Those who sustain a life-changing catastrophic injury need to protect their rights and financial independence by suing for damages in civil court. They can enter the legal system by contacting an experienced Delray Beach catastrophic injury lawyer who is well-versed in this area of law. Skilled and dedicated injury lawyers in Delray Beach will work hard to obtain an appropriate amount of compensation for you to help with your recovery.
Florida law defines a catastrophic injury as a “permanent impairment.” These injuries include amputations, brain and spinal cord damages, third degree and worse burns, blindness, hearing loss, and organ damage.
All of these severe injuries require special care, such as:
If the catastrophic injury was the result of an accident, or at the hand of another person or entity, the injured person has a right to sue the negligent party for damages to pay for the needed care and other harms under Florida’s comparative negligence standard.
Legally, negligence means that an injury or other harm was caused by a dangerous or improper act.
Florida lawmakers reasoned that anyone who bears some fault in an accident must share the financial responsibility. Modified comparative negligence reduces the amount of damages that can be claimed by the percentage of fault, up to 50%. If they are found 51% or more at fault, they are barred from recovery entirely. A person who is 80 percent at fault cannot claim damages, while a person who is 40% at fault will be able to recover 60% of their total damages.
Negligence has elements that the plaintiff needs to prove to be successful in suing under negligence law:
Suing for damages is intended to put the harmed person in a financial position that existed before the accident and to pay for expenses caused by the accident. These are:
Delray Beach catastrophic injury lawyers will prepare a lawsuit alleging the negligent act after conducting a thorough investigation of the event and its consequences. A lawyer will interview, under penalty of perjury, everyone involved to use as testimony, and research legal precedent citing applicable Florida statutes and case law.
Although the attorney will prepare the case for trial, including handling motions along the way. Many personal injury civil cases are settled out of court with the defendant’s insurance carrier, which will attempt to limit the financial amount. But the attorney will negotiate from a position of strength to win the amount of damages sought.

The entire team did a great job with follow up and results. Special thanks to Tiffany!
I had to dismiss my prior attorney do to unprofessionalism, lack of follow up & inexperience. I decided to go with Ted DiSalvo with the Law Partnership of Kogan & DiSalvo. What a complete 180° difference! Not only is Ted highly experienced, but his Team is AMAZING! Everyone is super professional & caring!… THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING! The best part is the follow-up and guidance! It’s a huge relief knowing your part of a team that truly cares about YOU and your individual situation.
Thanks Kogan & DiSalvo

My case with Kogan and DiSalvo, was handled with the utmost seriousness and respect. Mr. George Bakalar, who lead my case from the beginning, along with Miss. Macy and Miss. Victoria were all outstanding individuals. They were able to resolve my case inline with all parameters discussed in my initial interview. More than expected they were personal and listened to all my concerns. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Have a great day and Enjoy!
Paul Silvestri and his team were great! They took care of everything and made the process stress free. Very pleased with my settlement. I highly recommend Paul Silvestri at Kogan & DiSalvo!
Jennifer was helpful, answered all of my questions and made the process simple.
I am very please on the outcome of my case with Kogan & DiSalvo. It took a while but the results are worth the wait. I want to also thank Amanda who did an outstanding job on my settlement with the crew.
Selecting an attorney is hard. I briefly worked with the “largest firm” and that was a complete mistake. Paul Silvestri of Kogan and DiSalvo immediately built confidence that I was with the “best” firm. He is strategic, smart, listens, takes times to evaluate facts, follows up, is very responsive, and makes you feel like you have a partner during a tough time. The firm has great technology, great support through the app. Christina B is very responsive when other firms never reply!!! Great experience, great firm, don’t go anywhere else!
A big truck sideswiped my car. I had two surgeries due to the accident. I had surgery on my neck and back. I would like to thank Jay London and Christina Bejarano for everything they did for me and my case. Jay and Christina provided outstanding service. They did a great job explaining each step along the way. I highly recommend Jay and Christina; they did a wonderful job.
