Southern California Personal Injury
A catastrophic injury is one that fundamentally alters the course of a person’s life. These are not ordinary cases, and they demand a litigator who understands both the medicine and the law. At Petrosian Law, PC, we represent individuals and families facing the most serious injuries — and we build cases that account for a lifetime of consequences, not just today’s medical bills.
Catastrophic injury cases often involve future medical care, long-term rehabilitation, lost earning capacity over a lifetime, and profound non-economic losses. Properly valuing these damages frequently requires medical experts, life-care planners, and economists. Insurance companies know how much is at stake — and they fight hard to minimize it. We build the evidence and the expert support needed to pursue the strongest possible case for your recovery.
Recoverable damages may include:
These cases require resources, judgment, and a willingness to go the distance. Vick V. Petrosian approaches every catastrophic injury matter with the depth of preparation it demands — and the understanding that for your family, the outcome is everything.
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free and confidential.
Generally, a catastrophic injury is one with long-term or permanent consequences — such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burn, or amputation — that significantly affects a person’s ability to work, function, or live as they did before. These cases require accounting for a lifetime of impact, not just immediate medical costs.
Valuing a lifetime of consequences often requires input from medical specialists, life-care planners, and economists who can document future care needs and lost earning capacity. Building this expert support is central to presenting the full picture of what you and your family have lost.
Petrosian Law, PC works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fees upfront and no fees at all unless we recover compensation in your case, so you can focus on recovery rather than legal bills.
Because these cases involve serious injuries, significant damages, and often disputed liability, they can take longer than routine claims. Every case is different, and during your consultation we can give you a better sense of what to expect based on your specific situation.
Every consultation is free and confidential. You pay no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation for you.
