Catastrophic Injury

Image There can be no greater challenge in one's life than falling victim to a catastrophic injury or illness.  Injuries are considered catastrophic when they have enormous impact on your life including, but not limited to the following: brain injury, spinal cord injury, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, and neurological disorders. A catastrophic injury or illness very often causes severe disability or death.   

Galante & Bivalacqua has experience dealing with victims who have sustained catastrophic injury. Management of catastrophic injury is complex and requires the expertise of a team of health professionals including physicians, consultants, nurses and, oftentimes, therapists and counselors. Clearly, the long-term needs of someone who has experienced this type of injury far surpass those of individuals with less severe injuries.  If you have suffered a catastrophic injury due to the negligence of another, you have the right to be financially compensated.  Due to your injury, you will likely face a lifetime of expense and quite possibly pain.  It is important to seek damages from the person or persons responsible so that you can maintain your quality of life. 

 Because of the huge financial implications of a catastrophic injury, one of the most important aspects of bringing a personal injury claim is the determination of the value of such a claim. At Galante & Bivalacqua, we evaluate your claim and advise you of an appropriate damage profile.   To do this we look at the long-term implications of your catastrophic injury.  So that you receive just compensation and sufficient resources for the future.

A person whose earning capacity has been substantially impacted and who is likely to need a lifetime of care is best served by an experienced attorney, with specialized knowledge of his or her particular type of injury.
