How much compensation can I recover for a catastrophic injury case?

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, you are most likely under tremendous financial pressure. Fortunately, the law allows those that have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the negligence or recklessness of another party to recover compensation for their injuries. However, determining what fair compensation is for a catastrophic injury can be complex. You will have to consider future damages as well as past and present damages. When you choose to work with an experienced Philadelphia catastrophic injury lawyer from van der Veen, Harshorn and Levin, you gain access to a wealth of resources. We will work with experts in various fields including health and economics to assess the full extent of your damages and determine what your case is worth. You can rely on our skilled and experienced attorneys to fight for just compensation on your behalf.

How long do I have to file a claim for compensation for a catastrophic injury?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Philadelphia is 2 years. This period begins on the date of the accident that resulted in the catastrophic injuries. However, there are some exceptions to this statute of limitations. For example, if you are filing a claim against a government entity, you will need to file a notice with the concerned agency within 6 months or 180 days from the date of the injury. If you fail to do so, you may forfeit your right to recover compensation for your injuries. It is therefore important to start the process of recovering compensation as early as possible. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with an experienced serious injury attorney in Philadelphia, PA, and determine whether you have a legitimate claim. We will review your case and explain your rights and options to you. We will get started on your case right away so you are not locked out by any deadlines.
