What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury in California?
A catastrophic injury is a life-changing event that causes severe and permanent disability to you in some manner. Most of the time, these injuries interfere with your ability to care for your day-to-day needs alone, live on your own, or work as you were. Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries involved in personal injury claims include:
- Spinal cord damage resulting in partial or total paralysis
- Head trauma resulting in traumatic brain damage leading to physical and cognitive impairment
- Vision or hearing loss
- Severe burns or scarring resulting in significant disfigurement
- Amputations to the arms, legs, hands, or feet
If you need ongoing care, can no longer do the work you were, or lost your independence, allow our California catastrophic injury lawyers to review your case. There is no obligation to work with us, but we can explain your rights.
How Is Potential Compensation Determined in a Catastrophic Claim in California?
California personal injury victims may seek compensation for all losses they have, including economic and non-economic damages. This includes:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Future medical needs
- Ongoing health care support and needs
- Medications
- Modifications to your home
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
California law does not specify a single method for calculating all losses in these cases. However, it is typical for insurance companies and attorneys to negotiate non-economic damages based on the severity of the injuries and the impact those injuries have on the victim’s life.
Catastrophic injuries will require the highest level of compensation because ongoing support is typically necessary. A comprehensive negotiation process becomes critical to assessing the losses owed to you in these cases.
