Louisiana Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Catastrophic injuries are those which leave a person with permanent disabilities that can have a long-term effect on their quality of life. When someone is injured in this manner, it also affects their family significantly. Back injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, burns, scarring, amputations, or paraplegia can be classified as catastrophic injuries based on the severity. These injuries may be sustained in automobile accidents, construction accidents, medical malpractice, or due to the use of defective equipment.

If you have suffered any catastrophic injuries due to negligence or fault, you can pursue legal options against the person or organization responsible for it. A qualified Louisiana personal injury attorney will be able to help you understand the available options and make an informed decision. The effects of some such injuries do not manifest until much later. For example, a person who has suffered extensive burn injuries and scarring may have to undergo reconstructive surgery a long time after the accident.

Legal Aspects After a Louisiana Catastrophic Injury

Even if the catastrophic injuries are caused unintentionally, liability can be proved and damages sought. Negligence and carelessness are two different things and the law views the latter with even more severity. A third party may be held responsible for the accident if they failed to do something that was expected of them under the law which then brought about the accident.

In the event of catastrophic injuries, the insurance provider is expected to cover your losses and pay you the coverage you are entitled to. But often the insurance companies try to avoid paying up and come up with various reasons to not shell out any money. This is a breach of contract and they will have to provide you with an explanation of why the claim was denied. If you have been hurt and you have been keeping up with your insurance premiums then you are entitled to the assured compensation. Your lawyer can fight the insurance company for you and get you the compensation you are entitled to.

Damages and Compensation

Catastrophic injuries are life-changing and can involve extensive medical costs. Besides the medical expenses involved, damages can be claimed for the loss of quality of life, loss of earnings, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering endured as a result of the accident. A long-term compensation settlement will have to be calculated and for this your lawyer may consult medical experts, economic analysts, and life care planners.

Catastrophic injuries can impact upon the central nervous system and also lead to neurological disorders. In such instances, the victim will need assistance to perform even the most basic of daily chores and this can be a very traumatic experience. The costs of full-time assistance for a lifetime will have to figure in any compensation package that is agreed upon. In some cases, enough physical therapy and rehabilitation may help the individual regain a certain portion of their earlier lifestyle. Here, the costs of nurses, therapists, consultants, and counselors will also figure prominently and need to be proportionately reflected in the compensation package.
