Arlington, VA Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

A catastrophic injury is one that causes severe, long-lasting, or irreversible physical damage. Such injuries may require long-term medical care or rehabilitation. Even if an injury doesn’t require something like permanent disability, they may still cause irreversible damage to a person’s life. For example, severe burns that result in permanent scars that can affect a person’s self-worth and cause emotional distress.

Any personal injury can result in catastrophic damages, but some common examples include car accidents, slips and falls, construction accidents, medical malpractice, and product liability cases. One of the first steps in any case will be to determine liability. This process means determining if the other party had a duty of care, and if they violated this duty of care. Our attorneys can gather the correct evidence. Besides medical and police reports, we can also gather eyewitness and expert testimonies.

Catastrophic injuries can present a greater level of difficulty than other cases. Since these injuries often mean ongoing costs, any settlement should account for this. Insurance adjusters typically don’t include long-term costs in any initial settlement they offer. However, our team can negotiate and apply legal pressure when necessary to force a more fair and just settlement. Catastrophic injury cases are often settled outside of the courtroom, but we’re well-equipped to handle a trial.
