WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER GOING TO TRIAL? Usually, it’s best to settle without going to court, but there are a few instances when heading to trial is the best option. Whether it’s to benefit the plaintiff or defendant, some reasons why personal injury cases go to court include: • An insurance company may insist on going to court to prevent future cases from being established. • If the defendant or plaintiff knows they have the evidence to win the case, they may refuse to settle to receive a better judgment in the courtroom. • If the settlement is too low to cover damages and medical expenses, a victim should take their case to court. IF YOU DO, THERE’S NO NEED TO WORRY. No personal injury cases are the same. It’s in your best interest to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you decide whether or not your case should have a trial. Our team is ready to fight by your side every step of the way, even in the courtroom. If you want to learn more about the possibility of heading to court, call us at (915) 584-8777 .

The term “catastrophic” can hold a variety of meanings to different people. However, in legal terms, a catastrophic injury is a severe injury that can change a person’s life. Whether lifelong or short-term, catastrophic injuries can lead to expensive medical bills, at-home care, lost wages, permanent disability, and emotional damage. If a person endures a catastrophic injury due to the negligence of another person or company, they are more than justified to pursue a legal case. TYPES OF CATASTROPHIC INJURIES Usually, catastrophic injuries can fall into three types: physical, spinal cord, or cognitive. While there are countless forms of catastrophic injuries, some examples may include the following: • Physical injuries: Burns, fractures, amputation, tissue damage, deformity, mesothelioma, other cancers, and more • Spinal cord injuries: Injury to the spinal cord can result in paralysis, other mobility issues, and chronic pain. • Cognitive injuries: Due to brain damage, these injuries may lead to speaking issues, blindness, memory loss, seizures, and much more.

WHO’S AT FAULT? Catastrophic injuries can occur due to multiple causes. These accidents can often include car/truck accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, falls, and product defects. What results from any of these accidents are severe physical and emotional damage. A person has every right to file a lawsuit against the individual or company at fault for their catastrophic injury. Compensation should cover not just their extensive medical care and lost wages but also the emotional turmoil that came with the reduced quality of life. Due to the severity of these injuries, catastrophic injury cases often see higher compensation than other personal injury claims.
