What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury in California?

Whether you were in a car accident on I-15 in Escondido or slipped and fell at a store in Temecula, a catastrophic injury is any injury that can permanently, or for an extended period, affect your ability to work and live. It is an injury that impacts your health, mobility, career, and relationships. Such injuries include the following:

These injuries often take months to years to recover from their effects. In some tragic instances, accident victims never fully recover and are left with a disabling condition affecting the rest of their lives. Additionally, the medical care, rehabilitation, home modifications, and on-going nursing costs are astronomical, leaving families with a financial burden they may never be able to pay off.

Thankfully, California law allows you as a catastrophic injury victim to seek compensation from the negligent party to your injuries. Our catastrophic injury lawyers serving California can meet with you and discuss how your accident occurred and what we can do to help you and your family recoup the losses you have experienced.

Compensation for Your Catastrophic Injury in California

You have a right to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses following the accident that caused your catastrophic injuries. We can help.

How Is Potential Compensation Determined for a Catastrophic Injury?

Determining the overall cost and impact of a catastrophic injury is not always an easy task, and it often requires the help of many professionals. You may be eligible to receive damages for the following losses:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment in life
  • Loss of consortium

A California catastrophic injury lawyer will work with doctors, physical therapists, vocational counselors, accountants, and other professionals to help assess the severity of your injuries and the duration of your recovery.

When Is a Person Entitled to Recover for Their Injuries?

Whenever a person has been injured because of another person’s negligence, they are generally entitled to recover for their injuries. For your case to be a valid personal injury claim, we must prove four key elements:

  • Duty of care
  • Breach of duty
  • Causation
  • Damages

We prove these elements of negligence with evidence, such as:

  • Incident or police reports
  • Medical records
  • Eyewitness testimonies
  • Expert witness testimonies
  • Photographic and video evidence
  • Financial statements

Our law firm will explain how our California catastrophic injury lawyers will approach your case and develop a personalized strategy that is suited to your needs.

Could You Recover Compensation If You Were Partially At Fault?

Under CCP § 1714, the state follows a pure comparative negligence system for all personal injuries, including catastrophic injuries. Under a pure comparative negligence system, everyone who has been injured because of another’s negligence is entitled to recover for their injuries.

Therefore, even if a party is 99 percent at fault for a catastrophic accident and injury, that person may still be entitled to recover for the one percent of fault shared by the other person or people involved in the accident.
