Arizona Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Catastrophic injuries can suddenly and drastically alter victims’ lives, and the lives of those entrusted with their care in the aftermath of the injury. Motor vehicle collisions, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals, and accidents at sporting events or recreational activities can cause severe and lasting bodily damage that permanently impairs function, decreases quality of life, and impacts earning capacity.

Individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the negligence of others are entitled to certain legal protections under Arizona law, including eligibility for compensation for medical expenses, long-term healthcare costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Catastrophic Injury Settlement & Compensation

Personal injury lawsuits seek to determine what the patient and family members have truly lost as a result of the injury. Injured patients and family members may receive monetary compensation for both economic, measurable damages like medical bills and treatment costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

A patient or family’s recovery in a catastrophic injury case can include compensation for damages resulting from:

• Physical Injuries
  Treatment costs, and costs of subsequent short-term, long-term, or in-home injury care (past and future medical treatment costs)
• Financial Losses
  Lost wages, lost employee medical and other benefits, and lost earning capacity
• Loss of Quality of Life
  Inability to engage in activities once previously enjoyed
• Loss of Consortium
  Compensation for damages suffered by the spouse and family members of the injured person
