Contra Costa Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Catastrophic Injury

Many American families and individuals don't have a detailed understanding of what constitutes catastrophic injury. Catastrophic injury includes a broad range of events and situations and is a general category of personal injury law that refers to the extent of injury as well as its cause.

As a more general personal injury category, catastrophic injury can take many forms. Legal professionals often identify common kinds of catastrophic injury as including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, injuries to vision, burns and other major injuries. At Balamuth Harrington, LLP, our Northern California personal injury lawyers understand how these kinds of injuries can seriously affect the lifestyle of a victim and how to proceed with securing the compensation that the victim deserves.

Each type of catastrophic injury has its own particular causes and contributory events. A large number of catastrophic injury cases involve some type of equipment. In these cases, for example, when a machine malfunctions, product liability can play a role in a catastrophic injury case. In other cases, negligence in maintaining equipment may be a factor.

Negligence is also a major factor in catastrophic injuries that involve any unforeseen environmental incident where the coincidence of an unsafe condition and a catalytic event causes harm to a victim. In many cases, catastrophic injury lawyers can point to the conditions that led to an unfortunate personal injury and build a case based on research.
