A catastrophic injury has the power to change your physical appearance and ability. It can change your life instantly and prevent you from enjoying your preferred career and social activities. If another person’s negligence caused your life-changing injuries, a Miami catastrophic injury lawyer from our team can help you identify the negligent party and work to prove their financial liability.
At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, we can collect evidence, organize and submit it, and deal with all other issues related to the insurance company. We will also represent you in court if we cannot resolve your case with an insurance settlement. We’ll ensure your case gets the attention it needs and results in the best possible outcome for you.

If you suffered a catastrophic injury in one of these or another type of accident not listed above, a Miami catastrophic injury attorney from our team can help you seek compensation from the at-fault party.
Proving the At-Fault Party’s Negligence
To compel the at-fault party in your accident to compensate you, we will obtain evidence that establishes the legal components of negligence. These include:
- The at-fault party had a responsibility to provide you with a duty of care
- The at-fault party failed to comply with this responsibility
- This failure caused your physical injuries
- The accident and your injuries had financial consequences
Obtaining your medical records can be time-consuming, since they will likely come from multiple healthcare, rehabilitation, and therapeutic physicians and facilities. We will not add stress or frustration to your post-accident experience by asking you to obtain evidence. Instead, we’ll handle this process for you, so you focus on getting better.

Our legal team does more than ensure compliance with the statute of limitations exceptions. We’ll also ensure we account for any factors that may cause a fluctuation in your case’s filing deadline, per Florida Statutes § 95.051.
Evidence Collection
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court based on the weight and strength of the evidence. The evidence we collect in support of your catastrophic injury case may include:
- The accident report
- Accident scene photos
- Injury photos
- Medical records
- Salary history records
- Witness statements
- Written prognosis
- Your written statement
