Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle

Catastrophic injuries can occur in a variety of circumstances. When another party’s negligence is the cause, our team can build a case against them for damages. Types of cases our attorneys have handled include those involving:

What Kind of Compensation Are You Able to Recover After an Accident?

The damages you could include in your compensation claim depend on the specific circumstances of your accident. Our attorneys must carry out a thorough investigation before demanding a settlement or taking your case to court. 

However, some of the most common recoverable damages are:

  • Pain and suffering: This is calculated for the actual damage you suffered, such as emotional damage, mental anguish, psychological trauma, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
  • Medical expenses: This covers visits to the hospital or your doctor, prescription drugs, psychological therapy, rehabilitation, medical equipment, and future medical costs.
  • Loss of income: Catastrophic injuries cause many victims to stop working; thus, they no longer receive a salary. This covers all of your lost income during your recovery and future losses.
  • Property damage: If the accident caused irreparable damage to your property, the number of repairs or replacements might be added to your final compensation.
  • Punitive damages: These damages are awarded when the person responsible for your injuries is believed to deserve more punishment for their negligent actions.
  • Additional expenses: These expenses can be the costs of a funeral and burial for a loved one, and more.

The insurance company may try to settle for much less than what you are eligible for. It is crucial not to accept any settlement they offer without calculating the value of all your damages. For example, if you accept a settlement before you know the full extent of the treatment you need to recover, you could be left with medical debt for the rest of your life. 

When you hire a catastrophic injury lawyer from our firm, we’ll discuss all the ways the accident and your injuries have affected your life. Using this information, we’ll calculate the case value before proceeding with any legal action.

Time Limit to File a Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit in Maryland

There is a statute of limitations limiting the time a victim has to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland. Per Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101, the maximum is three years from the day of the accident. 

The faster you file your injury lawsuit, the better it will be for your case since the evidence will be fresh, making it more difficult for the responsible party to evade justice. Contacting a doctor to review your health status and then hiring a catastrophic personal injury attorney as soon as possible could prevent your case from being dismissed.
