What Damages Can You Claim for Catastrophic Injury?
You may have serious tangible and intangible damages due to the incident and your injuries. Some of these damages may last indefinitely. Through a claim or lawsuit, you can demand all your damages, which may include:
- Financial damages, such as expenses for emergency medical services, expenses for rehabilitative services, the cost of a medical device, the cost of a surgery, the cost of any damaged or destroyed property, lost earnings and benefits from work, and/or lost earning potential
- Physical damages, such as pain and suffering, disfigurement, impairment, disability, and/or lost consortium
- Mental/emotional damages, such as emotional distress, anguish, depression, anxiety, and/or lower quality of life
Punitive Damages
Typically, these damages do not apply to personal injury cases, but they can apply when cases involve extreme negligence or malice. A judge may apply punitive damages to a case to punish a party for their actions and to prevent any other incidents.
While punitive damages are rare, we can certainly double-check if it is appropriate to request them in light of your severe injuries.
Wrongful Death Damages
These damages apply to personal injury cases involving tragic loss of life. Wrongful death damages can include:
- Medical bills the victim’s family could not pay
- Funeral expenses and related expenses
- A lower income for the family
- Mental and emotional damages
- The physical damages the deceased loved one experienced
- Loss of spousal and parental love

How Can a Conyers Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Help with My Case?
Your injuries may be keeping you in the hospital or at home. If so, the only things you should have to worry about are your recovery and your family. You should not have to worry about your legal case at all.
Our personal injury law firm can take over your case and all the following tasks:
- Establishing responsibility: Our lawyer can determine who caused your accident and who may be liable for your damages. These may be separate parties, such as a driver and the driver’s employer.
- Building your case: This requires evidence our accident lawyers can gather. For example, traffic camera footage of the incident or your medical treatment bills may serve as evidence in your case. A medical expert’s written statement could also serve as invaluable corroborating evidence.
- Determining what your case may be worth: Your lawyer can attribute monetary values to your intangible damages, like your pain and suffering, which allows us to evaluate your entire case.
- Preparing and presenting your claim or lawsuit: Kaine Law can prepare a lawsuit quickly to meet the filing deadline. After your claim or lawsuit is ready, we can present it to the other party’s insurer and lawyers.
- Proving liability for your damages: To prove the other party’s liability, you must establish their negligence. To do this, our personal injury attorney can show duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.
- Negotiating a settlement: This procedure can be complicated. The other side may argue against the evidence or your damages, but our team can prepare responses to these arguments.
- Taking your case to court: If the other side refuses to offer a fair settlement, Kaine Law’s personal injury attorney can take your case before a judge, hire experts for their testimonies, and fight for a court verdict.
Insurance companies may resist paying a personal injury survivor what they truly deserve, no matter how badly they were injured. Let our personal injury lawyers protect you from these insurance companies in exchange for a contingency fee. In other words, our Conyers catastrophic injury lawyer will charge you no attorney’s fees until you win your case.

How Long After an Accident Can You Sue in Georgia?
Georgia has a statute of limitations applying to catastrophic injury lawsuits and other personal injury lawsuits. According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, a claimant must generally file a lawsuit within two years of an incident. Your lawyer can help you meet this deadline.
What happens if you miss this important time limit? You may have forfeited your right to compensation. However, loopholes and exceptions exist for some claimants, and we can see if they apply to your situation.
It is easier for everyone if you contact us as soon as possible after your accident. This gives us the maximum amount of time to strategize and fight your case.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is an especially serious kind of personal injury. With a catastrophic injury, the brain or spine may be affected, or a body part may be permanently disabled. Such issues are common in serious accidents, like auto accidents, motorcycle crashes, and dog bite incidents.
You may have suffered any of the following types of catastrophic injuries:
- Traumatic brain injury: This kind of injury can leave a victim mentally, behaviorally, and/or physically impaired or disabled. If that happens, the injury can qualify as a catastrophic injury.
- Spine injury: Spine and spinal cord injuries can be catastrophic if they impair a person’s ability to move and be mobile. Sometimes, the impairment can be so severe that it leaves the victim paralyzed.
- Tissue injury: A serious burn, like a third-degree burn, can cause serious pain and scarring.
- Internal damage: Trauma to the abdomen can cause injuries to the organs that can become fatal.
- Amputation: The amputation of an appendage or a limb can leave a person with major physical and emotional damage and lower the survivor’s quality of life.
As you may imagine, only some of the people who suffer a catastrophic injury are able to survive. Whether you experienced such an injury yourself or wish to hire a wrongful death lawyer after your loved one’s passing, Kaine Law wants to support you.
