Deb S.★★★★★

From start to finish, David Gammill provided excellent representation. His knowledge of personal injury law is clear, and he handled my case with efficiency and care. He was easy to talk to and never made me feel rushed when we spoke. I always knew what was happening throughout the process. He was creative in his strategy and remained committed to securing the best possible outcome. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney look no further, David is the best of the best.

Anthony S.★★★★★

I was seeking strong legal representation to recover damages after being assaulted, and after consulting several attorneys, I chose David Gammill, and I’m incredibly glad I did. From our very first conversation, David’s calm, confident demeanor and straightforward approach stood out immediately. He is a true straight shooter who clearly knows his field inside and out. His extensive experience and deep knowledge of personal injury law are impressive, yet he never comes across as just “another lawyer,” he truly elevates the profession and sets the gold standard for what an attorney should be. I thoroughly reviewed his online feedback before deciding, and the consistent five-star ratings made perfect sense once I worked with him. His dedication, communication, and results speak for themselves. I rarely write reviews, but if you’re searching for an exceptional attorney to fight for you in a personal injury case, you would be doing yourself a serious disservice by not reaching out to David Gammill. Highly recommended, without hesitation.

Types Of Accidents That Can Cause Catastrophic Injuries 

Virtually any type of accident can lead to a catastrophic injury. Some of the most common types of accidents that lead to catastrophic injuries include:

Who Is Responsible for a Catastrophic Injury? 

In the state of California, victims of catastrophic injuries may be entitled to compensation if someone else’s negligence caused their injuries.

Negligent parties may be held liable for medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, and other damages.

To prove negligence, you must be able to show that the party:

  • Owed you a duty of care.
  • Breached that duty of care.
  • The breach of care led to your injuries.

For example, if a drunk driver hits your car and causes you to suffer a spinal cord injury that leaves you paralyzed, the drunk driver may be held liable for your injuries. Drivers have a responsibility (duty of care) to operate their vehicles safely and to obey traffic laws. It is illegal to operate a vehicle while intoxicated. It could be argued that the driver breached their duty of care, and their negligence led to your injury.

Catastrophic injuries require extensive recovery and often have exorbitant medical costs. Negligent parties should be held responsible for their actions. You and your family shouldn’t have to deal with the financial burden of your injury costs.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What Makes An Injury Catastrophic? 

A catastrophic injury is an injury that causes severe – often permanent – damage to the victim’s body and health. Many victims of catastrophic injuries suffer permanent disability and never return to work. Often, their physical and mental health suffers.

Catastrophic injuries can be:

  • Internal injuries, such as nerve damage, internal bleeding, organ damage, loss of eyesight, hearing loss, etc.
  • Severe back, head or neck injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), paralysis and more.
  • External injuries, such as burns, amputations, disfigurement and scars.

No matter the cause and type, catastrophic injuries often leave victims fighting for their lives and spending months or years recovering. Unfortunately, some never make a full recovery.

Those who suffer catastrophic injuries often suffer from emotional trauma and may experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and loss of quality of life.

Is It Worth Getting A Lawyer For A Catastrophic Injury? 

Yes. If you have suffered severe and life-changing injuries, you do not want to risk settling for less than you deserve for your injuries. A Los Angeles catastrophic injury attorney can help you achieve the best possible outcome in your case and pursue the maximum compensation you’re entitled to.

Catastrophic injuries typically require extensive rehabilitation and corrective surgeries. For example, let’s say that a slip and fall accident caused a catastrophic injury that led to paralysis. In addition to a wheelchair, you may also need to move to a new home or have your current home renovated to make it wheelchair accessible. In addition, you may need other adaptive equipment, a special vehicle to drive independently, and physical therapy for the foreseeable future. The injury has effectively changed almost every aspect of your life, and the cost of care can be astronomical.

If another person’s negligence caused the accident, they can and should be held liable for your injuries and damages.

What Questions Should I Ask a Los Angeles Catastrophic Injury Lawyer? 

When hiring a catastrophic injury attorney, it’s important to ask questions, such as:

  • Have you ever worked on a case similar to mine? If so, how many? What was the outcome of the case?
  • If we cannot come to a settlement, will you take my case to trial? What is your success rate in the courtroom?
  • How much is my case worth?
  • How will we communicate?
  • How much time can you dedicate to my case?

You may have additional questions of your own. Make sure that you come prepared to ask your questions. The answers you receive can help you make an informed decision when choosing an attorney for your case.
