Catastrophic injuries are the worst of all injuries. Victims pay a high physical, mental, and financial price. Their families are not spared either, as family members are often suddenly thrust into the role of full-time caregivers, which can lead to anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. The effects of these kinds of injuries ripple through every part of a person’s life. If your injury accident was caused by the negligent actions of another party, you have the right to seek payment from them for the harm they have caused you.

A catastrophic injury is a specific category of injury. These injuries are the most severe of all and are often permanent and disabling. Types of catastrophic injuries that often result from falls, motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, and other hazardous incidents include:
The anxiety of financial concerns after suffering such serious trauma makes an already difficult situation much harder.

You probably have a lot of questions if you are considering a personal injury claim. Here are answers to some of the most frequent inquiries we receive.
How much money is my case worth?
How much your case is worth depends on several factors. The severity of your injuries, the extent of your damages, the degree of negligence, how many liable parties are named in the claim, the amount of insurance liability coverage, and whether you share any fault will all factor into your case’s value. Our catastrophic injury attorney will work to get you the full amount of compensation possible for your situation.
What damages can I ask for in a catastrophic injury claim?
Damages in these cases may include medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity when you can’t work or your work is limited, pain and suffering, and emotional harm. Catastrophic injuries often have life-long consequences. We will counsel you about claiming both current and future damages.
Will I have to testify in court if I file a claim?
Not necessarily. Our goal is to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurer of the party who caused the accident. If you are not satisfied with the settlement offer, we will counsel you about resolving your claim at trial, where your testimony will typically be expected. But don’t worry, we will prepare you to testify should your case go that far.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In general, there is a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident to file injury lawsuits, as stated in Georgia Code Section 9-3-33. You may be barred from filing if you miss this deadline, which is why you should speak to one of our Roswell catastrophic injury attorneys as soon as possible after your accident.
These are general answers. We will provide guidance specific to your situation when we meet with you.
Sustaining a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or another catastrophic injury is one of the most devastating things a person can experience. When the injury happened because of the negligence of another party, you are within your rights to hold that party financially liable. When The Stoddard Firm represents your case, we will guide you through the steps involved in filing a claim and fiercely represent your interests against the party who caused your injuries.
