What is the Value of a Catastrophic Injury Claim?

A catastrophic injury is one that affects someone for the rest of his or her life. Victims of catastrophic injury accidents usually have to adjust many aspects of their life, from where they live to where they work. Catastrophic injury victims often suffer substantial financial burdens in addition to their physical and mental suffering. Under New York laws, there are opportunities for victims of injury accidents to pursue financial compensation for their losses by filing a personal injury claim.
Civil litigation is sometimes the only way a catastrophically injured victim can receive fair compensation for the injuries he or she has suffered. The claimant will have to prove that an accident occurred, he or she suffered a loss in the accident, and that someone else’s negligence caused or contributed to the accident.
The value of a catastrophic injury claim depends on a number of factors. Ideally, a civil lawsuit will cover all of the losses suffered as a result of the accident. Therefore, the extent of the injuries suffered will affect the value of the claim. Injured victims may pursue compensation for financial losses including, but not limited to all past and future medical expenses, and lost wages related to the accident. These losses should be calculated by a medical professional who has knowledge and understanding of the extent of the injuries suffered. An experienced catastrophic injury attorney can help the victim calculate the monetary value of non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
