Navigating Clients Through Catastrophic Injury Claims in Los Angeles County

Injuries are bad enough when you are able to recover and return to normal life. When a serious injury takes away your ability to work and live normally, however, you may feel hopeless. While we understand this feeling, the Claypool Law Firm is here to tell you that there is always hope.

Our dedicated Pasadena attorney can help you move forward after catastrophic injuries. Not only will our firm help you hold the person who harmed you liable, but we will also fight for fair compensation so you can gain access to the resources you need to live a full life. In complex cases, the firm does not hesitate to partner with other exceptional lawyers in this practice area to develop the best team possible to achieve justice for the victim.

In most lawsuits, there is a statute of limitations, a time limit set by the state in which time you must file your case or risk your case being thrown out. California law states that the statute of limitations in personal injury cases is two years. It is important that you file your claim sooner rather than later since there is time-sensitive evidence that could have a great impact on your case. Following any accident, it is important that you get witness information and take photos at the scene of the accident, if possible, to serve as support for your case.

Are you suffering from a catastrophic injury? Call Claypool Law Firm today at (626) 602-1333 or contact us online to schedule a consultation with our catastrophic injury attorney in Pasadena.

What Makes an Injury Catastrophic?

According to Title 34 of the United States Code (§10284), a catastrophic injury is any injury that “permanently prevents [you] from performing any gainful work.

In some cases, we can extend this definition to cover other aspects of your life. If you were an avid surfer before your injury, for example, and you cannot surf afterward, we may be able to argue that your injury was catastrophic in nature.

When it comes to civil litigation, we consider catastrophic injuries differently because of the damages involved. If you suffer a catastrophic injury, you will be unable to work, and you will likely require lifelong assistance and medical care, as well.

Recoverable Damages in a Catastrophic Injury Case

Damages in a catastrophic injury case can help you recover:

  • Missed wages
  • Lost earning potential
  • All medical expenses
  • The costs of rehabilitative care
  • Assistive devices and caretaking
  • Pain and suffering
  • Changes to your quality of life
  • And more

For maximum independence and well-being, you will likely need a team of specialists and caretakers. Hiring these individuals does not come cheap, which is why the money you recover can make all the difference.
