A catastrophic injury can impact many aspects of your life, including your physical health, financial stability, and future independence. These injuries often have lasting challenges that affect both you and your family. They also require extensive medical care and have prolonged recovery times. If someone else’s negligence caused your severe injuries, a Hartford catastrophic injury lawyer can help you pursue full compensation for your losses.
At Berkowitz Hanna, we understand the challenges associated with severe injury claims. Our injury attorneys have recovered over $400 million in verdicts and settlements for injured clients. We handle complex injury cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, and other permanently disabling conditions.
Because of their complexity, catastrophic injury claims differ from cases involving temporary or less severe harm. Many catastrophic injuries can result in permanent disabilities, chronic pain, or the inability to return to work. In some situations, injured individuals require lifelong medical care and assistance with daily activities.
For severe injury claims, a Hartford attorney can work closely with you to pursue compensation that reflects both your current and future losses, including:
These cases frequently involve substantial insurance claims, which means insurance companies may aggressively dispute liability or minimize the severity of injuries. Our attorneys can gather medical evidence, consult with specialists, and build a comprehensive claim that accurately reflects the long-term impact of your condition.
Strong evidence is crucial in catastrophic injury litigation, as these claims often involve extensive financial damages and disputed liability. Our Hartford lawyers can thoroughly investigate the accident that caused your disabling injury and identify all legally responsible parties.
Evidence in these cases may include:
In some cases, medical or accident reconstruction specialists may be required to testify about how the injury occurred and its long-term effects.
State law governs how courts evaluate personal injury claims. Under Connecticut General Statutes § 52-572h, you may recover damages in certain cases even if you share partial responsibility for the accident. However, insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame in catastrophic injury claims in an effort to minimize their financial liability.
The impact of a catastrophic injury extends beyond immediate medical expenses. You may require future surgeries, adaptive equipment, home modifications, and ongoing therapy. Some individuals may never regain the ability to work or live independently.
Our Hartford attorneys can work with medical, vocational, and financial experts to calculate the full value of damages stemming from your catastrophic injury.
We thoroughly prepare every case and fight for fair compensation. Our attorneys understand that catastrophic injuries affect not only financial security but also personal relationships, emotional well-being, and long-term independence. We will advocate for you at every stage of the legal process and gather evidence to build a strong claim.
