Some injuries never fully heal. A catastrophic injury can affect every part of your life—from your ability to work to how you care for yourself or your family. These are not just personal injury cases. They are life cases. If someone else’s negligence left you permanently injured, you deserve more than a quick settlement or vague promises from an insurance company.

Whether your injuries were caused by a car crash, a fall on dangerous property, or a medical error, we are here to make sure you are not left to manage the consequences alone.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries go far beyond broken bones or temporary pain. These are serious, often permanent conditions that limit your physical or cognitive abilities. You may need ongoing medical care, assistive devices, in-home help, or modifications to your home and vehicle.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Severe burns or disfigurement
- Loss of limbs (amputations)
- Permanent vision or hearing loss
- Multiple fractures with long-term impairment
These cases require a detailed understanding of both the legal and medical challenges involved. Our team works with medical professionals, life care planners, and economists to make sure the full impact of your injuries is reflected in your claim.
Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in Los Angeles
We represent clients who have suffered life-altering injuries in a wide range of situations. Some of the most common causes include:
- High-speed car accidents and truck crashes
- Motorcycle and bicycle collisions
- Pedestrian injuries in urban intersections
- Construction site falls and machinery incidents
- Unsafe property conditions in public or commercial buildings
- Surgical errors or delayed diagnosis
- Defective products, including medical devices or industrial tools
Each case is different. What they all have in common is that someone’s failure to act safely left you to carry the burden.
How We Build a Strong Catastrophic Injury Case
Insurance companies are often quick to question or minimize serious injuries, especially when the full effects are not immediately visible. That is why we work quickly and thoroughly to build a case that reflects both your current and future needs.
Our attorneys will:
- Gather medical records, diagnostic imaging, and physician evaluations
- Consult with neurologists, orthopedists, and rehabilitation specialists
- Work with vocational experts to assess your future work limitations
- Partner with life care planners to estimate long-term care and equipment costs
- Document emotional and psychological effects such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD
We take every step necessary to show the full scope of your losses, not just the expenses on paper.
Financial Recovery After a Catastrophic Injury
In California, you are entitled to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. This may include:
- Emergency medical expenses and hospital stays
- Future medical care, therapies, and in-home assistance
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
We know how to push back when insurers offer low settlements or deny responsibility. Our goal is not just to win your case—it is to make sure you have the resources you need to move forward with dignity.
Wrongful Death and Catastrophic Injury
In some cases, a catastrophic injury ultimately leads to the loss of life. When that happens, we help families file wrongful death claims to pursue justice on behalf of their loved one. We know these cases are deeply personal, and we handle them with the respect and seriousness they deserve.
