Catastrophic Injury

What is a catastrophic injury?

Richard Seidel often represents victims of catastrophic injuries.  A catastrophic injury is an extremely grave injury that negatively impacts a person’s life either permanently or for a significant amount of time.  It involves a loss of a bodily function or system.  Often, a great deal of medical and/or hospital care is needed to treat this kind of injury.  These injuries typically occur very suddenly and without warning.  Examples of catastrophic injuries include, but are not limited to—

A person who suffers this type of injury will need to have access to a variety of healthcare professionals in order to treat and manage the condition.  Often, the consequences of the injury will last for several years or even a lifetime.

How Richard Seidel can help you

If you or a loved one suffered a catastrophic injury, you should seek counsel as soon as possible.  You may be entitled to financial compensation for—

• Medical expenses
• Mental anguish
• Loss of current and future income
• Pain and suffering

It is very important to receive the right kind of settlement, as settling for too little compensation may not give you and your family enough money to cover medical expenses for the appropriate amount of time.  Richard Seidel helps families and victims of catastrophic injuries figure out just how much compensation to seek. 

This kind of injury may take several months or even years to litigate.  Most likely, we will call upon our team of experts to help with your case.  They communicate to the judge just how you became injured and how severe your injuries are.  For example, if you were injured in an automobile accident as a result of defective brakes, we would have an expert mechanic explain how normal brakes work, how the automobile’s brakes were defective, and how the defective brakes contributed to the injury.  We would also offer testimony by safety engineers, accident reconstructionists, and medical professionals.
