Santa Monica Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

When an Injury Changes Everything

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently changes a person’s life, such as a spinal cord injury, severe brain injury, amputation, or major burns. These injuries often mean lifelong medical care, home modifications, and the loss of the ability to work.

At United Attorney Group, we represent Santa Monica clients and families facing these life-changing injuries. We build cases that account for both today’s needs and the costs that will come years from now.

Santa Monica clients choose our attorneys because we offer:

• Decades of combined experience handling serious injury cases.
• A track record of significant settlements and verdicts.
• Trial lawyers who stand up to insurance companies.
• No attorney fees unless we win your case.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis.
• Traumatic brain injuries.
• Amputations and loss of limbs.
• Severe burns.
• Multiple fractures and crush injuries.
• Loss of vision or hearing.

Building a Strong Case

Catastrophic injury cases require detailed proof of future needs. We work with doctors, life-care planners, and economists to calculate the full cost of care, lost earning ability, and the impact on daily life. This helps make sure a settlement does not fall short years later.

What Compensation May Cover

• Lifetime medical care and rehabilitation.
• In-home care, equipment, and home or vehicle modifications.
• Lost wages and future earning capacity.
• Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Support for family members, including loss of consortium.

Time Limits

In California, most catastrophic injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the accident. Claims against government agencies require a written claim within six months, so it is important to contact a lawyer early.
