Catastrophic Injury

Indiana Catastrophic Injury Law Firm

Life Care Plans - Insurance Litigation

Some victims of a car accident, a motorcycle crash or other serious accident recover in a few weeks or a few months. But many victims never recover. They need medical help for years or a lifetime. And they need legal help.

If a family member is permanently or profoundly disabled from an accident, contact Indiana catastrophic injury lawyer Randy Sevenish. Based in Indianapolis, Sevenish Law Firm of Indianapolis handles personal injury claims statewide.

Strong Advocates for Serious Injuries
Life changes forever for victims of a catastrophic injury. They may be unable to work again, or enjoy favorite activities. Medical expenses add to the burden, and recovery is long and hard. Families also suffer. Sevenish Law Firm provides compassionate legal counsel to recover damages for all types of major injury:

Traumatic brain injury

• Quadriplegia / paraplegia
• Multiple broken bones
• Internal organ damage
• Amputation / Loss of limb
• Eye injury / vision loss
• Third-degree burns
• Spinal cord injury / broken back

Compensation in Catastrophic Injury Cases

In a negotiated settlement or jury verdict, victims can recover damages for:

• Lost wages and replacement of projected future earnings
• Medical bills and all future medical care relating to the injury
• Physical pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life / loss of consortium
• Punitive damages (in extreme negligence cases)

Preparing a personal injury claim for serious injury involves three main concerns: liability, insurance, and life care planning. Sevenish Law Firm is committed to full monetary damages to cover the long-term effects.

Liability
Early investigation improves the chance of maximum recovery. The settlement or trial may be a year or several years after the fact of the motorcycle accident, auto accident or other personal injury. Sometimes a serious automobile injury later becomes a fatal car accident.

Mr. Sevenish, a member of the staff, or a private investigator will visit the scene of the accident to get witness statements and photographic or video documentation. One never knows what details will be important later, but evidence is soon cleared away. We examine police reports and may hire an accident reconstruction expert to show how the other driver was at fault.

Insurance
Catastrophic injuries can cost hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in medical care. Unfortunately, many drivers (including the victim), have inadequate coverage to fully cover the damages. For instance, if the other driver has no insurance and no assets, you cannot recover from them. And if your purchased only $100,000 in Uninsured Motorist coverage, your own insurer will not pay more. Sevenish Law Firm pursues all avenues of compensation, including any third parties that contributed fault (e.g., an automaker, a trucking company).

Life Care Plans
Your attorney, physicians, economists and other experts will determine:

• a prognosis for recovery
• the likely costs of future surgery and care
• additional costs such as home care or medical equipment
• your anticipated earnings if you had not been injured

Sevenish Law Firm also documents the recovery process, often in the form of a video, to show an insurance adjuster or jury how life is now different and difficult, and to convey the permanent loss in every aspect of the victim's life.
