These severe injuries can result in permanent damage and can prevent the injured individual from working, carrying out normal daily activities, and participating in the activities they once enjoyed. These injuries are commonly the result of severe damage to the spinal cord or brain, which can impact a person’s functionality. A catastrophic injury can result in the loss of cognitive function, the ability to walk, or the loss of a limb.

How Can a California Catastrophic Injury Attorney Help?

Dealing with the aftermath of an accident can be frustrating and overwhelming, with the insurance company or defense attorney fighting you every step of the way, looking for any reason to minimize payout or point the finger at you. 

When you hire a catastrophic injury lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm, they can evaluate the facts of your case and conduct an in-depth investigation to determine why the accident occurred and who should be held liable. These injuries often result in steep ongoing medical bills, which is why it’s important to file a claim and pursue compensation as soon as possible. While you focus on recovering and moving forward with your life, your catastrophic injury lawyer will handle every aspect of your claim, fighting for the fair compensation that will allow you to receive vital medical treatment now and in the future. 

Other ways a catastrophic injury attorney on our legal team can help during this challenging time include:

  • Investigating the accident
  • Gathering evidence
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Consulting with experts
  • Filing paperwork
  • Handling all communication with the insurance company or defense attorney
  • Negotiating a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit, if necessary
  • Representing you in court

During this challenging time, our goal is to make the entire legal process as low-stress as possible. We want you to focus on your recovery as we fight for the maximum compensation you’re owed.

What Compensation Can I Recover After Sustaining a Catastrophic Injury?

Your California catastrophic injury attorney cannot guarantee an exact settlement amount, but they will work with experts, such as medical professionals, life care planners, surgeons, and other experts, to ensure your damages are accurately calculated and you pursue every penny of compensation you’re entitled to.
In some cases, the victim of a catastrophic injury can recover compensation for the following types of economic and non-economic damages:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Past and future medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Loss of consortium
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability
  • Scarring and disfigurement

Because these injuries often require costly, lifelong medical treatment, it’s important to work with a catastrophic injury lawyer who will have the skills and resources to determine what your claim may be worth. Obtaining compensation that will cover the cost of future medical care is essential. This will allow you to continue to receive vital medical care for years to come. At the Ibrahim Law Firm, our legal team works closely with:

  • Life care planners
  • Economists
  • Forensic accountants
  • General practitioners
  • Specialists
  • Physical therapists
  • Occupational therapists
  • Surgeons

And other professionals to ensure your damages are accurately valued.

Catastrophic Injury Statute Of Limitations

In California, you will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you fail to file before the deadline, your case may be dismissed, preventing you from recovering any compensation for your accident-related damages. Pursuing compensation after sustaining a life-changing injury can be overwhelming, which is why it’s so important that you reach out to an experienced catastrophic injury lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm as soon as possible. They will handle every aspect of your case, including ensuring a lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations.
