What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Catastrophic Injury Claim?

• Medical Expenses: Catastrophic injuries usually require extensive and ongoing medical treatment. This can include emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and long-term care. You may also need medical equipment or home modifications to accommodate your injury.
• Lost Wages: If a catastrophic injury prevents you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes the income you have already lost and future earnings you might miss out on due to your inability to return to work or perform at the same level as before.
• Pain and Suffering: The physical and emotional pain resulting from a catastrophic injury can be profound. Compensation for pain and suffering reflects the mental anguish and emotional despair caused by your injury. This category of damages seeks to provide financial relief for the significant and ongoing discomfort you experience.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Catastrophic injuries often reduce one's ability to participate in activities one once enjoyed or maintain one's previous lifestyle. Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life addresses the injury's impact on one's personal interests and quality of life.
• Permanent Disability and Impairment: If your injury results in a permanent disability or impairment, you may be qualified to compensation for the long-term consequences. This includes evaluating how the injury affects your ability to perform daily tasks, work capacity, and overall independence.



    



• Emotional Distress: Beyond physical pain, catastrophic injuries can cause significant emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Compensation for emotional distress aims to address the psychological impact of your injury and the effect it has on your mental well-being.
• Loss of Consortium: If a catastrophic injury impacts your relationships with your spouse or family members, you may seek damages for loss of consortium. This compensation addresses the strain placed on personal relationships and the loss of companionship, intimacy, and support.
• Home and Vehicle Modifications: In many cases, individuals with catastrophic injuries require modifications to their homes or vehicles to accommodate their new needs. Compensation can cover the costs of making these necessary adjustments, such as installing ramps, widening doorways, or modifying bathrooms.
• Long-Term Care and Assistance: Depending on the severity of the injury, you may require ongoing care from healthcare professionals, personal caregivers, or nursing homes. Compensation for long-term care considers the extensive costs associated with managing your care needs over time.
