Defining a Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury is a serious or extreme injury or illness that impacts a victim in a considerable way and requires significant medical treatment.

Why You Need a Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Georgia
Facing these types of serious injuries on your own can be difficult and costly. Though insurance companies may owe you money, they will do anything they can to reduce what they pay. In cases where your losses are so severe that they have long-lasting consequences, you need an attorney who can calculate an accurate estimate of your damages.
When you work with our Georgia catastrophic injury lawyer, you get hands-on support and guidance from a team that knows how to hold those who did this to you responsible. Even more importantly, you pay us nothing for our services upfront, and you only pay us if you win your case. That means there is no risk to you in hiring an attorney to represent you in this manner.
With years of experience, you can expect our attorneys to provide you with exceptional support. We can handle every aspect of the claim and lawsuit for you, providing a wide range of resources along the way. Some of the ways our legal team will work with you and support you in this process include the following:
Gather Evidence in Your Case
In an accident like this, it is critical to have all of the evidence possible to prove who did this to you. With that information and guidance, we can pursue maximum compensation for you. Our team will review the available evidence and use expert witnesses, accident recreation tools, and a wide range of additional resources to gather all available evidence to prove your case.
Determine Your Losses
One of the most complicated components of a catastrophic injury case is estimating the value of your losses, especially if your care is ongoing. With our experience as catastrophic injury attorneys, we can provide you with better insight and ensure we pursue compensation that allows you to get the medical care you need. We also want to ensure you can maintain the quality of life you expect with adequate compensation to do so.
We Build a Strong Case
Insurance companies in these accidents want to reduce the compensation paid as much as possible, and they can use a variety of strategies to do so. With our experience, we will ensure you do not become a victim again. We build a strong legal case that documents your losses, who caused them, and what you should be owed in these cases.
Exceptional Support While You Recover
Our goal is to handle the legal challenges you are facing so that you can focus on your recovery and healing. We talk to and manage the insurance company, and you do not have to feel like you are being abused in the process. Our legal team will work closely with you over the course of your claim and fight for your best interests.
Navigate Comparative Negligence as it Applies to Your Case
A very significant complication of many catastrophic injury cases is comparative negligence, which means that the police and insurance company believe you hold some degree of responsibility for the accident. Our goal is to minimize and eliminate that belief by providing evidence to demonstrate your lack of fault. You can count on us to work carefully to ensure that these claims are fully exhausted.
Handle the Insurance Company’s Claim
Once we have a good idea of what your long-term losses are, our catastrophic injury attorneys in Georgia file your insurance company. We answer all of the questions the insurance company has, support you in the process of providing only the necessary documentation, and protect your right to privacy. Let us negotiate on your behalf.
File a Lawsuit When Needed
If the insurance company is not treating you fairly, we make it our goal to pursue legal action in a court of law to allow a judge and jury to listen to your losses and provide compensation to you. Every case is very different, and while most of our cases are settled without going to court, you can depend on us to fight for your right to compensation if necessary. We are highly experienced trial attorneys.

Why You Should Not Just Settle Your Case
It is common for injured individuals to just want to move on with their lives, and that often leads them to settle their claims too soon. We do not want you to wait, and we will work aggressively but efficiently to ensure your case is not delayed. However, there are several key reasons why you do not want to settle your case too soon:
- You have a lot on the line. With a catastrophic injury, you likely need comprehensive compensation to continue to pay for your long-term medical needs. If you settle too soon, you may not get enough of the funds you need.
- You may not be sure what your losses are just yet. Many people with serious injuries like this are not sure how much they will improve, and if you do not recover, you need a far higher level of compensation than if you do.
- Explore all types of losses you have. In catastrophic injury cases like this, you likely have significant medical bills, but your losses are likely far more than this and could include a significant amount of noneconomic compensation.
When the time comes to settle your claim, you can do so with confidence when you have our catastrophic injury attorneys in Georgia by your side. We know how to make them pay, and we will work extensively to ensure you exhaust all potential options. Expect us to answer all of your questions and guide you throughout the process.
