Common Questions

Catastrophic Injury FAQ

What counts as a catastrophic injury?
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury with long-term or permanent effects — such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, severe burns, or amputation — that significantly changes a person’s ability to work or live independently.
How much is a catastrophic injury case worth?
Because these injuries often require lifelong care, the losses can be substantial — but every case is different. Value depends on medical costs, lost earning capacity, and the impact on your life. We document all of it; prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What does a catastrophic injury lawyer cost?
We work on a contingency fee — no upfront cost and no fee unless we recover compensation for you. Clients may be responsible for case-related expenses.
How long do I have to file in New York?
New York generally allows three years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims, with shorter deadlines in some cases such as claims against a government entity. Speak with an attorney promptly.
