What Actions Our Tuskegee Catastrophic Injury Attorney Takes for Victims
When our Tuskegee team represents a client with catastrophic injuries, we understand that your injuries could have a profound effect on many aspects of your life for years to come. We know we must take an approach to these cases that will secure the compensation necessary for your future care and support.
Insurance companies always want to minimize or deny claims. When it comes to claims based on catastrophic injuries, our Tuskegee catastrophic injury lawyer acts aggressively to counter their tactics and fight for the money you need. This action could involve:
- Relying on Expert Witnesses: Our attorney will call in medical specialists, life care planners, and financial experts to project the full cost of your ongoing and future care and support needs.
- Maximizing Compensation: Since catastrophic injuries result in permanent disabilities, we will pursue damages that consider a wide range of expenses and losses, both today and in the future.
- Pursuing Non-Economic Damages: Beyond medical care and lost income, our lawyer will fight for fair compensation for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other intangible damages due to your catastrophic injuries.
- Going to Trial if Necessary: Catastrophic injury cases often call for larger payouts than typical claims. This could result in the insurer fighting harder to reduce the value of the case. Our lawyer is ready to take your case to trial if necessary to get the money you deserve.
When Should I Contact a Tuskegee Catastrophic Injury Lawyer About My Case?
If you have been in a catastrophic injury accident, your first action should be to seek medical care. Report the accident and see a doctor as soon as possible. Additionally, you need to follow the doctor’s orders completely. You will also need to report the accident to the insurance companies, which is the point when you might want to consider speaking with a lawyer first.
It is often difficult to consider your next steps and what you need to do to manage your insurance claims or legal case in the first days and weeks after your accident. However, hiring our team during this time can make the entire process easier for you. Having legal professionals managing your case offers:
- Peace of mind knowing it is being taken care of
- Protection of your rights
- Someone else dealing with the insurance companies
Under AL Code § 6-2-38, you likely have up to two years from the date your injuries occurred to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party with the Macon County courthouse. This may seem like a long time, but it often takes months to reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) and fully understand your prognosis after a severe injury. It also takes time to build a compelling case and prepare the complaint.
We encourage you to act quickly after your accident and injuries and reach out to our team. If your loved one cannot make the call, connect with our team to discuss your options on their behalf. We can go to work on the case today.
