We Have Helped the Victims Of Various Catastrophic Injuries

All injuries caused by the negligence and carelessness of others have the potential to change your life. The most catastrophic injuries that we have seen have turned people’s lives upside down for years, and in many cases leave a permanent impact. A serious bodily injury can catch you completely off guard, and you may have been doing nothing wrong. People often consider catastrophic injuries to be those that involve neck or spinal damage that results in paralysis, but this is not true in every situation. We consider a catastrophic injury to be any which will significantly affect the lives of the victims for a long time to come.

Your catastrophic injury attorney can make sure that you receive all of the help you need after a horrible injury. However, catastrophic injuries are always complex, and there are several highly technical details involved in the accidents that caused them. Your attorney must have experience representing clients in many different types of accidents.

At Paul Padda Law, we have been helping the seriously injured and their families for decades, including the victims of:

According to the National Safety Council, an American is accidentally injured every second and killed every three minutes by a preventable event.

You May Need Significant Help After A Catastrophic Injury

Horrible injuries need medical attention immediately, and treatment can be required for months or years going forward. Surgeries and therapy are often necessary to bring your life closer to what it once was. However, your daily routine will typically be altered in every aspect. Things like going to work or school will not be the same, and they might not even be possible for a long time after your injury. The legal system is supposed to give you a path to recover these damages if they were wrongly inflicted upon you by the negligence or carelessness of another. While you may not be able to immediately return to life as it once was, a personal injury lawsuit pursued by an experienced lawyer can give you and your family the level or help and support that you need.

Paul Padda Law has consistently been recognized for our ability to evaluate the full scope of our clients’ injuries and what they will need, so they can truly recover what they lost. In every serious injury case, we get to know our clients and learn about how their lives were affected by their accident.

Of the various damages that you may pursue after a catastrophic injury, some include:

  • Past medical bills
  • Future medical costs for surgeries, therapy, and general care
  • Lost wages
  • Lost future earning potential
  • Training for new professional skills
  • Equipment to improve your mobility
  • Modifications to your home or workplace
  • Travel costs related to getting better after your accident

At Paul Padda Law, we help you get the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes Of Catastrophic Injuries

Horrible accidents can happen at any time. Many of those injured in a catastrophic accident were doing routine activities. Furthermore, people are often seriously hurt in scenarios where they would not consider themselves to be in particularly high danger. These would include cases where they are driving slowly in their neighborhood, or walking along a calm city street. You could have been doing everything right, and still be caught off guard with a horrific accident.

Getting to the bottom of what caused your injury is essential for your ability to recover proper compensation. A skilled catastrophic accident attorney will be able to investigate your accident and find out whose recklessness was the cause of your harm. Our catastrophic injury lawyers have seen many clients suffering, and we know how to get answers regarding the cause of their accidents.

Your catastrophic injury may have been caused by one of the following:

Building A Strong Case To Win The Damages You Need

Catastrophic accidents that severely harm you or your family often become very complex situations. Your life can be turned upside down, and it might not be easy to know what to do. A knowledgeable serious injury lawyer can help you get your physical recovery on track while also making sure that you obtain everything that you deserve in compensation. However, even in cases where it seems obvious who is at fault, the insurance companies involved will fight very hard to reduce their liability. Some of the most aggressively fought cases are those where the potential payoff for the injured party is substantial. Furthermore, it is important to understand that even your own insurance provider will be seeking to reduce damages that they might owe you.

Every company and individual involved in your accident will have their own representatives fighting for them. You need your own advocate, who is working hard to make sure that you get what you need to help you on your long road to recovery. Being offered an acceptable settlement offer can allow for you to get the financial help that you deserve without much delay. However, insurance companies are known to begin with a low offer, and therefore we strongly encourage you to not accept any payment without first consulting with your lawyer. Our office will make clear that we will not accept anything less than the best possible result.

We will make a strong argument for your claim by gathering and studying the following evidence in your case:

  • Witness reports and testimony
  • Police reports
  • Photos of the accident scene
  • Video of your accident, including security footage
  • Product defect reports and studies
  • Company records
  • Vehicle maintenance records
  • Background checks and licensing history of those involved
  • Accident reconstruction data
  • Toxicology reports and other pertinent medical information
  • Cell phone tower data

Your case for damages may unfortunately not have a quick settlement offer that is sufficient to help with your financial needs. We have seen this before, and our injury lawyers have years of experience taking our clients’ cases to court, when necessary to get them the help they require. If you do not have an aggressive catastrophic injury lawyer or are representing yourself, the other party might not offer you the damages that you deserve. However, insurance companies know that Paul Padda Law is willing to take your case to court. For this reason, they are far more likely to offer you an acceptable settlement for your needs instead of risking a long and costly trial.

Nevada’s Statute Of Limitations May Affect Your Case

State law requires that personal injury claims be filed within a certain amount of time or risk being thrown out of court. If you wait too long to take action, you will not receive a settlement offer since the other side will know that you have no recourse in court. While these rules may seem unfair, they are meant to protect defendants from having to fight cases where the facts occurred many years ago. While there are many different types of these statute of limitations laws that can affect your case, some of the most important time frames you should consider include:

One year – medical malpractice suits in Nevada must generally be filed within one year of the malpractice event. Thus, if you are the victim of medical malpractice while getting treatment after your accident, the timeframe begins on the date of the malpractice and not when your initial accident happened.

Two years – personal injury suits and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the accident or the death of your loved one.

Three years – Actions for recovery for property damage or medical malpractice must be made within three years. If you are the victim of medical malpractice while getting treatment after your accident, the timeframe begins on the date of the malpractice and not when your initial accident happened.

There are still some exceptions to statute of limitations laws. For example, you may be suffering from certain injuries after a catastrophic accident, but another injury might only become evident over time. Statute of limitations timeframes can be delayed to begin only after it was reasonable for you to have noticed the injury. Given the complexity of these issues, and how are these cases are fought, you will want a lawyer who understands how these rules are applied by Nevada courts.

Do not delay in contacting a lawyer to discuss your case, even if you are unsure about your options going forward. Catastrophic injuries are very complex. The injuries sustained must be reviewed carefully before seeking compensation, and the other parties will be sure to fight every detail as they work to pay as little as possible.
