What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are injuries that result in permanent or long-lasting functional disability and an adverse change in lifestyle. They are typically physical injuries but may include mental, emotional, and/or cognitive injuries as well.

A person who has suffered a catastrophic injury requires emergency medical care and typically faces surgery and by a lengthy recovery that includes physical, occupational, and/or vocational therapy. Catastrophic injuries often require ongoing medical care after hospitalization and the use of prosthetics or adaptive equipment. Victims of a catastrophic injury may require around-the-clock assistance or nursing care and may be confined to nursing homes.

Catastrophic injury typically results in the loss of the ability to work for a living. In many cases, catastrophic injuries lead to premature death.

A catastrophic injury is devastating and prohibitively expensive in most cases. When they occur because of someone else’s negligence, New York law and any sense of justice says the at-fault party can be made to compensate the injured party. At The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., we work to make sure catastrophic injury victims receive the full compensation they are due.

Why Choose The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., to Help You with Your Catastrophic Injury Case?

At The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., we are committed to recovering full compensation for people who have suffered catastrophic injuries in serious car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, and in other cases of negligence, recklessness, or criminality.

Our Floral Park, Queens-based personal injury law firm takes an aggressive approach to calculating our clients’ losses and making demands for damages from insurance companies. Our attorneys back up our clients’ claims with extensive medical documentation and expert opinion, and we are prepared to fight for what’s right.

Most of the compensation sought in a catastrophic injury case is for medical expenses. The expense of saving a catastrophic injury victim’s life is only the start. Proper compensation for medical expenses in a catastrophic injury case typically includes the cost of ongoing needs.

To calculate the compensation required by a disabled client, we consult rehabilitation professionals to develop a life care plan. This is a detailed report of the current and future needs of an individual with catastrophic injury similar to our client’s and their costs.

A life care plan provides yearly costs for:

• Medical care, including routine testing, treatment, counseling
• Medications and consumable medical supplies
• Medical equipment
• Therapy and anticipated medical treatment (e.g., surgery, catheterization, etc.)
• Adaptive equipment and aids for independent functioning
• Facility or home care
• Transportation
• Home renovations/furnishings (e.g., to accommodate wheelchair, hospital bed, etc.)

In addition, we will assess your wages from employment prior to the accident to determine your lost income if you are unable to return to work. This accounting will include the value of current and deferred fringe benefits and the value of reasonably anticipated raises and promotions.

At The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., our lawyers will investigate to identify all parties responsible for your accident and injuries and press every possible claim on your behalf. We will present our evidence of liability and demands for compensation to insurers who have extended coverage to parties who injured you and negotiate aggressively for every dime of compensation you are due.

Most catastrophic injury claims are settled through negotiations, and we will present every settlement offer to you with our assessment of it. If we cannot obtain a settlement offer acceptable to you, we can file a catastrophic injury lawsuit in your name and fight for a fair verdict in court.

Further, we will not charge any attorney fees unless and until your case is resolved. You pay nothing upfront or out of pocket; instead, fees come as an agreed-upon percentage of the compensation we recover for you.

Types of Damages Available After a Catastrophic Injury

We can calculate and demand full compensation for your:

• Medical expenses since the accident
• Projected medical expenses and long-term care costs
• Personal care and/or in-home health care costs
• Lost wages since the accident
• Projected lost income
• Physical pain and suffering
• Disabilities and permanent impairments
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional issues related to the accident or your injuries
• Inconvenience, loss of quality of life, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium
• Property damage, such as to a car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc., in the accident

To determine noneconomic or “pain and suffering” damages, insurance companies and attorneys often choose a multiplier from 1 to 5 and multiply it by the total of economic losses (defined/projected costs). The multiplier used is based on severity of injuries and permanence of impairments.

If you led a particularly active life before your injury or lost the ability to pursue a certain avocation, statements from you, friends and family about the life that was taken away from you may also explain and support the noneconomic damages you are owed.
