A personal injury occurs when one party’s actions cause harm to another party. The victim has the right to pursue accountability and compensation for their damages with a civil suit, and their goal is to secure the compensation they need to be whole again. However, some personal injuries are catastrophic, meaning the victim has suffered permanent harm. If this has happened to you, a Yukon catastrophic injury lawyer is an invaluable resource.

Whether you were hurt in a vehicle crash on I-40, suffered a slip and fall at a local business, or experienced a severe injury at work, an experienced Yukon personal injury lawyer can be a crucial resource to consult. They can help you determine the breadth of your recovery options and build a case for you.
In every case we accept, our goal is to help our client recover maximum compensation for their injury. A catastrophic injury by definition is life-changing, and you’re likely to have many questions about the potential value of your case, how you can prove fault, and how long it could take to recover compensation. You have limited time to pursue accountability and compensation, so it’s important that you hire a catastrophic injury lawyer right away.
To succeed with any kind of personal injury case in Yukon, the plaintiff must identify the party responsible for causing the injury, prove how they caused it, and then show the full scope of the resulting damages. Some of the most commonly reported catastrophic injuries in the Yukon area include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and amputations.
Catastrophic injuries not only cause significant immediate damage but also pose long-term complications. For example, the International Brain Injury Association estimates that about one million Americans receive emergency room care for brain injuries each year in the United States, and about 80,000 of these victims emerge with some type of brain injury-related disability. Any brain injury could cause severe long-term or permanent complications for the victim.
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation estimates there are about 18,000 new spinal cord injury cases each year in the United States. Any spinal cord injury has the potential to result in permanent paralysis. The victim may be unable to return to their job, or they may be unable to work at all in the future. They could also be unable to live independently, and this can be tremendously distressing while also incurring substantial economic costs.
Your Yukon catastrophic injury lawyer can gather the evidence you need to prove liability for the injury you suffered, determine the full extent of your claimable damages, and build a cohesive personal injury case for you aimed at securing maximum compensation. You have a short time to file your case, so reach out to Fulmer Sill today and learn more about the legal services we offer that can help with your recovery.
You can prove fault for a catastrophic injury using physical and digital evidence as well as testimony from witnesses who saw the injury happen. The evidence you will need will depend on the manner in which the injury occurred. For example, proving fault for a car accident will require very different evidence from proving fault for a slip and fall. Your Yukon catastrophic injury lawyer can gather the evidence needed to prove fault for your injury.
The value of a catastrophic injury case in Yukon depends on the overall severity of the injury and the scope of its effects. You may be eligible to claim compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and the pain and suffering you have experienced. Your case could be worth more than you expect, so it’s vital to hire a catastrophic injury lawyer at your first opportunity so they can help you maximize your total recovery.
For a catastrophic injury, pain and suffering compensation is typically calculated based on the total of the plaintiff’s economic damages, multiplied by a factor that reflects the scope of the long-term effects of the injury. For many people filing these personal injury cases, compensation for pain and suffering forms the bulk of their total compensation. A skilled attorney can help their client maximize the compensation they receive for their non-economic damages.
You should hire a catastrophic injury lawyer to have a better chance of not only winning your case but also maximizing the compensation you win from the defendant. Your attorney can gather the evidence needed to establish liability, help you file an insurance claim if necessary, guide you through all of your legal proceedings efficiently, and assist you with recovering maximum compensation for your damages.
The cost to hire a Yukon catastrophic injury lawyer is determined by our contingency fee policy when you choose Fulmer Sill to represent you. Under a contingency fee agreement, the client does not pay any upfront or ongoing legal fees. Instead, the attorney charges a percentage of the total compensation won on the client’s behalf if and when they win the case. If the attorney is unable to obtain compensation for the client, the client pays nothing.
The team at Fulmer Sill excels at empowering injured people in their recovery efforts after they have been harmed by the negligence and misconduct of others. If you are struggling with the effects of a catastrophic injury, we can help you make sense of your legal options.
