What Makes a Catastrophic Injury Case Different

Catastrophic injuries cause long-term or permanent changes to a person’s ability to function. These conditions often require emergency surgery, lengthy hospital stays, and extended rehabilitation. Many people need ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy. Furthermore, some need wheelchairs, home health aides, or modifications to their homes, such as ramps or bathroom changes. All of this care can be extremely expensive, and the costs often continue for years or for a lifetime.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputations
  • Severe burns
  • Vision or hearing loss
  • Fractures/broken bones
  • Paralysis
  • Internal organ/tissue damage

Catastrophic injuries also affect a person’s ability to work and provide for their family. Some people cannot return to their previous job, and some may not be able to work at all. Due to this, catastrophic claims require careful documentation of medical needs and a clear picture of how the injury has changed every aspect of life. Our serious injury lawyer in Santa Clarita works to present that full picture so that your claim reflects not only what has already happened, but also what you are likely to face in the future.

Compensation in a Catastrophic Injury Case

One of the most common questions we hear from families is how a catastrophic injury claim may help with mounting bills and future expenses. While every case is different, certain categories of compensation are often available when another party is legally responsible for the harm.

Economic & Non-Economic Damages

Economic damages cover financial losses that can be measured. 

These may include: 

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Prescription medications
  • Medical equipment costs
  • Home modification costs
  • Caregiver costs
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning capacity

Non-economic damages address the emotional and psychological aspects of a catastrophic injury. 

These may involve:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of quality of life

Our firm has recovered over one billion dollars for injured clients, and we draw on that experience when evaluating the potential value of catastrophic injury claims. Although no attorney can predict a specific outcome, we can explain the types of damages that may apply in your situation and work to pursue the strongest claim available based on the evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Will Your Attorneys Help My Family After a Catastrophic Injury?

Our serious injury attorneys in Santa Clarita help by taking on the legal and insurance issues so you can focus on medical care and your family. We start by listening carefully to what happened and how the injury has affected your life, then we investigate the incident, gather records, and identify the parties who may be responsible. We communicate with insurance companies on your behalf, help organize medical documentation, and work to build a clear picture of your current and future needs. 

Will I Work Directly With an Attorney on My Case?

Yes. One of the key differences at Accident Attorneys is that clients work directly with an attorney. This approach is especially important in catastrophic injury cases, where the facts are complex and the stakes are high. Direct access to your Santa Clarita catastrophic injury lawyer helps you feel heard and allows us to understand the full impact of your injury on your daily life.

What If My Loved One Cannot Speak for Themselves After an Injury?

If your loved one is unconscious, heavily sedated, or otherwise unable to communicate, a close family member can often help start the legal process. Our catastrophic injury attorney in Santa Clarita can talk with you about your relationship to the injured person and what documents may be needed to act on their behalf.

  • What is the minimum amount for a personal injury settlement?

    There is no minimum amount of money allowed for a personal injury settlement; every case is determined by the unique facts surrounding the claim. Additionally, most jurisdictions do not have a cap on the amount of my money that you can receive through a personal injury settlement.

    In California, the amount of money that you can receive for noneconomic damages (pain, suffering, etc.) for a medical malpractice case is limited to $250,000; however, other injury settlements are not subject to this restriction.

  • How will I receive my personal injury settlement?

    If you file a claim against an individual, his / her insurance company is probably aware of the judgment. If the insurance is unaware of the settlement, you can notify the insurer. At this point, the insurance provider should issue a check for the settlement.

    If the responsible party does not have insurance, you may need to enter the settlement with the court. The court has the authority to enforce the judgment if the responsible party refuses to pay.

  • How much is my personal injury case worth?

    Every case is different. A variety of circumstances determine the value of your claim. Property damage, medical expenses, hospitalization fees, pain, and suffering, missed wages, and many other factors can affect the outcome of your case.

    You can even collect damages for future unemployment / missed wages and ongoing medical costs. Speak with a member of the legal team at Accident Attorneys to learn more about the potential value of your case.
