If a person or third party can be found responsible for a catastrophic injury, they can be held accountable for any losses the victim suffered. Examples of this include drivers found liable for the victim's injuries due to careless driving while impaired, distracted or speeding, or a property owner being held accountable for any injuries sustained on their premises. Also, the makers of any products found to be defective can be held financially responsible for a person's injuries. It's important to talk with an attorney to see if your situation is similar to one described above. It's important to note, however, that if you suffered a catastrophic injury at work, then your medical expenses and lost wages should be covered by your employer (or their insurance company) under Georgia workers' compensation law. These benefits are owed regardless of who was liable for the injury.
