Since 1987, Basch Keegan & Spada has been helping clients fight for maximum compensation for their injuries. Regardless of the type of accident or severity of your injuries, we have the experience and knowledge to fully meet your legal needs during this time.
Our Unique Approach
If you have ever worked with a personal injury law firm in Ulster County, you may have been disgruntled by the fact that your lawyers settled so soon for an amount that seemed significantly lower than you deserved. It is not uncommon for attorneys to want to handle a case as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next one. That is what we call being concerned about quantity over quality.
At Basch Keegan & Spada, we have a different approach. Our injury attorneys are dedicated to giving your case the time and attention you need. From the outset, we handle each case as if it is going to trial. Although we are frequently able to achieve a fair settlement outside of court, we are fierce litigators if the claim must be taken before a judge. We are known for getting the maximum value out of cases for our clients. You deserve the highest possible settlement, and we aim to obtain that every time.
No Fee Unless We Win
If you are like many Upstate New Yorkers, you are likely worried about how you will pay to get the legal representation you require. When you work with Basch Keegan & Spada, there is no need to be anxious about how you will pay, because we only charge you if you win your case. We believe you should only need to pay for legal services if the law firm actually does its job.
When Every Cent of Compensation Counts
Were you in a serious accident that left you severely injured? If your injury caused an immediate disability or permanent complications, then it might be considered “catastrophic” in medical and legal definitions.
Regardless of what it is called, a catastrophic injury will have devastating consequences on your well-being and your finances, possibly for the rest of your life.
To seek fair compensation after a catastrophic injury, you need legal counsel that is just as serious. Basch Keegan & Spada is the first name you should call in Kingston for comprehensive representation for your catastrophic injury claim.
We have more than 100 years of collective experience to put to use when working on your claim and more than 10,000 clients who put their similar cases on our desks.
Don’t lose more time to hesitation. Call (845) 303-2748 and start exploring your legal options after suffering a life-changing injury in the Hudson Valley.
Five Common Types of Catastrophic Injuries
Any injury that causes significant and lasting harm can be considered catastrophic. Five types of catastrophic injuries occur more often than others, though, and it is this group that we focus our legal efforts on the most.
Five of the most commonly reported catastrophic injuries are:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Brain damage can be caused by blunt force trauma, oxygen deprivation, chemical exposure, and other sorts of hazards. In every situation, though, a TBI poses a significant health threat that may cause an unpredictable number of symptoms ranging in severity.
- Spinal cord injuries: Harm to the back or spine can damage the spinal cord, causing immediate and permanent paralysis. The higher the injury occurs along the spinal cord, the greater the extent of the paralysis.
- Amputations: Particularly violent accidents like a high-speed car accident may cause a total or partial loss of a limb or amputation. Medical malpractice can also cause amputation through egregious surgical errors.
- Burn injuries: Second- and third-degree burns caused by fires, explosions, electrocution, and caustic chemicals can cause permanent scarring and disabilities, depending on what part of the body is burned.
- Permanent disfigurement: Someone who is left with permanent disfigurement or significant visible scarring after reaching their maximum medical improvement (MMI) can be considered a catastrophic injury victim.
Understanding the Legal Process for Catastrophic Injury Cases in Kingston
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it’s important to understand the legal process involved in pursuing compensation for your damages. Our Kingston catastrophic injury attorneys at Basch Keegan & Spada are here to guide you every step of the way.
The legal process for catastrophic injury cases typically involves:
Investigation
We will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your injury, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to build a strong case.
Settlement Negotiations
We will negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company to reach a fair settlement that covers your current and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Litigation
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we will take your case to court and fight for the compensation you deserve.
At every stage of the legal process, we will keep you informed and involved, answering any questions you may have and advocating for your best interests.
Damages That Extend into the Future
Due to the extreme harm caused by a catastrophic injury, the financial damage caused is often far more extensive than most initially realize. Immediate medical care is necessary but so will be future treatments.
The disabilities caused by a catastrophic injury can also prevent you from working for the foreseeable future, dramatically reducing or completely eliminating your income from gainful employment.
With all of these damages in mind, it is clear that calculating the costs of your injury needs to look beyond what has already accrued.
Our Kingston catastrophic injury lawyers know to consider the damages you have not yet experienced but likely will, so our calculations are accurate and fair. It is our goal to conclude your case with a settlement or verdict amount that allows you to rest comfortably for however long you need.
