Injuries are considered to be catastrophic when they occur suddenly and without warning and are so devastating, that they may change the victim’s life for ever, due to the tremendous impact. Active people can suddenly find themselves without limb, or permanently disabled and incapacitated, needing to be taken care of for the rest of their lives. Catastrophic injury and illness in Los Angeles, California, may include, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, and neurological disorders, which in turn are responsible for other malfunctions in the body, such as loss of feeling, loss of bladder control, inability to breathe independently, loss of memory, inability to speak, blindness; temporary or permanent, paralysis, and loss of communicative and cognitive abilities.

Of the 1.4 million who sustain a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) each year in the United States:
• 50,000 die;
• 235,000 are hospitalized; and
• One million are treated and released from an emergency department.1

Among children ages 0 to 14 years, TBI results in an estimated:
• 2,685 deaths;
• 37,000 hospitalizations; and
• 435,000 emergency department visits annually.1

The leading causes of TBI are:
• Falls (28%);
• Motor vehicle-traffic crashes (20%);
• Struck by/against events (19%); and
• Assaults (11%).1


Victims of such catastrophic injuries may recover if given proper medical treatment early enough; others, may not be as fortunate, no matter how fast they receive initial care; their injuries being so devastatingly severe, they will be left permanently disabled, suffer a reduced lifespan, and be dependent on caregivers for their most basic needs, such as bladder and bowel function, feeding, dressing and bathing. Whether you sustained your catastrophic injuries from a fall, a car accident, through medical malpractice, defective products, including autos, mechanical failure, premises liability or animal attack, amusement park accidents, construction site accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, burn injuries, or birth injuries; you need to consult with, and secure, effective legal representation by Slaughter & Slaughter.

While victims are hospitalized, they will require a skilled professional team of medical staff, and after discharge from hospital, there will be years of therapists bills, counselors, medical check-ups, medication, medical equipment and specialized transportation bills to pay.

It is important that you consult with an experienced catastrophic injury lawyer at the first instance. If you delay your case, your rights may be violated or severely compromised by unscrupulous insurance companies, out to protect their own wealth. Fast, effective representation is promised by experienced, compassionate attorneys who want to protect your rights, and help you receive the maximum compensation allowable by law, to ensure your recovery and the financial future of your family. Let our attorneys delve into your case, and investigate who is to take responsibility for your catastrophic injuries, consult expert medical witnesses, and get justice for you, and all those affected by the negligent party.
