Catastrophic Injury Attorneys in St. Louis

When an Injury Changes Your Life Forever, We Are Here to Help You Find a Way Forward

After an accident, even when you have access to the best medical care possible, sometimes the doctor comes back with bad news. There’s only so much they can do to help a patient recover. If you receive a catastrophic injury—one that will result in a lasting disability—your life and the lives of your loved ones may face big changes. We understand how difficult it can be to face this prospect, especially while you are still trying to recover and come to terms with what has happened.

However, this time is also extremely important when it comes to receiving the compensation you need for your injuries. Insurers try to reach out to accident victims as soon as they can to start the settlement process. The worse your injuries are, the quicker they’ll try to get a “yes” from you, so you don’t have time to look into what the true expenses of your injury will be.

When it comes to catastrophic injuries, damages stretch much further than your current medical bills. Those may be large as well and are of course eligible for inclusion in your claim. Our attorneys can also sit down with you and medical consultants to help determine expenses such as:

• Lost wages
• Decrease in earning potential
• Expenses of future care
• Expenses of procuring/using accommodations
• Loss of quality of life

These are all things you can ask an insurer to pay. In a situation where your injury will affect the rest of your life, maximizing your compensation can allow you to find a way forward without feeling permanently financially pressured. We can help you determine how much you can ask for and negotiate on your behalf instead of accepting an insurance adjuster’s too-low offer.
