Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burns and amputations change lives permanently. These cases involve lifetime care costs, and the lawyer you choose needs the resources to prove them.

Why resources matter
Proving the full cost of a catastrophic injury usually requires life-care planners, economists, medical experts and vocational specialists. Firms that handle these cases need the capital to advance expert costs for what can be a long case, and the trial experience to push for fair value rather than accepting an early offer.
Damages that may be at stake
Recoverable losses can include past and future medical care, home modifications, lost earning capacity, and non-economic damages such as pain and loss of enjoyment of life. Many catastrophic injury cases are also complicated by liens from health insurers, Medi-Cal or Medicare, which a lawyer should address as part of any settlement.
Time limits
In California the general deadline for personal injury suits is two years from injury, shorter for claims against public entities. Because the full extent of an injury can take time to understand, speak to a lawyer early.
