Catastrophic Injuries Warrant Significant Compensation

Unlike other injuries, catastrophic injuries change the very fabric of a victim’s life. They often result in disabilities that require life-long medical care. Victims may need assistance with daily tasks, and they may never return to their careers.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Loss of limbs
• Severe burns
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Loss of hearing or blindness
• Multiple bone fractures

These injuries take a huge toll on family finances. You may deserve compensation for a variety of losses that you may not even expect. Our catastrophic injury lawyers in Brooklyn can make sure you seek fair compensation by accurately assessing your future expenses.

Morelli Law Firm has recovered more than $1 billion for our previous clients. Call us today, and we can tell you how we can help you recover compensation.

Examples of Damages in Catastrophic Injury Cases

Morelli Law Firm can seek both economic and non-economic damages. Our goal is always to maximize your compensation so that you are not left paying for someone else’s negligence.

Take a look at the current and future accident-related expenses we can pursue.

Economic Damages

Economic damages refer to any financial loss you incur due to your catastrophic injuries. We can use your medical bills, your physician’s prognosis, and expert medical testimony to determine how much it will cost to treat your injuries going forward.

Economic losses can include:

• Current medical expenses, like emergency room care, diagnostic testing, surgery, and medication
• Ongoing medical expenses, like physical therapy, medical devices, and nursing aids
• Home modifications
• Property damage
• Lost income, including benefits and missed bonuses
• Reduced earning capacity

We can also use your wage statements as evidence when calculating your losses.

Non-economic Damages

Our Brooklyn attorneys will demonstrate how your catastrophic injuries affect your life and cause non-financial losses. For example, we can seek awards for:

• Physical pain
• Emotional turmoil
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of quality of life

We can assign a monetary value to these non-economic losses with a couple of different methods.

Our Brooklyn Law Firm Can Help Your Family Seek Justice for Wrongful Death

Your family may have lost a loved one to a catastrophic injury. You deserve compassionate legal care so that you can grieve in peace and honor their memory. Our Brooklyn wrongful death lawyers can handle the legal process and fight for justice.

We can also seek compensation for your relative’s end-of-life care, funeral expenses, and the income they contributed to the household. It can be difficult to cope emotionally and financially after such a tragedy. We can advocate for your best interests.

Legal Deadlines May Apply to Your Catastrophic Injury Case

We may begin seeking financial recovery through an insurance claim, but it’s not uncommon for catastrophic injury cases to result in lawsuits. Either way, our legal team will handle the entire process for you.

If you do take legal action, you will need to file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations. If you are filing a personal injury lawsuit, CVP §214(5) generally allows you three years. Under EPT §5-4.1, you have even less time—typically two years from your loved one’s passing—to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Our catastrophic injury attorneys in Brooklyn can meet these deadlines and work to resolve your case as soon as possible. Still, your case begins with you reaching out to us. We can start working immediately.
