What Can You Recover in a Catastrophic Case?
The average catastrophic injury case we take settles for $1 million to $20 million, and priced by what the injury takes, decade after decade. These cases are priced by life-care plans, not medical bills, and the difference is millions.
Insurers pay more, and pay sooner, when they know a jury is coming. We build every file for the courtroom from the first day, and so far we are undefeated.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, and our RN Medical Director manages your medical care from day one, insurance or no insurance. There's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Catastrophic Cases Are Different
The number that matters isn't on any bill yet. Catastrophic valuation is a projection exercise, care needs at 5, 15, 40 years; complication probabilities; equipment cycles; caregiver economics, and it's exactly where under-resourced firms settle short. It is also where defendants fight hardest, with their own annuity-priced offers and "independent" medical exams. The full valuation methodology is on our catastrophic injury guide.
Aurora's Trauma System and Your Case
Catastrophic cases in Aurora run through the Anschutz campus, the region's Level I adult and pediatric trauma centers, with rehab at Craig Hospital and specialty care across the metro. For the case, that means world-class treating physicians whose projections carry courtroom weight, complete records minutes from our office, and life-care plans built with the very teams delivering the care. The crash may have taken seconds; the medical record that values it is built here, over months. The catastrophic cases we see most have their own pages: severe burns, spinal cord injuries, and electrocutions.
How We Build a Catastrophic Case
Liability locked early and hard, reconstruction, spoliation letters, every defendant named, because catastrophic damages mean nothing without someone to pay them. The coverage hunt: policies, umbrellas, employers, products, premises. Then the damages architecture: life-care plan, vocational and economic analysis, day-in-the-life evidence, and family-impact testimony that makes an adjuster's spreadsheet look like what it is.
Damages, Venue, and Deadlines
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal incident carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. In catastrophic cases the uncapped categories dominate, impairment and lifetime economics, so the fight is proof and coverage, not caps. Deadlines run from 182 days (government notice) to three years (vehicle crashes); the evidence clock is always shorter. Venue: Arapahoe County District Court for most of Aurora. If trial is what it takes, as our record shows; we are ready.
