Catastrophic Injury Lawyer San Diego, CA

Catastrophic injuries, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, amputation, severe burns, loss of vision, or  fractures, demand a broader strategy than ordinary claims. A San Diego catastrophic injury lawyer aligns medical, functional, and economic evidence to show the full cost of adapting to a new normal. Beyond immediate treatment, we look at durable medical equipment, home and vehicle modifications, caretaker needs, and psychological support for anxiety, depression, or PTSD that often follows severe trauma. Our severe injury lawyer coordinates with treating physicians and, when appropriate, life-care planners, vocational professionals, and economists to quantify future needs credibly and to identify every responsible party and coverage source early.

The medical file must be thorough and organized. We compile imaging, surgical reports, therapy notes, neuropsychological testing, for TBI, pain-management records, and provider restrictions on lifting, posture, or concentration. Our critical injury lawyer also tracks longitudinal progress, range-of-motion charts, functional capacity evaluations, and updated restrictions, so decision-makers see how limitations persist over time. We connect that proof to daily impact: why you need modified work or ADA accommodations, assistive technology, home health help, transportation solutions, or residential modifications like ramps, widened doors, or roll-in showers. We then model future care, medication, procedures, equipment replacement cycles, attendant care, and translate it into clear, supportable numbers that can withstand scrutiny.

Because catastrophic injuries touch every part of life, we document wage loss and future earning capacity with employer statements and vocational analysis, and we capture non-economic harm, sleep disruption, cognitive changes, scarring, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment, with evidence, not adjectives. Our catastrophic injury attorney also accounts for household services you can no longer provide, caregiver respite, and, when appropriate, loss of consortium. Throughout, communication stays predictable: a timeline tied to treatment, a checklist that respects your bandwidth, and periodic status updates in plain English. We help manage liens, health insurance, Medicare/ERISA, discuss structured-settlement options where useful, and keep your file moving so medical recovery and legal recovery advance together.
