Catastrophic Injuries

Get the compensation you need and deserve following a life-altering catastrophic injury.

Catastrophic injuries can have a devastating effect on accident victims and their families. If you have been seriously hurt, you might find yourself facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, plus the prospect of a life of lingering pain and/or disability.

Catastrophic Injuries Require Special Attention

Catastrophic injuries may result in spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burn injuries, or dismemberment.

These types of injuries require special knowledge of medical issues and compensation, as well as the resources to adequately handle these cases. Many of these cases require life care plans that involve hiring numerous health care professionals like doctors, nurses, psychiatrist, and prosthetic professionals.

Orange County Litigators has the resources and money to hire these professionals to put forward a compelling case on your behalf. Many times these experts and other associated costs are in excess of $100,000. You can trust our firm to be ready to spend the money needed to prepare your case when warranted.

We Will Fight for the Compensation You Need & Deserve

Because we have ample experience and resources in catastrophic injury cases, we know how to quantify your damages completely and appropriately, relying on input from medical experts as needed. We will not overlook any possible areas of compensation! Instead we will fight for you to receive maximum compensation to cover:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Ongoing rehabilitation costs
  • Prosthetic devices
  • Loss of past and future income

  • Accommodations for your home

Vehicle Accident

Underinsured motorist coverage operates a little differently than uninsured motorist coverage. Under this insurance, which is purchased at the same time and INCLUDED with your uninsured motorist coverage, simply means that if the at-fault driver has insurance but it is not enough to cover all of your damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost of wages, and medical bills, you can recover the difference between your damages and the at-fault driver’s lower insurance. Underinsurance coverage works in the following way: If you get into an accident and you have uninsured/ underinsurance coverage, lets say for $50,000.00, but the at-fault driver only has $15,000.00 of coverage, the underinsurance coverage allows you to recover the difference between your underinsurance coverage ($50,000.00) and the $15,000.00 that the at-fault driver has. Therefore, under these circumstances, your net additional benefit that you would be entitled to is $35,000.00.

California is known to be one of the highest states for drivers that are uninsured and don’t carry liability insurance. When an accident occurs and the at-fault driver is uninsured, you still may be able to get compensation for your damages, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and medical expenses. The way to get this is through uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist protection is part of YOUR insurance policy when you buy liability insurance. When you buy liability insurance, your agent will ask you if you want uninsured motorist protection. Buying this coverage is very important. In short, it means that if you get into an accident and the at-fault driver has no insurance, you can collect against your own insurance company for your damages up to the policy limits of your uninsured motorist protection. In our experience, your premium for your insurance will not be increased by availing yourself with this coverage.

Uninsured/underinsured coverage is probably that most important insurance you can purchase, and is relatively inexpensive. California law requires auto insurance companies to offer you this type of insurance.

California is known to be one of the highest states for drivers that are uninsured and don’t carry liability insurance. When an accident occurs and the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may not be able to get compensation for any damages, which includes pain, suffering, or damage to your vehicle. However, there is insurance coverage called uninsured motorist protection. If you buy this particular coverage from your insurance company, this means you can either recover damages for your physical injuries or the property damage from your own insurance company.

General Personal Injury

The amount of compensation available in your case will depend on the nature of the injuries and property damage you have suffered. As your auto accident attorney, we will make sure all your damages are thoroughly documented and then fight aggressively for you to receive full and fair compensation. Areas of compensation include:

  • Past and future medical costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lost income
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Property damage

Whenever possible, we strive to resolve auto accident injury claims in negotiations with the insurance companies, as this puts cash in our clients’ hands quickly, right when they need it. However, we are also exceptional litigators with jury trial experience and we will fight for your best interests in court if needed.

Absolutely. We work on a contingency basis. We offer no-risk representation to individuals with valid personal injury claims. We will cover all the costs associated with preparing your case, and you will not have to reimburse us or pay our legal fee until we win compensation for you.

In most types of personal injury accidents, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, you will want to contact a personal injury attorney for representation much sooner, so that we can preserve the evidence in your case and have ample time to prepare our arguments. Often, we are able to settle personal injury claims out of court so that you can receive your compensation faster.
