Victims of Catastrophic Injuries in Clermont, Inverness and Tavares Need Experienced, Reputable Legal Guidance

Attorneys with more than 27 years of combined experience

Not all injuries are equal. While any injury can seriously impact the life of the victim, sometimes an injury is so debilitating that it requires a unique classification within personal injury law. Such injuries are called “catastrophic injuries.” If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, contact the knowledgeable lawyers at Largey Law as soon as possible. Your future and livelihood may depend on it.

What defines a catastrophic injury?

Catastrophic injuries earn their classification not from the cause of the injury, but from the results. A catastrophic injury is so severe that it can result in:

• Permanent disability
• Shortened life expectancy
• Long-term medical problems, such as loss of a bodily function
• Long-term medical bills and daily medical care lasting a lifetime
• Permanent structural changes in home and vehicles to suit the needs of the injured person

Recovery from and care for a catastrophic injury can be exceptionally complex, requiring hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation and full-time nursing care. As a result, catastrophic injuries can often be more draining on the family of the victim than on the victim.

Costs and compensation related to catastrophic injuries

The long-term, complicated nature of treating a catastrophic injury translates into a serious financial burden on the victim and his or her family. If your family member has been the victim of a catastrophic injury, you need to retain an experienced personal injury lawyer, since legal compensation may be your only option for affording the required medical care.

Types of compensation that may be recoverable in a catastrophic injury claim include:

Sometimes, victims may seek compensation for non-monetary damages like pain and suffering. Such damages prove harder to equate to dollar amounts because they tend to be based on the emotional and psychological damage done to the victim and his or her family. Loss of companionship or other changes wrought by the injury on family relationships may also be considered, as can punitive awards meant to punish the negligent party. The circumstances of the claim itself, for example whether it is pursued as part of an auto accident, premises liability or medical malpractice claim, can further influence the process.
