Catastrophic Injury

When presenting a claim for catastrophic injury to a jury or insurance adjustor, an attorney needs to demonstrate how the accident diminished the victim's life. How does amputation of a leg affect a person's ability to enjoy normal activities? What loss does a family suffer when the wife and mother suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI)? What is a reasonable estimate of lifelong medical and therapeutic expenses associated with paraplegia and other degrees of paralysis?

You need an attorney with experience, a firm with resources

If you have suffered a serious injury, you cannot afford to recover less than your case is worth. Cases involving catastrophic injury are typically complex and expensive and are won through skill, hard work and extensive investments in medical, life-care and economic experts. At Bosco, Bisignano & Mascolo, Esqs. in Staten Island, our personal injury lawyers have a well-documented record of recovering large settlements and verdicts on behalf of clients in New York and New Jersey, a track record that speaks for itself.

Calculating the value of a catastrophic injury

Injuries referred to as "catastrophic" generally result in permanent disability or involve extensive pain and suffering and medical treatments. A case involving severe burns, a head, back, neck or spinal cord injury or amputation of a limb might result in years of painful treatments, therapy and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Paraplegia, quadriplegia or another form of paralysis will, even when a home and workplace have been modified to accommodate a wheelchair, result in lifetime restrictions on mobility. Our attorneys work with life-care experts, accountants and economists to see that our clients recover full and fair compensation for those losses.

Types of cases our attorneys have handled:

When the negligence of another party has resulted in a serious and life-changing injury, such as quadriplegia or brain injury, for an accident victim, justice demands that the responsible party compensate the injured person. It is extremely important to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a serious accident, in order to preserve evidence and build the strongest case possible.
