Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic Injury

When you have been in a car accident, the impacts can be life changing. Whether a visible impairment such as quadriplegia or an internal injury such as a traumatic brain injury, these catastrophic injuries impact those who suffer for the rest of their lives.

Every person who is injured in a motor vehicle accident is covered under automobile insurance, with different amounts of benefits depending on the options they choose within their coverage. Depending on your level of injury, there are different types of coverage: minor injuries, non-minor injuries, and catastrophic injuries. Your insurance provider will determine which of these apply to your injury.

If you have suffered an injury and your insurance company is denying you access to catastrophic injury benefits, you need lawyers who are willing to stand up for you and advocate on your behalf. Whether your case is settled independently or goes to court or tribunal, having an experienced legal team by your side can help ensure you get the benefits you are entitled.

A catastrophic impairment determination is usually made by your insurance company, at the recommendation of medical professionals. With multiple ways to define catastrophic impairment, insurance companies may deny your claim if they do not believe your impairment is catastrophic. 

This scenario can be devastating for an individual, but do not lose hope. With an expert personal injury lawyer, you can appeal your insurance provider’s decision. An experienced lawyer will not only be able to help achieve catastrophic determination, but also negotiate appropriate compensation for injuries thanks to their knowledge and understanding of an individual’s future recovery needs, costs, and risks.
