Catastrophic injuries result from many types of accidents. When negligence or recklessness is involved, victims may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim.
Some of the most common causes include:
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents are among the biggest causes of catastrophic injuries in California. High-speed collisions, rollovers, and head-on impacts can result in devastating physical trauma.
Certain industries—like construction, agriculture, and oilfields—pose serious risks. Falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, and industrial explosions often lead to life-altering injuries.
Falls, especially from elevated surfaces or on dangerous premises, can lead to serious spinal or head injuries, particularly among older adults.
Dangerous or malfunctioning products—whether they are vehicles, power tools, or medical devices—can cause severe injuries when manufacturers fail to ensure safety.
Local, state, and federal governments can be held liable for unsafe road conditions, premises liability, employee negligence, or police misconduct that results in a serious injury.

Punitive damages are sometimes awarded in cases with egregious misconduct, such as drunk driving or corporate negligence, to deter similar behavior in the future.

Speak to a catastrophic accident lawyer as soon as possible after a serious injury. Early legal help ensures critical evidence is preserved and deadlines are met.
These cases involve complex medical and financial issues, and insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. A skilled lawyer can assess the full value of your claim, coordinate with medical experts, and fight for the compensation you need for lifelong care.
Our personal injury lawyers help by handling all aspects of your claim after an accident. We gather evidence, investigate the incident, and negotiate with insurance companies for maximum compensation. If needed, we represent you in court.
We aim to protect your rights and take over all legal duties so you can focus on recovery.
Our catastrophic injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront.
First, we listen to the details of your case and tell you whether you have a claim for compensation under California law. If you hire us, you don’t pay us until the end of the case when you receive a settlement. We are paid with a percentage of your settlement or court award. If your case is unsuccessful, you usually owe nothing, making legal help risk-free.
Victims of various kinds of accidents can benefit from a consultation with our catastrophic injury attorneys. If you have questions about filing a lawsuit after a serious accident, this is an excellent time to contact us.
