People get injured in different accidents every day. With treatment, most of them can go back to their normal way of life. Unfortunately, some are not as lucky especially when a catastrophic injury is involved.
If you suffered similar harm, you change from a life of being independent to one that is all about managing pain, managing rehabilitation, managing visits to your doctor, managing bills, and more. If someone’s negligence contributed to the harm you suffered, our Fresno catastrophic injury lawyers are committed to holding them responsible.
Understanding what injuries are defined as catastrophic is crucial when determining whether to sue another party for the harm caused. Generally speaking, a catastrophic injury is any type of bodily harm that is not only severe but also largely permanent. In many cases, such injuries prevent injured persons from gaining any meaningful work as they previously did.
Catastrophic injuries vary depending on many factors. Each case is thus unique from another and must be treated as such even when filing an injury case. Our Fresno catastrophic injury attorneys have decades of cumulative legal experience handling personal injury cases involving:
Besides causing permanent impairment or loss of body functioning, some catastrophic injuries come with a high risk of death. In case your loved one succumbs to such injuries, you may be eligible for compensation by filing a wrongful death claim with the help of our compassionate lawyers. They will help prove causation as it applies in your case and fight for maximum damages on your behalf.
If someone else is responsible for your injuries or the loss of a loved one, you may qualify to bring a claim forward against them. However, you must meet various requirements as they pertain to personal injury laws. For instance, your case must be based on negligence, in that:
These elements of negligence must be effectively proven with the preponderance of the evidence before you can recover any damages. To achieve this, you need to prepare the necessary legal paperwork, recover evidence, gather eyewitness testimonials, and equally engage experts from different fields. Additionally, you must also prove that the other party was 51% or more at fault for the accident. Doing all these on your own at a time when you need bed rest and a follow-up with treatment may not be possible. For this reason, you need an ally in the form of a skilled Fresno catastrophic injury attorney you can trust to spearhead the legal process on your behalf.
Of all the questions our Fresno catastrophic injury attorneys receive, this is among the most common. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer to how much you can receive unless we look at the facts about your case. That said, there are critical factors that can help paint a picture of how much you should expect. They are liability and damages.
If you were partially to blame for your injuries, your claim is reduced by your percentage of the fault as long as it’s 49% or below. In terms of damages, the more your losses are, the higher your compensation is likely to be. But simply put, your claim should take into account damages such as:
