Q.

My 18-year-old son was seriously injured in a car accident caused by another driver, required multiple surgeries, and  
was given a pessimistic prognosis from doctors that he will likely be permanently disabled. 

I am wondering if my son, who became disabled at a young age,  
will be able to receive sufficient compensation to live without financial difficulties.

A.

Whenever I hear the stories of clients who have suffered serious injuries due to major traffic accidents,  
my heart aches and I do my best to obtain the best possible compensation.  
Ultimately, the size of the insurance limit of the at-fault driver is the key to receiving appropriate compensation. 

For example, if the other driver was an employee of a large company and caused an accident while transporting company goods,  
the company may be able to apply for the insurance benefits of millions of dollars.  
This is the case in which we often see multi-million dollar lawsuits through advertisements  . Such advertisements often create the misconception  
that anyone can receive a multi-million dollar settlement when they are involved in a major accident  .

However, if the at-fault driver has minimal insurance coverage, say $50,000, and  
has little personal assets, the chances of you receiving millions of dollars in compensation for your injuries are slim. 

In conclusion, to estimate how much compensation your son can receive, you should first check the at-fault driver’s auto insurance limit.  
Given the severity of your son’s injuries, it should not be difficult to receive the maximum amount of insurance money, but  
the important thing is the size of the at-fault driver’s auto insurance limit.  
However, if the at-fault driver’s auto insurance limit is insufficient, you can file a lawsuit against the driver individually.  
Also, if your son has UM insurance or if your parents who live with him have UM insurance,  
you may be able to receive additional compensation through this. 

In such Catastrophic Injuries , the role of a lawyer becomes even more important.  First, the lawyer must understand the circumstances of the accident through experts in each field, secure evidence, and devise a detailed strategy  
to ensure maximum compensation  .

And most importantly, from the moment the case is discussed until the moment compensation is made, the client  
should be able to receive reports on the progress of the case directly from his or her attorney, not from the attorney's office staff or office manager, and  
should be able to closely exchange opinions at any time about future developments. 

This is the best option to ensure you receive the best compensation in case of a Catastrophic Injuries .

Q.

A while ago, my family was involved in a major car accident on the highway due to the negligence of the car behind us. 

The accident left my husband with a serious spinal injury, my daughter with cracked ribs and abrasions to her face, and  
I had my front teeth knocked out. 

My husband and child are seriously injured and are still receiving treatment at the hospital. We desperately need material compensation to overcome this terrible damage.

I would like to ask for your advice on choosing the best attorney for my family.

A.

In such Catastrophic Injuries , the role of a lawyer is even more important. 

First, the lawyer must understand the circumstances of the accident through experts in each field, secure evidence, and develop a detailed strategy  to ensure maximum compensation  .

The handling of catastrophic cases is extremely complex and requires a high level of skill to effectively handle these cases in order to obtain adequate compensation  for victims who face significant medical and financial hardship  .

An attorney with experience in these types of cases will have the right, correct, and skilled testimony and strategies. 

Additionally, cases of Catastrophic Injuries usually require a lot of money to prosecute. 

Because these cases typically  
require the hiring of a large number of expensive experts to present evidence during litigation and trial. 

Having a law firm that has the financial resources  to hire all the necessary professionals and to pay all the costs of litigating and trialing catastrophic personal injury cases  is a critical component to success in these cases.

An important point that cannot be overlooked when hiring an attorney, especially when serious injuries are involved,  
is to hire an attorney who can communicate directly with you at all times. 

Clients should be able to receive updates on the progress of their case directly from their attorney, rather than from the attorney's office staff or office manager, and  
should be able to communicate closely with their attorney at all times regarding future developments. 

In conclusion, the attorney you hire can have a significant impact on how your case progresses, so it  
is imperative that clients suffering from serious injuries  
choose an attorney who understands their concerns and is able to communicate with them at all times based on their experience and ability, rather than an attorney who is incompetent, uncommunicative, and dismissive of their case.
