Verdicts & Settlements in Catastrophic Injury Cases
Given the large, long-term costs a catastrophic injury can produce, affected persons must often take legal action against the responsible party in order to avoid paying the full cost of their injury out of their own pocket. Such cases typically produce much larger verdicts and settlements than other personal injury cases, to the tune of millions of dollars. Verdicts and settlements are calculated based on the current costs of the injury in question, projected future expenses, and all other economic damages.
In catastrophic injury cases that proceed to trial, verdicts may also include what are known as “punitive damages.” These are intended to punish the offending person or entity for their negligence, and they typically spell much larger payouts for plaintiffs.
