Why These Cases Are Different And Why We’re Equipped To Handle Them
In catastrophic car accident injury cases, much more is at stake. The medical expenses alone can number well into the millions of dollars. Add to that the cost of ongoing rehabilitation, long-term care, and a lifetime of lost wages. You can see why these claims and punitive damages are so significant in these personal injury lawsuits.
Securing a strong outcome requires a painstaking approach. For example, proving the extent of your injuries may require the testimony of specialists and other medical experts. We may also need to establish:
- Who was at fault, and to what degree (if there is a track record of the at-fault party, etc.)
- What amount of lost wages is connected to your accident
- What future expenses you’re likely to incur as a result of your injuries
- What dollar amount is a reasonable estimation of your pain and suffering
As you can see, it’s not easy to translate the countless ramifications of your injury into a single dollar amount. Because our legal team includes an attorney who previously worked for insurance companies, we understand how the other side will value your insurance claim.
