Determining Negligence In A Catastrophic Injury Case

Establishing negligence in a catastrophic injury case requires navigating several key steps:

• First, it's essential to establish the duty of care, which means demonstrating that the defendant had a legal responsibility to act in a manner that would prevent harm. 
• Next, you must show a breach of this duty, indicating that the defendant's actions—or lack thereof—fell short of what a reasonable person would have done under similar circumstances. Causation is then proven by linking the breach directly to the injuries sustained, showing that the defendant's actions were the proximate cause of the harm. 
• Finally, it's necessary to quantify the damages, detailing the extent of the injuries and the impact on the victim's life.

At Cohan PLLC, our experienced Las Vegas catastrophic injury lawyers can play a crucial role in this process. By leveraging our expertise, we strive to secure fair compensation, reflecting the severity of the injuries and the long-term consequences that you may face.

Types Of Damages That Can Be Recovered

In a catastrophic injury case, various types of damages can be recovered to compensate for the extensive impact on the victim's life:

• Economic damages cover tangible financial losses, such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and any future earning capacity impacted by the injury.
• Non-economic damages address the more subjective, though equally significant, aspects such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. 
• In some instances, punitive damages may also be sought, aimed at punishing the defendant for particularly reckless or malicious behavior and deterring similar conduct in the future.

Calculating these damages requires a detailed understanding of both the immediate and long-term implications of the injury. Here’s where Cohan PLLC comes in. Our Las Vegas catastrophic injury attorneys can play a crucial role in this process, drawing on our expertise to gather comprehensive evidence, including medical records and expert testimonies. Our goal is to maximize the recovery for clients, ensuring fair compensation that reflects the true extent of the harm suffered. Contact us today if you have a catastrophic injury resulting from an accident.

Timelines for Filing a Catastrophic Injury Claim

Filing a catastrophic injury claim involves adhering to strict timelines, making it crucial to understand the statute of limitations. In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including catastrophic injuries, is typically two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can drastically impact your ability to seek compensation, as courts are generally strict about enforcing these timeframes.

We emphasize the importance of early action to preserve evidence and build a strong case. Delays not only jeopardize the legal standing of your claim but can also hinder the collection of crucial evidence like witness statements, medical records, and accident reports. Timely legal intervention is essential to ensure all documentation and procedural requirements are met efficiently.
