Catastrophic injuries can change an accident victim’s life forever. During this challenging time, an accident victim may be faced with physical, emotional challenges, and struggling to make ends meet if they are no longer able to work. If you suffered a catastrophic injury in an accident in Queens that was caused by the negligence of another, you must take legal action as soon as possible and hold the negligent party accountable. At Parker Waichman LLP, our Queens catastrophic injury lawyers understand the many challenges you’re facing and will go above and beyond to help you recover the compensation you deserve for the harm you have suffered.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a life-changing, severe injury that has a significant and long-lasting impact on the accident victim’s life. Catastrophic injuries often result in major physical, emotional, and financial consequences. These life-altering injuries are characterized by their severity and can require extensive ongoing medical treatment, and may result in a permanent disability and substantial changes in the accident victim’s quality of life.

How Can a Queens Catastrophic Injury Attorney Help?

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:

  • Investigating the accident
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Gathering evidence
  • Consulting with experts
  • Calculating damages
  • Filing a claim
  • Negotiating for a fair settlement

Filing a lawsuit if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer 
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.

Representing You in Court

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.

How Does a Catastrophic Injury Impact the Accident Victim’s Life?

An injury can be categorized as catastrophic if it has a permanent or long-lasting effect on the accident victim. These injuries can make it impossible or challenging for the accident victim to participate in or carry out normal activities. Unfortunately, this means that the accident victim may be unable to live the same life they did before the accident occurred. While the effects of an injury can vary from person to person, catastrophic injuries typically result in long-lasting complications and ongoing medical expenses. 

A catastrophic injury can also cause:

  • Physical disabilities
  • Mental impairment
  • Steep ongoing medical bills
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Loss of employment
  • Financial hardship

If you sustained a catastrophic injury that was caused by the negligent actions or wrongdoing of another, you must pursue compensation. While no amount of compensation can make up for your daily struggles or the significant impact the accident has had on your life, it can help to ease the financial burden, allowing you to focus on continuing to improve and move forward with your life.
