What is a Catastrophic Injury?
While some injuries are minor and relatively easy to recover from, others can be serious and long-term – even permanent. These injuries are known as catastrophic injuries and can result in permanent disability and impair a person’s functional abilities, from communication to being able to work.
Common catastrophic injuries include:
- Burns
- Spinal cord and neck injuries including paralysis
- Amputations
- Head and brain injuries
These injuries tend to require extensive medical treatment that add up to tens of thousands of dollars. For example, someone who is paralyzed from the waist down after an accident will require medical equipment ranging from a wheelchair to vehicle and house ramps, as well as physical therapy. Many individuals and families aren’t prepared to have their lives changed drastically and don’t have the financial means to pay for this kind of care.
Have you recently been injured in a auto or work related accident? Veritas works hard to secure workers compensation benefits and processing no-fault claims to get your medical expenses covered. In most cases, victims who go straight to their insurer will not get the full amount they are owed.
With our vast experience in the insurance field, Veritas knows exactly how insurance companies think, giving us the experience to fight those low-ball offers. We will protect you from insurance companies that want to minimize the severity of the accident in order to pay less.
Who is Liable in an Accident?
Though some accidents aren’t anyone’s fault, many are caused by negligence or carelessness. Many individuals fail to realize that they have a duty to provide for the safety of others on the road, on their property, around their dogs, and more. When people fail to uphold this duty of care, they can be held liable for any damages that occur. Our team has decades of experience holding these parties responsible and ensuring that they don’t evade liability.

How Much Time Do I Have to File an Auto Accident Lawsuit?In most cases, you have around three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. The deadline can be prolonged if you discovered the injury later. If you are planning to sue a government establishment, you may be required to file a claim within a few months after the accident.

If the Accident Was Somewhat My Fault, Can I Still Win My Case?Yes. However, you may not win the maximum possible settlement amount.

Keep in mind that the court determines fault.
