What Can You Recover in a Catastrophic Case?
The average catastrophic injury case we take settles for $1 million to $20 million, and priced by what the injury takes, decade after decade. These cases are priced by life-care plans, not medical bills, and the difference is millions.
Insurers pay more, and pay sooner, when they know a jury is coming. We build every file for the courtroom from the first day, and so far we are undefeated.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, and our RN Medical Director manages your medical care from day one, insurance or no insurance. There's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Should I Hire A Catastrophic injury Lawyer in Aurora?
Short answer: leverage. Life-care planning, not medical bills, sets the value, and building one takes a coordinated team of experts. Handling that alone means learning the rules on the insurer's timeline. Represented claimants routinely recover multiples of what unrepresented ones accept, which is why the insurer hopes you stay unrepresented.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Catastrophic injury Lawyer?
Zero out of pocket. Free consultation, no hourly bills, no retainer: we front the experts, the records, and the court costs, and we are paid a percentage only if you recover. The expensive choice is going without: insurers systematically pay unrepresented claimants a fraction of case value, which costs far more than any fee.
How Much Is My Catastrophic injury Case Worth?
Most serious catastrophic injury cases we take resolve between $1 million and $20 million. The spread is not random; value is built. Complete medical documentation, proof of permanence, every liable policy identified, and a defendant who believes a jury is coming: cases fall to the bottom of the range when any of those is missing and climb when all four are present. Here is what the law lets you recover.
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal incident carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. In catastrophic cases the uncapped categories dominate, impairment and lifetime economics, so the fight is proof and coverage, not caps. Deadlines run from 182 days (government notice) to three years (vehicle crashes); the evidence clock is always shorter. Venue: Arapahoe County District Court for most of Aurora. If trial is what it takes, as our record shows; we are ready.

- Get to the right level of care: a Level I trauma center and the correct specialists change outcomes and the record.
- Document function early: short videos and journal notes of what has changed, week by week.
- Have one family member log every provider, visit, and instruction.
- Do not discuss settlement; lifetime costs are unknowable this early, and early numbers are always wrong.
- Route every insurer contact through one spokesperson, ideally your lawyer.
Every one of these steps you can take today, no lawyer required, and each one strengthens whatever comes next. When you are ready for the parts that do need us, the consultation is free.
When Should I Hire a Lawyer?
The practical rule: if it took more than one medical visit, or anyone disputes what happened, it clears the bar for a free consultation today. Waiting rarely improves anything except the defense's position.
Why Catastrophic Cases Are Different
The number that matters isn't on any bill yet. Catastrophic valuation is a projection exercise, care needs at 5, 15, 40 years; complication probabilities; equipment cycles; caregiver economics, and it's exactly where under-resourced firms settle short. It is also where defendants fight hardest, with their own annuity-priced offers and "independent" medical exams. The full valuation methodology is on our catastrophic injury guide.
Aurora's Trauma System and Your Case
Catastrophic cases in Aurora run through the Anschutz campus, the region's Level I adult and pediatric trauma centers, with rehab at Craig Hospital and specialty care across the metro. For the case, that means world-class treating physicians whose projections carry courtroom weight, complete records minutes from our office, and life-care plans built with the very teams delivering the care. The crash may have taken seconds; the medical record that values it is built here, over months. The catastrophic cases we see most have their own pages: severe burns, spinal cord injuries, and electrocutions.
How We Build a Catastrophic Case
Liability locked early and hard, reconstruction, spoliation letters, every defendant named, because catastrophic damages mean nothing without someone to pay them. The coverage hunt: policies, umbrellas, employers, products, premises. Then the damages architecture: life-care plan, vocational and economic analysis, day-in-the-life evidence, and family-impact testimony that makes an adjuster's spreadsheet look like what it is.
