What Compensation Can I Recover After a Catastrophic Injury?
Even though compensation cannot give you back what you lost, it can certainly help when it comes to offering you the financial support and stability you need to adjust to your new life.
There are two main kinds of damages available to catastrophic injury victims: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are out-of-pocket costs, such as medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation expenses, and future care needs. These are measurable losses with a clear dollar value.
Non-economic damages cover the intangible effects of an injury, such as pain and suffering and emotional distress. While non-economic damages are harder to calculate, they are just as important when it comes to being compensated for the full extent of a victim’s suffering.

Some examples of economic and non-economic damages include:
- Medical expenses (past, current, and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Cost of long-term care or rehabilitation
- Home modifications and assistive devices
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (impact on relationships)
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
- Transportation costs to medical appointments
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm)

Georgia Catastrophic Injury FAQs
What if the insurance company is pressuring me to settle?
Do not accept any settlement without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, especially in high-value cases. We’ll protect you from these tactics and ensure any offer truly reflects the full scope of your injuries—both now and in the future.
What if the accident was partially my fault?
Georgia uses a modified comparative fault system. You can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility. We’ll help you assess your case and defend your rights.
How long will my catastrophic injury case take?
It depends. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others—especially those involving complex injuries or trial—can take a year or longer. We move efficiently while never compromising the quality or value of your case.
How much is my catastrophic injury case worth?
The value of your case depends on multiple factors, including the severity of your injury, medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and your long-term needs. We work with financial, medical, and vocational experts to calculate a fair and complete compensation package.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through settlements. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer what you deserve, our experienced trial attorneys are fully prepared to represent you in court.
What if my loved one is unable to speak or make decisions?
If the injured person is incapacitated, a legal guardian or family member can usually pursue a claim on their behalf. We can help you navigate this process and take the necessary legal steps.
What does it cost to hire T. Madden & Associates?
There are no upfront costs. We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you only pay if we win your case. Your initial consultation is free, and we’ll explain everything you need to know before moving forward.
