What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic personal injury occurs when the victim is injured severely due to the accident caused by another third party. If you have been severely injured in an accident because of the negligence of another party, you should not have to pay for all your injuries alone. Both California and Nevada laws allow you to seek compensation from the at-fault party for any catastrophic injuries you have suffered. For more information, contact our top-rated California catastrophic injury attorneys today for a free no risk consultation. During this consultation, we will determine the type of injuries you have suffered, and who the liable parties are in your accident.

It is very important that we gather as much information as possible regarding the catastrophic injury accident to make sure that we seek maximum compensation for your injuries. Catastrophic injuries have lifelong effects on a person’s life, and may even make it impossible to return back to normal life. For example, catastrophic personal injury could result in permanent disabilities. Permanent disabilities not only affect the injured victim, but also their family since there may be a need for at home care.

Examples Of Catastrophic Personal Injury Lawsuits

There are several different legal theories you may use to pursue a catastrophic personal injury lawsuit. Examples include:

• Product liability lawsuits: this occurs when you have sustained a catastrophic injury due to a defective product. In product liability lawsuits, you may be able to hold the product manufacturer and products retailer liable for injuries caused by the products. There are three ways you can prove a defective product, which include defective design, defective manufacturing, and defective warranties.
• Negligence lawsuits: this is one of the most common types of lawsuits in catastrophic personal injury cases in California. This requires that the plaintiff, also known as the injured victim, prove that the defendant had a duty to the plaintiff, the defendant failed to act within the standard of care, the defendant caused the plaintiff to suffer catastrophic injuries, the plaintiff now has damages they are suffering from.
• Premises liability lawsuits: this occurs when you have suffered catastrophic injuries on another persons’ property. Premises liability allows you to seek compensation from landowners and property operators for any injuries that have occurred on their land. The plaintiff needs to show that the landowner had a duty to keep the land in a reasonably safe condition, yet failed to do so.
