Catastrophic injuries ripple through every facet of injury victims’ lives. These disabling and often permanent injuries affect the injured person physically and emotionally, as well as their family members who may have to become caregivers. Financial distress is not uncommon in families where someone has a catastrophic injury. The costs of medical treatment quickly add up; and if the injured party was a wage-earner, they may never be able to work again. A family member may have to give up their job in order to care for their injured spouse, child, or parent, and may experience anxiety and depression.
We know that the physical, personal, mental, and financial toll in these cases is very high for victims and their families. At The Stoddard Firm, we focus on helping people who have suffered catastrophic injuries. We know that not every accident is someone else’s fault, but if your accident is due to another person’s negligence, you have the right to ask for significant compensation.

Filing a legal claim can feel overwhelming and complex. It’s natural to have questions, and we’re here to provide answers. Below, we address some of the most common questions we receive to help guide you through the process.
The party that caused the accident can be held liable. That could be a driver, an employer, a third party at a worksite, a business owner or other property owner, or a coach responsible for supervising sports activities, for example. Sometimes more than one party can be named in a claim. Our catastrophic injury attorney for Marietta will thoroughly investigate what happened in your case and hold all at-fault parties responsible.
You generally have two years from the date of your injury accident to file, as you can see in Georgia Code Section 9-3-33. If you miss the deadline, you may be out of luck in bringing a claim. It is best to speak with our attorney as soon as possible if you are considering filing so that time does not run out on you.
Types of damages that may be recovered include medical costs, including those you incur in the future, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases of egregious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded. We will help you determine the damages you have sustained to help arrive at a value for your case.
It is hard to say how long a case may take. It can be anywhere from several months to a year or more. Cases that are settled, and the majority do settle, typically take less time. Cases that go to trial take longer.
We hope this information provides some clarity to the general process. Once we speak with you we will provide guidance specific to your case.
