What Makes Catastrophic Accidents More Complex
A person with serious changes to their health and well-being faces a struggle not just to recover but to receive enough compensation to allow them to navigate the challenges they face ahead.
The future is uncertain, and no amount of money can make it better or easier. However, consider the financial complications that often stem from these more challenging accidents:
- The need for long hospital stays and complex, multiple surgeries
- Long-term, in-facility rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation in your home
- Modifications to your vehicle and home for new limitations and needs
- Ongoing need for medical care, including specialist treatment
- Support for medical complications expected to arise in the future
- Loss of ability to work
- Loss or damage to relationships
- Physical pain develops and becomes chronic
- Loss of quality of life
The list goes on, and through it all, victims must be able to clearly demonstrate their losses to encourage insurance companies to provide fair compensation.
This is not something you can do on your own when facing an uphill battle. Let our attorney be there to guide you instead, and be sure to browse our FAQs to learn more about catastrophic injuries.
