result in the loss of a limb, whether as a direct consequence of the accident or as part of a life-saving procedure.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: The spinal cord controls body motion, and so any damage to the spine may lead to paralysis.
• Internal Damage: A traumatic impact may result in internal bleeding or damage to organs.

When we calculate the value of your claim, we will take a complete inventory of the damages you have suffered. An insurance company or other liable party may attempt to downplay the severity of your injury, but our lawyers can support your claim with medical records and other documentation that demonstrates the extent of your damages.

Compensation for Catastrophic Injuries

In Virginia, you can recover both economic and non-economic damages in a personal injury claim. Economic damages represent real expenses and the financial implications of your injury, such as your bills and loss of earning capacity, while non-economic damages represent more abstract costs like physical pain, emotional distress, and a diminished enjoyment of life. A fair remedy for a catastrophic injury should factor in all of your damages, and our lawyers can give you a fair estimate of your claim's worth.

The important thing to keep in mind with personal injury claims is the two-year statute of limitations. Essentially, this means that you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim against the liable party. Once the statute expires, you can no longer take legal action. Our lawyers can speed up the process of filing a claim, allowing you to recover comfortably while we take steps to secure compensation on your behalf.
