Valuing a lifetime, not a moment
What makes an injury 'catastrophic' in a legal claim?
A catastrophic injury is one with long-term or permanent effects — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, serious burns, amputation, or injuries requiring lifelong care. Valuing such a claim requires more than current medical bills: it means projecting future medical care, assistive needs, home modifications, and lost earning capacity, often with medical and economic experts. Settling before that full picture is established risks leaving the future uncovered.
What we build into the claim
- Life-care plans and future medical projections
- Lost earning capacity and vocational impact

Frequently asked questions
- Do I pay a fee if there is no recovery?
- In appropriate cases these matters are handled on a contingent fee: the attorney fee is a percentage of any recovery, and no attorney fee is charged if there is no recovery. Case expenses are separate and are addressed in a written fee agreement.
- Why not settle a serious injury quickly?
- Because future care and lost earning capacity may far exceed current bills. Settling before the full picture is known can leave the future uncovered.
