Serious and catastrophic injuries present challenges to each and every aspect of daily living.  Major injuries often leave people in constant pain for the rest of their lives, and even minor tasks that were once easy to perform, become hard to accomplish or even impossible.  In short, our personal injury attorneys in San Diego know from experience that catastrophic injuries have a major impact on the rest of your life.

Injuries are considered "catastrophic" when the physical injuries to a person are severe and require extensive medical treatment.  Major injuries often involve damage to your central nervous system, and this affects every other body function.

Catastrophic injuries often lead to lifetime of medical treatment -- which causes high medical bills -- and sometimes take away your ability to walk or talk and an inability to work -- which will cause you loss of earnings.  Only by hiring an experienced San Diego personal injury lawyer can you ensure that you or a loved one will get justice for any catastrophic injury you endure as a result of someone else’s carelessness.  You can make that happen by filing a personal injury claim.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries
