Cheatham County Catastrophic Injury Attorney

Fighting for Victims in Robertson County, Dickson County, & Montgomery County

An accident that results in a catastrophic injury is one of the most severe and life-altering events that a person can experience. A catastrophic injury leaves the victim with a long-term or permanent disability that makes it difficult to live normally. They are typically caused by sudden, intense trauma, such as a major trucking collision or a motorcycle accident. However, they can also occur because of medical malpractice.

Whatever their cause, catastrophic injuries can be very costly to treat and may require extensive medical care over an extended period. If another person is responsible for your injuries, it may be possible to receive a settlement to cover your medical costs, as well as other economic and non-economic damages.

What may have been a mistake or poor decision on someone else’s part is now something that you and your family have to live with forever. Let Rhonda R. Crabtree help you hold the other party accountable for their negligence. Legal action can’t undo what’s been done, but it can make it easier to adjust to your new life and help prevent what happened to you from happening to anyone else.

You don’t have to navigate the legal process alone. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation with our catastrophic injury attorney in Cheatham County.

Understanding Catastrophic Injury Settlements

You may have heard of large, sometimes multimillion-dollar, settlements that people receive when they suffer major accidental injuries. While not everyone receives these settlements, we do want to tell you how personal injury lawyers, their clients, and courts come to these numbers.

Immediate Expenses

The first component is the immediate medical costs and property damage. These are the easiest to measure. Catastrophic injuries, which can include anything from amputations to paralysis and traumatic brain injuries, may require dozens of doctor’s visits, reparative procedures, reconstructive surgeries, and physical rehabilitation. In some cases, especially when injuries happen due to motor vehicle collisions, victims might also need to repair or, more likely, replace their vehicles. Settlements should cover all of this.

Future Medical Costs

Fair and just settlements should also account for future medical expenses. Sometimes rehabilitation or physical therapy can last years. In the very worst cases, the injured party may require continual or round-the-clock medical attention from nurses or family members. On top of the medical care for their physical injuries, victims may require therapy or psychiatric counseling to help them cope with post-traumatic stress or emotional suffering. These expenses add up fast.

Non-Economic Damages

There are some things that are more difficult to measure — pain and suffering, the loss of a job, emotional distress, punitive damages, and loss of life enjoyment. For example, perhaps you suffered an injury that made you unable to complete your normal job duties. You can calculate wages that you’ve already lost, but you might also have to change jobs completely. This can result in lower income and earning potential. The defense might try to claim that you can do another job that pays similar or even higher salaries, but it should be considered that a new job is not the one you chose.
