Dealing with the aftermath of an accident that resulted in a catastrophic injury can be overwhelming. You may not know where to turn or how to pursue compensation that can cover the cost of your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. A catastrophic injury lawyer can help you fight for your right to fair compensation and will hold the negligent party financially responsible for the harm you have suffered.
When you work with a member of the legal team at Parker Waichman LLP, they can help during this difficult time by:
A catastrophic injury attorney on our legal team will carefully evaluate your case and will conduct an in-depth investigation that will uncover the truth.
They will also handle settlement negotiations, preventing the insurance company from contacting you and pressuring you into accepting a settlement that’s lower than what you deserve. If the settlement negotiations are not successful, your attorney can meet with you to discuss your other legal options. If your attorney believes you will stand a better chance of recovering fair compensation in court, they will advise you to proceed with a lawsuit.
At Parker Waichman LLP, our trial-tested attorneys will get to work immediately, preparing your case for court. During this time, they will continue to try to negotiate with the insurance company. However, if the insurance company continues to fail to make a reasonable settlement offer, your attorney will be prepared to fight for you in court.

Your attorney will carefully review your case and calculate your damages to ensure you pursue every penny of compensation you’re entitled to.
How long it takes to resolve your case can depend on many factors, such as the extent of your injuries, how willing the other party is to negotiate, the facts of your case, and more. This type of injury case can be very complex, as the recovery time can last for months.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book.
