Who May Be Responsible

Liability may involve:

A contractor or employer in workplace incidents
A product manufacturer
A government entity in certain cases

California follows a comparative fault system, and responsibility may be shared.

What to Do After a Catastrophic Injury

Medical care and stabilization should come first. In many cases, emergency responders will transport the injured person immediately. If it is safe and appropriate, steps may include:

Preserving information about the incident
Documenting the scene and available evidence
Keeping medical records and treatment information
Avoiding detailed statements to insurers early on
Seeking guidance as soon as possible

Early action can help preserve important evidence.

Potential Compensation

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

Medical care, surgeries, and hospitalization
Rehabilitation and long-term therapy
In-home or facility-based care
Home and vehicle modifications
Lost income and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional and psychological impacts
Loss of enjoyment of life
Out-of-pocket expenses

Claims involving public entities may have shorter deadlines. If your claim has been delayed or denied, insurance bad faith remedies may be available.

How These Cases Are Handled

Catastrophic injury cases require detailed preparation, including:

Investigating how the injury occurred
Reviewing medical records and treatment
Evaluating long-term care needs
Working with medical and economic experts
Documenting the full impact on daily life
Preparing for negotiation or litigation when necessary

Each case is handled with an understanding of how it will be evaluated and challenged.
