    What Constitutes a “Catastrophic” Injury?

    Any injury that results in lasting or permanent disfigurement, impairment, or disability is generally considered a catastrophic injury. The Florida catastrophic injury lawyers at Rosenberg & Rosenberg can assist you with a personal injury claim or lawsuit involving:

    Not all catastrophic injuries are caused by negligence, but too many of them involve reckless drivers, poor equipment maintenance, inattentive medical professionals, or careless property owners. The insurance companies that represent these parties may attempt to hinder your compensation claim.

    The personal injury attorneys at our firm can protect you and your family by taking timely and appropriate legal action, including:

    • Assisting you in Spanish or Creole as we explain your rights and assist you in making legal decisions
    • Handling all communication with other parties, including insurance companies
    • Helping you decide whether to accept a settlement offer or keep negotiating
    • Representing you in the courtroom, if seeking a settlement is not an option for any reason

    Call Rosenberg & Rosenberg today to get started with a confidential, no-obligation consultation.

    What Is the Maximum Compensation You Can Get for Catastrophic Injuries?

    As a general rule, our Florida law firm can pursue, without limitation, damages for everything you have lost and everything you will likely lose over your lifetime because of this accident. We work hard to help our clients recover damages such as:

    • Medical treatment and diagnosis testing
    • Cost of caregiver or living assistance
    • Lost wages, job benefits, and earning capacity
    • Lost job opportunities
    • Property damage
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress
    • Loss of enjoyment of life
    • Permanent intellectual or physical disability
    • Severe scarring

    In some cases, however, Florida law may impose a cap on how much compensation you can recover. For example, if your injury is the result of a doctor’s negligence, our Florida medical malpractice lawyers can ask for a maximum of $500,000 in non-economic (physical and emotional) damages. That is the limit set by Florida Statutes § 766.118.

    Our legal team has over 50 years of experience, so we know how to pursue fair compensation for our clients while working within the limits and regulations set by state law.

    Why File a Catastrophic Injury Claim?

    Catastrophic injuries have ongoing physical and financial consequences for the victim:

    • Compound fractures can take months to heal and may result in lasting weakness and chronic pain.
    • Severe burns can require extensive surgery and leave permanent scars that reduce the victim’s self-esteem and range of motion.
    • Brain injuries can cause memory loss or a vegetative state.
    • Spinal cord injuries can result in permanent paralysis.

    All of these may require ongoing expensive medical treatment. This, in addition to the many other losses associated with your injury, can make it very hard for your family to make ends meet without financial support from the at-fault party.

    You have suffered enough. Let Rosenberg & Rosenberg step in to advocate for the money you deserve.

    How Much Do Accident Injury Lawyers Cost?

    We charge nothing up front. Our Florida attorneys work for what is called a contingency fee—in other words, a percentage of the compensation you receive. If we do not win damages for you, then you do not owe us any attorneys’ fees.

    This fee structure makes our services more accessible to those who cannot work or who have built up many injury-related expenses.
