Miami Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

A catastrophic injury has the power to change your physical appearance and ability. It can change your life instantly and prevent you from enjoying your preferred career and social activities. If another person’s negligence caused your life-changing injuries, a Miami catastrophic injury lawyer from our team can help you identify the negligent party and work to prove their financial liability. 

At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, we can collect evidence, organize and submit it, and deal with all other issues related to the insurance company. We will also represent you in court if we cannot resolve your case with an insurance settlement. We’ll ensure your case gets the attention it needs and results in the best possible outcome for you. 

Our Law Firm’s Catastrophic Injury Practice Areas

Our client-focused team is passionate about pursuing compensation for you. In Miami, our personal injury practice areas include the following:

• Birth injury cases

• Slip and fall accidents
• Medical malpractice cases

If you suffered a catastrophic injury in one of these or another type of accident not listed above, a Miami catastrophic injury attorney from our team can help you seek compensation from the at-fault party.

Proving the At-Fault Party’s Negligence

To compel the at-fault party in your accident to compensate you, we will obtain evidence that establishes the legal components of negligence. These include: 

• The at-fault party had a responsibility to provide you with a duty of care
• The at-fault party failed to comply with this responsibility
• This failure caused your physical injuries 
• The accident and your injuries had financial consequences

Obtaining your medical records can be time-consuming, since they will likely come from multiple healthcare, rehabilitation, and therapeutic physicians and facilities. We will not add stress or frustration to your post-accident experience by asking you to obtain evidence. Instead, we’ll handle this process for you, so you focus on getting better. 

The Life-Changing Impact of Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury has a devastating — often life-changing — impact on you and the people who love and care for you. This category of injury can include:

• One or multiple broken bones
• Limb or digit amputations
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• One or multiple birth injuries
• Full or partial paralysis
• Permanent disfiguring injuries

This list is not exhaustive, and you may have an injury that changed your life but does not appear here.

Damages Our Law Firm May Help You Recover

Pursuing compensation for injured clients can be a complex process. To bolster and support your right to financial compensation, our client-focused team at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers will:

Time Management

Your personal injury case is time-sensitive, so we’ll ensure you do not run out of time to file a lawsuit if it becomes necessary. In Florida, you generally have:

• Four years to meet the personal injury statute of limitations, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) 
• Two years to meet the wrongful death statute of limitations, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) 
• Two years to meet the medical malpractice statute of limitations, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b) 
• Two years to meet the nursing home abuse statute of limitations, per Florida Statutes § 400.0236

Our legal team does more than ensure compliance with the statute of limitations exceptions. We’ll also ensure we account for any factors that may cause a fluctuation in your case’s filing deadline, per Florida Statutes § 95.051.

Evidence Collection

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court based on the weight and strength of the evidence. The evidence we collect in support of your catastrophic injury case may include:

• The accident report
• Accident scene photos
• Injury photos
• Medical records
• Salary history records
• Witness statements
• Written prognosis
• Your written statement

Our catastrophic injury attorneys serving Miami will leave no stone unturned in proving the cause and identifying the at-fault party in your case. We will collect evidence and prepare it for submission as part of negotiations or trial.
