Who Will be Held Liable, and in What Amount?
A truck collision or anesthesiology disaster may results in catastrophic injury including the following:
- Quadriplegia
- Paraplegia
- Irreversible brain damage
In such cases, there is usually little doubt that the plaintiff will receive a substantial settlement. But serious questions remain as to precisely who will be held liable, and in what amount.
Evaluation of Total Losses
Given that the most severe injuries usually require a sequence of corrective surgical procedures over a period of many months or several years — with no guarantee of full recovery — it is essential that any acceptable settlement make generous allowance for costs and losses including:
- Future medical treatment
- Hospitalization
- Physical therapy
- Lost future income
- Occupational retraining or educational expenses
- Home care
These and other expenses must also be calculated into a settlement demand or jury presentation. All expenses and losses related to catastrophic injuries must be fully documented in order to have any value as proof in settlement negotiations or before a jury.
