We Handle the Full Range of Catastrophic Injury Claims in California

Our law firm represents clients across all types of catastrophic injury cases. Regardless of the nature and severity of the injuries that our clients or their loved ones are dealing with, we are prepared to review the case during a free, comprehensive initial consultation. Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries reported in California include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs);
  • Loss of limb (amputation);
  • Severe scarring and/or disfigurement;
  • Hearing loss or vision loss;
  • Severe burn injuries; and
  • Spinal cord damage (paralysis).
  • Catastrophic injuries can occur in a wide range of different circumstances—from car accidents and commercial truck accidents to defective products and medical negligence. What is needed to establish liability in a catastrophic injury claim depends on many factors, including the specific nature of the accident.

    What to Do in the Event of a Catastrophic Injury

    Here are four steps to take to get you started in the recovery process:

    1. Emergency Medical Attention: All catastrophic injuries—spinal cord damage, severe TBIs, etc—require immediate emergency medical attention. In some cases, immediate medical intervention can make a significant difference.
    2. Report and Document the Accident: Catastrophic accidents should be reported to the appropriate parties. For example, a serious tractor-trailer accident in Huntington Beach should be reported to law enforcement, the trucking company, and all insurance carriers.
    3. Get Ongoing and Follow-Up Care: Catastrophic injuries require ongoing and follow-up care. A victim may even need life-lasting medical and/or rehabilitative services.
    4. Consult With a Huntington Beach Catastrophic Injury Lawyer: Catastrophic injury claims are complex. Injured victims and their families do not have to go up against defendants and insurance companies alone. Call a Huntington Beach, CA catastrophic accident attorney for help with a potential case.

    Special Consideration in a Catastrophic Injury Case

    There are specialized considerations in catastrophic injury claims. One of the things that make catastrophic accident cases unique is that the victim often has ongoing medical requirements and extensive intangible (non-economic) damages. The full extent of the victim’s damages, including long-term medical care, rehabilitative services, pain and suffering, and permanent disfigurement or disability should be included in catastrophic injury claims where applicable.
