We Won’t Spare Any Expense When Building Your Case

  • Retaining experts to testify about who is at fault for the event(s) that caused you to suffer a catastrophic injury
  • Hiring medical experts to testify about your injuries, symptoms, disabilities, and medical needs
  • Hiring mental health experts to evaluate conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Experience is important because:

  • Not every catastrophic injury lawyer has it
  • The longer an attorney has been representing clients with catastrophic injuries, the more familiar they are with the toll such injuries take on their client

What to Expect from Your Catastrophic Injury Lawyer from Marcus & Mack

Hiring a lawyer means handing over your case—and the fate of your financial recovery—to a legally trained counselor. It is a major decision, and it’s a responsibility our catastrophic injury lawyers do not take lightly.

Our team will work to build the strongest case we can for you, and our duties will likely include:

Documenting the Circumstances That Caused Your Catastrophic Injuries

Bradley-Holuta attorney at marcus and mackWe must prove how someone’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing led you to suffer a catastrophic injury. We gather different types of evidence depending on the cause of the injury.

In a case involving a severe truck accident, for instance, your lawyer will likely gather:

  • Data from the truck’s black box
  • Any employment records suggesting negligence by the truck driver or trucking company
  • Video of the truck accident
  • Experts’ reconstructions of the truck accident, as well as their opinions about who caused the accident

The types of evidence we obtain for a case may be entirely different. Our personalized approach ensures that we will secure all relevant evidence, whatever the cause of your injury.

Proving That Liable Parties Were Negligent

Negligence is often the standard of fault in catastrophic injury cases. Those who are negligent don’t usually want to cause harm to others. However, negligent parties’ actions increase the likelihood that someone will suffer harm.

Your Indiana catastrophic injury lawyer will make the case for negligence by:

  1. Explaining that the at-fault party had a duty of care to you
  2. Proving how the at-fault party failed to honor their duty of care
  3. Establishing the at-fault party’s breach of duty of care as the cause of your injuries
  4. Proving the damages you have suffered because of the negligence in question

Our lawyers have to make this case in virtually every claim and lawsuit we handle, so we are well-versed in proving negligence. Negotiations can begin once we have proven that someone’s negligence caused your catastrophic injury.

Documenting the Damages We Are Seeking Compensation For

logo of marcus and mack attorneysWhen we have proved that someone else’s negligence caused your catastrophic injury, it is time to secure the compensation you deserve. We will prove how much money you deserve by documenting your damages.

Some common types of documentation we use in catastrophic injury cases include:

  • Records from emergency physicians, specialists, and other medical providers detailing the injury
  • All medical bills related to the catastrophic injury
  • Employment records, income statements, and experts’ testimony that show the professional effects of your injury
  • A mental health expert’s diagnoses of your pain and suffering, including an explanation of how the pain and suffering will affect your life

Our attorneys will contact any experts, doctors, and others who can help us document your damages. We will create a vivid record detailing your catastrophic injury’s economic and non-economic harm.

Determining How Much Money You Are Entitled To

You deserve a specific sum of money. This sum will be the total of your economic and non-economic damages and any punitive damages we seek for you.

We will be completely sure of our case valuation before negotiating or advising you to accept a settlement.

Serving as Your Personal Negotiators

Bryan-NeiderhiserYour attorney from Marcus & Mack will negotiate with those responsible for your injury. Depending on the details of your case, we may negotiate a settlement with an insurer (or multiple insurers), the lawyer for an at-fault party, or others.

The attorneys at Marcus & Mack:

  • Have secured many multi-million-dollar settlements for our clients
  • Do not back down from attempts to underpay you
  • Will go through multiple rounds when negotiating your settlement if we need to
  • Know that trial is a viable option if settlement negotiations do not work out, so we will stand behind our settlement demands

Our case results are a testament to our skill and persistence as negotiators. Let us fight for the financial settlement you are worthy of.

Representing You in Civil Court in Indiana, If Necessary

Though we prefer when our client receives fair payment through a settlement (because this is faster than completing a trial), we are competent in the courtroom.

We will update you as we negotiate a catastrophic injury settlement. You will decide whether to accept any offer, and we will provide helpful advice so you can make the right decision. If you decide you want to file a lawsuit and go to trial, let Marcus & Mack lead the way.

Damages We Frequently See in Pennsylvania Catastrophic Injury Cases

Catastrophic injuries often do not heal. Even if your injuries do heal, you may face lingering symptoms and damages relevant to the case.

Some types of damages we expect to seek compensation for include:

  • Medical costs, which in catastrophic injury cases often cover emergency services, surgeries, medical equipment, rehabilitation, and many other medical needs
  • Pain and suffering, which may include emotional anguish, psychological distress, and conditions like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Lost income, which also occurs along with lost earning capacity, inability to earn bonuses, lost opportunities for promotions, and other professional damages

If your case involves property damage (like repairs for your car), we will include such costs.
