The term catastrophic injury
is a loosely defined term,
00:00:06.896 --> 00:00:12.851
but what it can be summarized
as is essentially a life-altering injury
00:00:13.051 --> 00:00:19.349
that not only impacts you,
but your loved ones on a massive basis
00:00:19.516 --> 00:00:21.920
that changes everything
involved with your life.
00:00:22.003 --> 00:00:24.979
Catastrophic injuries can occur
in a variety of different ways,
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.560
whether it's a motor vehicle
accident on the highway,
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.237
whether it's a work-related injury
that was caused by a third
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.653
party who was on site.
00:00:33.736 --> 00:00:37.250
Catastrophic injuries not only impact
your ability to earn a living wage
00:00:37.333 --> 00:00:43.477
for your family, but also live a life
that is comparable to the one
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:45.079
that you were living before.
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.957
One of the common questions
or inquiries that we receive from victims
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:53.760
of catastrophic injury are,
how do I pay my bills?
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:57.673
How do I pay for the medical
bills that are astronomical?
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.757
I keep getting bills from these medical
providers that are in the thousands,
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.920
hundreds of thousands,
millions of dollars.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.222
What do I do?
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:09.760
At Cochrane Douglas,
we can guide you every step of the way
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.014
to ensure that you know exactly
what to do moving forward
00:01:14.214 --> 00:01:18.274
and what steps to take to make sure
that not only your family is provided for,
00:01:18.369 --> 00:01:20.817
but to ensure
that you're fairly compensated
00:01:20.942 --> 00:01:24.960
for an injury that you likely
had absolutely no fault in causing.
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:28.260
