Questions & Answers

Catastrophic Injuries FAQ

Catastrophic injuries are those that result in permanent disability or significantly alter your ability to work and live independently. Common examples include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, and injuries causing permanent paralysis or blindness.
We work with life care planners, vocational economists, and medical experts to project all future costs: lifetime medical care, home modifications, assistive technology, attendant care, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering. These calculations often extend 40+ years into the future.
Due to the complexity and high value of these cases, they typically take 2–4 years to resolve. We prepare every case for trial, which motivates insurers to offer full settlement value rather than face a jury. We keep you informed at every stage.
The vast majority of cases — even catastrophic injury cases — settle without going to trial. However, our trial-ready preparation is what drives maximum settlements. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case before a Utah jury.
We work with medical providers who will treat you on a medical lien basis — meaning they wait for payment until your case resolves. We also explore health insurance, workers' compensation, and other funding sources to ensure you receive immediate care.
