The National Center for Health Statistics reports that about 25 million Americans visit emergency rooms each year after sustaining unintentional injuries. Many of these injuries are minor, but some are major ones suffered during serious accidents. If you’re ever involved in such an accident, consider calling a catastrophic accident lawyer for assistance. RP Legal Group can help you locate a lawyer who will seek damages in your case and potentially allow you to collect compensation as you aim to make a full recovery from your injuries.
What Is a Catastrophic Accident?
A catastrophic accident is any accident that involves extremely serious and potentially life-threatening injuries. Car, workplace, and pedestrian accidents can all be catastrophic in certain cases.
Here are several qualities of this kind of accident to help you identify one:
- Severe injuries that include head trauma, spinal cord injuries, burns, amputations, and/or internal injuries
- Injuries significant enough to cause long-term disabilities
- Injuries amounting to substantial financial losses
An accident like this can turn your world upside-down and affect everything from carrying out everyday tasks to your ability to earn an honest living and support your family. It could even make it necessary for you to hire professionals to help you get around during the weeks, months, or years that follow.
If you’ve suffered injuries during an accident, call RP Legal Group to seek the services of a local lawyer who understands the intricacies of personal injury law.
Contact our team today so we can fight to help you get the compensation you deserve.
What Should I Do After a Catastrophic Accident?
In the immediate aftermath of a terrible accident, you might not have the chance to react much at all. Severe injuries could limit your ability to move and force you to depend on others to respond appropriately.
Whether you take the following steps yourself or lean on a loved one or even a stranger for assistance, here’s what you need to do to work your way through an accident:
- Call 911 and ask for the police and an ambulance to respond to the scene of your accident.
- Seek medical attention from paramedics and consider asking them to take you to a local hospital for further evaluation. Even if you feel fine, don’t put off a full medical exam, as not all injuries present themselves right away.
- Collect as much evidence from the scene of your accident as you can before it disappears.
- Keep receipts, bills, and other documents connected to your case as you continue to seek medical care.
- Call a lawyer to determine liability and negligence in your case.
The injuries sustained during a serious accident can cause financial issues if you aren’t careful. Let RP Legal Group connect you with an accident attorney who can help recover damages and salvage a bad situation.
How Can a Catastrophic Accident Lawyer Help Me?

In some cases, a lawyer may advise you to go through your insurance company in an attempt to collect compensation to cover medical bills and other costs. In others, they may tell you to consider filing an accident lawsuit against the negligent party in your accident case.

How Much Is My Catastrophic Accident Lawsuit Worth?
Filing an accident lawsuit could put you in a position to collect compensation you can use to pay medical bills and rehabilitation costs. You can also utilize this compensation to account for lost income.
However, putting a price tag on what an accident lawsuit is worth isn’t always easy. Some are valued at just a few thousand dollars, while others end up being worth millions. The value of your lawsuit will depend on several factors, including the following:
- The severity of your accident injuries
- The long-term impact of your injuries
- The financial hardships stemming from your injuries
The only way to accurately determine what an accident lawsuit could be worth is by sitting down with a lawyer to discuss the particulars of your situation. Give RP Legal Group a call to kickstart your search for the right attorney.
