Eugene Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries come suddenly and change lives forever. These accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • Paralysis
  • Neurological disorders
  • Electrocution
  • Disfigurement

Many victims of catastrophic injuries suffer from lifelong disabilities which render them unable to earn an income. Apart from the pain and suffering, many find the cost of medical care extremely burdensome, especially in the absence of their regular income.

How to Prove Fault in a Catastrophic Injury Claim

Even if you are familiar with Oregon personal injury law, it’s not advisable to represent yourself in a catastrophic injury claim, as they are quite complex and require a deep understanding of the law.

Our lawyers can help you in the process of proving your claim by:

  • Compiling all the evidence
  • Filing paperwork by the applicable deadlines
  • Gathering testimony from experts

Documentation of your injuries and other damages you’ve suffered is extremely important. You should have the following on file to help bolster your claim:

  • Accident reports
  • Accident scene photos
  • Police record and reports
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Medical bills
  • Medical reports
  • Other damages sustained, such as car repairs needed

Catastrophic Injury Compensation

Often, the medical bills for a catastrophic injury are cost-prohibitive. For this reason alone, it’s important to explore your legal options so you can pursue financial compensation from the at-fault person for your losses and damages.

Damages you may be entitled to include:

  • Past and ongoing/future medical bills
  • Lost current and future wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Household modifications
  • Rehabilitation
  • Vocational training
