Proving Catastrophic Injuries

Insurance companies tend to be very skeptical when reviewing catastrophic injury claims. Though they will conduct a thorough analysis of the nature and severity of the injuries, the company will also be looking for any reason possible to deny the claim. A knowledgeable Escondido catastrophic injury lawyer can help convince insurance companies to look past the following:

Prior injuries
Prior surgeries
Preexisting conditions
Previous car accidents
Previous on-the-job injuries and worker’s compensation claims

Proving catastrophic injury claims often requires extensive medical knowledge and expert testimony. An Escondido catastrophic injury attorney can help individuals gather the medical and legal evidence they need to be successful with their claim.

Damages for Victims

When a person is catastrophically injured, their entire way of life often must change. They may not be able to perform in their old career the way they once could and may not be able to care for their family in the same way. With the help of an Escondido catastrophic injury lawyer, victims can seek the following types of compensation:

Medical bills. This can include the cost of an ambulance, surgeries and even long-term physical therapy bills
Lost wages. If a person missed work and wages because of their injury, a lawyer can help ensure they are compensated for that loss
Lost earning capacity. When a person suffers a catastrophic injury, they often can no longer do their job in the same way. This can lead to unemployment. Compensation may be available in that case
Related psychological conditions. Mental health problems stemming from the injury, like PTSD, can be costly. Get coverage for related psychiatry bills and therapy
Lifetime care. In extreme cases, the victim may need long-term daily care in a nursing home facility. Compensation can help cover such costs

How an Escondido Catastrophic Injury Attorney Can Help

If you or someone you love has been severely or permanently injured because of someone else’s negligence in the state of California, you may be entitled to compensation.

An experienced Escondido catastrophic injury lawyer can help answer any questions you might have about your rights and legal options moving forward. They can also be your best advocate when battling an insurance company who wants to deny coverage. Call today for comprehensive, compassionate legal assistance.
