Sunrise Manor Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a form of personal injury that is defined by its permanence, long-term health problems, and severe emotional distress. A catastrophic injury is a life-altering wound that stays with you, possibly forever.

While the pain may one day lessen or even go away entirely, the impact that the wound has on your life may never leave you. That impact is felt every day by you and your loved ones. A catastrophic injury risks shattering your entire world, but there are ways to come back and find yourself again.

One way to work toward healing is to seek compensatory damages from any negligent parties that may have had something to do with your injury. Proving this negligence is not always an easy task to accomplish. It takes determination, time, and strong evidence.

While collaborating with an experienced Sunrise Manor personal injury lawyer, you can build a case by gathering evidence of that negligence. If you can prove it, you will most likely be able to seek compensatory damages from the party or parties that wronged you.

However, in addition to assembling evidence to show the court, you must also prove that the following criteria had taken place prior to and after your injury:

  • There was an established, agreed-upon duty of care that was owed to the plaintiff by the defendant.
  • The defendant breached that duty of care by engaging in negligent behavior, either willingly or unwillingly.
  • That breach in the duty of care led to the catastrophic injury in question.
  • Ever since suffering that catastrophic injury, the plaintiff has dealt with numerous health problems and undue stress, which they deserve to be compensated for.

Some Forms of Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries don’t always heal. Even when they do, they almost always leave behind a scar or some other reminder of your ordeal. The mental distress of having gone through your trauma may never fully leave you. You may even be left with some physical impairment, disfigurement, or traumatic consequence that may reveal itself in the future as long-term damage. Here are two of the more common forms of catastrophic injury that are reported every day:

  • Spinal Cord Injury: The spinal cord’s primary function is to send signals from the brain to the rest of the body. These signals are interpreted by the limbs and organs, which then know how to function properly. If that signal is interrupted or severed, you can suffer severe physical damage, some of which may never heal. The severing of the spinal cord, or even the bruising of the spinal cord, causes full or partial paralysis and/or quadriplegia, among other traumatic injuries.
  • Blindness: Going blind can be a horrifying ordeal that can be difficult to come back from. Blindness can cause you to reevaluate your life going forward and force you to make concessions that you never thought you would have to make. You can no longer drive, you may need assistance getting around, and living alone can become increasingly complicated. Anything from a bad car accident to a random construction accident could result in blindness.

Catastrophic Injuries FAQs

Q: How Much Do Injury Lawyers Take in Nevada?

A: Most personal injury lawyers, including the ones at Easton & Easton, operate on a contingency fee basis. What that essentially means is they only get paid if they can successfully win your case. If you lose, you don’t pay them a dime. When they do win your case, they will usually take a percentage of your total compensation as their fee. It is always important to discuss fee arrangements with a potential attorney before hiring them.

Q: How Long Does an Accident Stay on Your Record in Nevada?

A: Typically, a car accident stays on your record for at least three years in Nevada. That’s only for minor accidents and fender benders. The more serious car accidents, which are the ones that result in a conviction, will stay on your record for at least 10 years. The more severe the accident, the more severe the consequences and the higher your insurance premiums will rise. Nevada takes car accident fallout very seriously.

Q: How Long Does It Take to File an Accident Claim in Nevada?

A: In Nevada, it could take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to file an accident claim. If you are unable to recover the entirety of your damages through just the insurance company, you will want to file a personal injury claim against the negligent party. Some factors that will be considered alongside your claim will be the severity of your injuries, the full extent of the damages you are seeking, and whether you have experienced legal counsel.

Q: What Is Emotional Distress Worth?

A: Potentially, emotional distress could be worth quite a lot. Under Nevada state law, there is no set limit for how much you can attempt to recover for emotional distress. It is almost impossible to attach a price to someone’s emotional pain. There is a chance that you could receive substantial compensation for emotional distress, especially if the situation you experienced in Sunrise Manor was very serious.

Coming out of my first auto accident as an adult, a very difficult and scary time to navigate and understand, I was so incredibly thankful to have been put in contact with Easton & Easton.

They have made the entire process stress free for me as I recovered, and I am so grateful for them and their genuine care for my case. Communication from the start has been fantastic, especially making clear what my expectations for the entire process would look like, and I truly believe they have my best interest at heart. 100% I would recommend their firm for anyone that is needing representation!

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton. The senior partner Mr. Easton took the time to meet with me and my wife while I was still in the hospital, where he gave my family hope that there was light at the end of a very long, and very dark tunnel. Matt Easton then worked my case, and because of his dedication, experience and expertise I received a settlement that was larger than I EVER thought possible. It was truly astounding! Matt and the entire team at Easton & Easton looked out for me throughout my recovery, and in the end they gave me my life back. Five stars is not enough. Thanks Matt! Thanks Easton & Easton!

Ashlee A.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.

Jeffrey N.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!

Mark B.

My life changed in a matter of seconds after a catastrophic spinal cord injury that left me disabled. Brian Easton and his team worked on my case non stop for 3 years and provided me the justice I deserved. I couldn’t have been more content.
I was treated with utmost respect and I felt like I was being represented by a close family member. The responses to my questions were quick and clear. What E & E has done for me is phenomenal.
My sincere thanks to Brian, Matt, Travis, Doug, Gabriel and Amera. They are what they are because of their dedication to provide high quality and professional service to their clients.

Vamsi P.

Brian Easton and his team, Gabe Mendoza and Amera Hajali, helped me during a very difficult time in my life. I had a significant injury from a car accident, and wound up seeking out Easton & Easton when I was having difficulties getting help from my doctors. The Easton team took a lot of stress off of me while acting as my advocates to help me get the care I needed, and saw my case all the way through to a healthy settlement.

They are the BEST!

I would highly recommend Easton & Easton.
I was rear ended on my home and pushed into a semi-truck. I was not sure how to go about even using an attorney.
Brian, Gab and Amera were so good about helping me thru the process and representing me.
I was able to concentrate on getting myself better knowing they had my back, taking care of the details and keeping me informed along the way
