Testimonials

Upon my first enrollment through the firm being new to my case, I endured reassurance through self doubt, consistent communication, informative advice , uplifting encouragement, customer/client satisfaction, followed by case completion. Even through the timely challenge's encountered with the process I received professionalism, educational mentorship, suggestions of rational decisions to my case due to it being very difficult from the other insurer. This firm has done what was asked plus more for my case. I totally recommend to any inquiry that inquires. Upon my dismissal of the case I did endure time sensitive paperwork from the other insurer without acknowledgement but also being followed with the firm by correspondence and correction due to them . Following after case being closed a conclusion and informative discussion call was held for the completion needed for records .For my whole experience even while being challenging, still successful. This firm couldn’t have been more great!

When a young member of my staff was in an accident that totaled her car, I referred her to Tshai and helped her understand the process that she was embarking on. Tshai was the consummate professional who kept my colleague informed, made sure she made her medical appointments and followed their expert medical advice on a path to healing. Tshai's expertise is beyond question and her attention to detail precise. Her settlement was very fair and needless to say, her financial remuneration was very much appreciated and help my staff member immensely. I will continue to recommend my friends, co-workers and family to Tshai, and should I ever need her services, she will unquestionably be the one I will call.

Working with Tshai's Law office was such a delightful experience from start to finish! Excellent customer service and prompt communication was exactly what I needed in handling my car accident case in October 2024. After my previous attorney gave me the run around, I'm glad all needs were met here! My case manager Mercedes B. exceeded my expectations and left no question unanswered. Overall all I highly recommend the Law Office of Tshai Budhi Henry, thank me later!

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a severe, life-altering injury that causes long-term or permanent impairment or disability. These injuries often affect your independence, your ability to work, and your ability to enjoy the activities that used to be part of your daily life. Examples of catastrophic injuries may include:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries that result in loss of sensation or partial or complete paralysis
Multiple complex bone fractures or crush injuries that result in chronic pain and mobility limitations
Loss of limbs or amputations
Severe burns that cause scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, or loss of function
Partial or complete loss of vision or hearing
Internal organ damage

These injuries often require extensive and sometimes lifelong medical care. The physical, emotional, and financial losses that survivors face can be substantial, and these cases demand meticulous investigation and preparation to successfully recover the compensation needed for long-term care.

What Are Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries?

At Summit Legal Team, many of the New York catastrophic injury cases we handle result from serious crashes and dangerous property conditions, including:

Motor vehicle accidents
Premises liability accidents, like slip and falls
Pedestrian accidents

Investigating the accident. We conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, working with accident reconstruction experts when needed, to gather critical evidence and establish liability. We explore every potentially liable party and every applicable insurance policy to maximize your claim.
Building your claim. We partner with medical providers, life-care planners, vocational experts, and other experts to understand the full extent of your damages, your long-term needs, and calculate their value. At the same time, we handle communication with insurance companies, manage paperwork, and track important deadlines so you are not left to deal with any of it on your own.
Negotiating or litigating your case. We build your case as if it will go before a jury, then use that preparation to push for a settlement that truly reflects your losses. If the insurance company refuses to be fair, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and fight in court for your right to full compensation.
