Catastrophic Loss
What is a catastrophic loss case?
Catastrophic loss in personal injury law is different from other personal injury cases due to the severity and long-lasting impact of the injuries involved. While all personal injury cases involve harm caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, catastrophic loss cases typically involve injuries that are more severe and result in significant and permanent physical or cognitive impairment.
Unlike other personal injury cases that may involve relatively minor injuries, catastrophic loss cases often result in life-altering consequences for the victim. These consequences may include the need for ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and assistance with daily activities, as well as a substantial loss of earning capacity.
Given the magnitude of the damages and the long-term implications, catastrophic loss cases often require a higher level of legal expertise and resources.

Furthermore, catastrophic loss cases may involve complex legal and medical issues, requiring expert testimony and evidence to establish liability and quantify the damages. Attorneys handling these cases often collaborate with a network of medical professionals, rehabilitation specialists, economists, and vocational experts to build a strong case on behalf of the injured individual.
