Catastrophic injury accidents strike like lightning: mercilessly, and
without warning. In the blink of an eye, your life or the life of a loved
one can be turned upside down. Recovering from the trauma of a catastrophic
injury can take weeks or even months. For some types of catastrophic injury,
full recovery is simply not possible.
Our Orange County accident attorneys will fight for a settlement you deserve and will be there to help you through this tough time. We handle catastrophic injury lawsuits in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino.
Catastrophic Injury Accident Causes
Work-related accidents are very likely to cause catastrophic injury.
Construction accidents killed over 1,100 workers in 2005. For every worker
killed, many more were seriously injured, especially if they used power
tools, motorized equipment, or lifts. Chemical exposure and fire can cause
lasting physical pain and scarring.
Catastrophic injuries are not limited to the workplace. Traffic accidents
can easily cause amputations, severe brain injury, or spinal cord injury
and paralysis. Fire and chemical burns are also possible in a car crash.
Even the home can be a stage for a catastrophic injury accident. Poorly
maintained stairs in a rental property can lead to devastating falls.
Old wiring can deliver debilitating shocks, and can even spark a house
fire.
Living With a Catastrophic Injury
A victim of a catastrophic injury faces a long and painful period of
physical rehabilitation. For some victims with extensive scarring or neurological
damage, full recovery will never be an option.
As their bodies heal, catastrophic injury victims also face the challenge
of healing emotionally and mentally. Overcoming the trauma of the accident
is often only the first step. For many, the stark realization of the fundamental
damage done to their lives leads to fear, depression, and even anger.
A Catastrophic Injury Affects Everyone
Although the victim bears the highest costs of a catastrophic accident,
he or she is not the only person who suffers. The victim’s family
and loved ones also bear the burden of catastrophic injuries.
The emotional strain of providing care and the fear and uncertainty engendered
by any traumatic injury are prices paid by the families of catastrophic
accident victims. Everyone suffers in the aftermath of a catastrophic
injury accident: spouses, parents, loved ones, and children.
