Catastrophic accident

A catastrophic injury can affect every part of your life and require care for months or years. We build the strongest possible case so you can focus on your health while we pursue the compensation you need.

## Representation after a severe injury

A catastrophic injury is a severe injury, often to the brain or spinal cord, that has a major and lasting impact and requires substantial medical treatment. Recovery can take months or years, and the costs add up quickly.

These cases reward careful preparation. We work to establish who is responsible, document the full extent of your injuries and future needs, and pursue compensation that reflects both your current costs and the care you will require going forward.

## Focused on your recovery

Money cannot undo a catastrophic injury, but it can help you get the care you need and live with dignity and independence. We handle the legal work and the insurance company so you and your family can focus on what matters most.

Common questions

## Catastrophic accident FAQs

### What counts as a catastrophic injury?

There is no single definition, but the term generally refers to severe injuries with long-lasting effects, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, serious fractures, and severe burns. If your injury requires extensive treatment and changes your daily life, it may qualify.

### What compensation may be available?

Depending on the case, you may be able to recover medical costs, lost income and future earning capacity, the cost of ongoing care, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. We work to document every category of loss.

### How long do I have to file?

California sets deadlines for injury claims, and they vary by the type of claim and who is involved. Because some deadlines are short, it is important to speak with an attorney early. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
