Baltimore Catastrophic Injury Attorney

Since no two catastrophic injury cases are the same, there is no average value. The most significant difference in each case is the severity of someone’s injuries. Someone with minor injuries might not receive as much compensation as someone with life-changing, severe injuries. Our attorneys will review your recoverable damages to estimate how much your case could be worth. 

Recoverable damages are the amount of money someone owes a victim for injuring them. They could recover both economic and noneconomic damages. 

Economic Damages You Could Recover

Economic damages are verified monetary losses you sustained because of your injury. The damages you could recover include: 

• Medical expenses: Your medical expenses could be sizeable following a catastrophic injury. If you went to the emergency room or had a lengthy hospital stay, you need to include those costs in your claim. You should also add other costs such as medications, medical supplies, assistive devices (e.g., a wheelchair), and the cost of any home healthcare.
• Lost income: If you had to miss work because of the severity of your injuries, you could include the earnings you lost up to the date of the claim. You can do so no matter if you have been out of work the entire time or only missed a few days while you recovered. 
• Lost earning capacity: A catastrophic injury could cause you to be out of work for a long time. If this is the case, you can include lost earning capacity in your claim. Our attorneys work with experts in the economics and medical fields to calculate the value of future earning capacity, such as your salary, benefits, and bonuses. 

Non-Economic Damages You Could Recover

Recoverable damages do not just apply to monetary losses. You can also recover noneconomic damages, which are subjective, intangible losses. For example, after a catastrophic injury, you could recover the following damages: 

• Pain and suffering: You could be compensated for the physical effects your injury caused you. You can include any pain, anguish, discomfort, or inconvenience in your claim. 
• Emotional distress: An incident that causes a catastrophic injury could have been a traumatic experience. You might now suffer from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or sleep disorders. If you have any mental conditions, you could add those damages to your claim. 
• Loss of enjoyment: Many catastrophic injuries could have a considerable impact on your ability to enjoy life in the same capacity you could before. If you cannot participate in activities you used to enjoy before the accident, you could be entitled to receive damages for loss of enjoyment. 

Since noneconomic losses do not have an exact monetary amount associated with them, our attorneys will calculate the value of your noneconomic damages to determine what your claim could be worth.
