What Our Clients Say About Working With Us

Frequently Asked Questions About Catastrophic Injury

This guide explains what “catastrophic” means, how claims are built, and what timelines and costs to expect. It’s general information, not legal advice.

What is a catastrophic injury?

An injury that causes long-term or permanent limits—such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, paralysis, amputation, severe burns, or vision/hearing loss.

How are damages calculated?

We account for current and future medical care, rehabilitation, in-home support, medical equipment, home/work accommodations, lost income and earning capacity, and non-economic harm.

What if I’m partly at fault?

You may still recover under California’s comparative fault rules. Your compensation can be reduced by your share of responsibility, but your claim may remain viable.

How soon should I act?

Deadlines apply, and key evidence can fade. Contact us as soon as possible so we can preserve proof and protect your rights.
