Types Of Catastrophic Injuries From Accidents

Accidents can result in various types of catastrophic injuries that require lifelong medical care. I have helped clients fight for compensation for their:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns
• Amputations
• Internal organ damage
• Multiple fractures
• Permanent disfigurement

These injuries can have a profound impact on your life and your ability to work and enjoy everyday activities. They can be the cause of severe emotional distress. As a seasoned litigator, I can help you negotiate a settlement with insurance companies or fight for you to recover damages by taking your case to trial. I want to help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.

How Is Fault Determined In A California Personal Injury Case?

Determining fault in a California personal injury case involves proving that the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries. This includes proving:

• That the wrongdoer had a duty of care.
• The wrongdoer breached that duty.
• Their actions and breach of duty directly caused your injuries.
• You suffered damages as a result of your accident injuries.

In a successful personal injury case, an experienced personal injury lawyer will gather evidence and connect all the steps to prove that you deserve compensation for your damages and loss.

In addition, the state of California is an at-fault state for car accidents. This means that the person who caused a car crash will have to pay for the damages and losses incurred by others. If your own actions contributed to the accident, your ability to recover damages will be reduced by the percentage you were found to be at fault for the accident. As long as you weren’t more than 50% at fault for the accident, you might be able to recover compensation.
