our approach handling a catastrophic
00:06
injury case i think is very similar
00:08
to handling any type of injury case
00:11
number one do a complete and total
00:13
investigation
00:14
right at the beginning the case that’s
00:16
why at the jackless law group we have
00:18
lawyers do all of the intakes
00:20
when you call my office you don’t get
00:22
pushed to some paralegal
00:23
it’s a lawyer who does nothing but
00:25
personal injury that gets all that
00:27
information in the beginning
00:28
the next thing we do is we try to get
00:30
the injured person
00:32
to a quality doctor that can speak
00:34
english
00:35
and can relate to a juror if the case
00:37
goes to trial
00:38
they can explain to the juror what the
00:40
injury is and why
00:42
this particular injury is going to have
00:44
an effect on this particular person
00:46
and then it’s just getting to know our
00:48
client so you can
00:49
relate to a jury and tell the jury how
00:52
this particular accident
00:54
has affected the lifestyle of each
00:57
individual client that we represent
00:59
so i don’t think it’s any different
01:00
between a catastrophic injury
01:02
and just a regular injury it’s the same
01:04
work that we do it’s the same
01:06
attention to the detail that we do in
01:08
every case

Baltimore, MD personal injury lawyer Rick Jaklitsch talks about his approach to handling catastrophic injury cases. He states that their approach to handling a catastrophic injury case is very similar to managing any personal injury matter. The first step is a complete and thorough investigation right at the outset. At the Jaklitsch Law Group, lawyers handle all client intakes themselves—when someone calls, they speak directly with a lawyer who focuses exclusively on personal injury, rather than being routed to a paralegal.
Next, they ensure the injured person is seen by a quality doctor who can communicate effectively in English and explain the injury clearly to a juror if the case goes to trial. This allows the jury to understand the injury and its impact on the client’s life.
Equally important is getting to know the client personally so the firm can present to the jury how the accident has affected their lifestyle. He emphasizes that there is no fundamental difference between catastrophic injuries and other injuries—the same meticulous work, attention to detail, and client focus apply in every case.
