How Our Attorneys Can Help
When you experience a catastrophic injury, the most important thing is getting the treatment you need. You shouldn’t have to worry about how you’ll pay for medical appointments, procedures, and physical therapy. If someone else caused your injury, they are responsible for your costs.
That often means you’ll need to file a claim with their insurance company, or possibly sue in civil court. On top of your medical worries, you’ll need to figure out the legal side as well. Our catastrophic injury attorneys in Miami can take that burden off your shoulders.
It costs you nothing to tell us about your accident during your initial consultation. Then, if we agree to work together, there are no upfront costs when we start your case. You only pay a percentage of your award once we recover money for you. If we don’t, you owe nothing.

Investigating Your Accident
One of our most important jobs is to investigate the accident that led to your catastrophic injury so we fully understand how it happened and who was involved. The insurance company will investigate as well, but we’ll conduct our own independent research.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident and injury, we may refer to police reports, witness statements, video footage, medical notes, and other evidence. We could bring in safety experts to offer opinions on how the accident may have been avoided.
The end goal of our investigation is to identify all liable parties that played a role in your injury, and collect strong evidence that proves their actions directly led to your injuries and damages. From there, we can begin the process of recovering your compensation.
Determining Your Compensation
Catastrophic injury cases often lead to large settlements and awards, sometimes in the millions of dollars. However, every case is different. Our Miami catastrophic injury lawyers will determine how much your personal injury claim is worth. We’ll consider things like:
- Your medical expenses, such as emergency care, doctor appointments, prescription medications, and specialist visits.
- Future medical care costs you expect to incur, like surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term treatments.
- Lost wages and other benefits you missed because you could not work
- Out–of–pocket expenses like rideshares, childcare, and housekeeping
- The costs associated with modifying your home and making it accessible
In many catastrophic injury cases, we can recover non–economic damages such as loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and scarring and disfigurement. While these don’t have an associated monetary value, they are still significant.
Managing Your Claim
Once we know who is liable for your injuries, we’ll file your claim with the appropriate insurance providers. We’ll handle the paperwork and ensure you meet deadlines, including the statute of limitations for personal injury cases (Florida Statute § 95.11).
Insurers may try to use questionable tactics to reduce your payment, like offering lowball settlements or twisting your words to make it seem like you are responsible. We know their playbook and how to counter it. We’ll deal with them; you can focus on your recovery.
Insurance companies are often willing to settle catastrophic injury cases out of court. If we can negotiate for a fair settlement, we can save you from the stress of a civil trial. If the insurer refuses to make a good settlement offer, we’ll move on to the next level and fight for you in court.
