Life-Altering Injuries

Your Life Changed in an Instant. Your Legal Strategy Cannot Be Average.

Catastrophic injuries change everything — your ability to work, care for yourself, enjoy your family, and live independently. The medical costs alone can reach millions of dollars over a lifetime. Insurance companies know this, and they fight harder to minimize payouts on catastrophic claims than on any other type of case.

Joseph Gallo works with life care planners, vocational experts, economists, and medical specialists to calculate the true lifetime cost of your injuries. He then fights to recover every dollar, because a shortfall in a catastrophic injury case means the difference between adequate care and financial ruin.

Catastrophic cases demand catastrophic preparation. Average lawyering produces average results.

Catastrophic Injury FAQ

What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?
Catastrophic injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, multiple fractures, organ damage, and any injury that results in permanent disability or significant reduction in quality of life.
How are future medical costs calculated?
A life care planner evaluates your current condition, treatment needs, and prognosis, then projects the cost of all future medical care, equipment, home modifications, and support services over your expected lifetime.
What if I can never work again?
Lost future earning capacity is a major component of catastrophic injury damages. A vocational expert will assess what you would have earned over your career and that amount is included in your claim.
