Severe and permanent injury matters where medical specials, lost earning capacity, and life-care planning drive the value of the claim. Every file is prepared for trial.
When an injury is permanent, the value of the case is driven by what comes after the accident: ongoing medical care, lost earning capacity, and a life-care plan that may span decades. These are not ordinary injury claims, and they should not be handled like them. The Masjedian Law Firm prepares every catastrophic injury file for trial from the first day, because insurers pay serious money only when they believe a case is genuinely ready to be tried.
Cases we handle. We represent clients and families across California facing the most severe outcomes — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and paralysis, traumatic amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, and other permanent or disabling harm. These injuries commonly arise from motor vehicle and commercial truck collisions, defective products, dangerous premises, and serious negligence.
Why these cases are different. The medical specials alone can reach into the millions, and the true cost is routinely understated by the defense. Building the claim requires the right experts early — treating physicians, life-care planners, vocational economists, and accident reconstructionists — so the full scope of the loss is documented and defensible. Under California law you may recover both economic damages (medical bills, future care, lost income and earning capacity) and non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Acting quickly protects the claim. Evidence disappears fast. Vehicles get repaired, scenes change, and witnesses move on. Early investigation — preserving the vehicle or product, securing surveillance footage, and documenting the scene — is often decisive. California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file suit, but claims against public entities can carry far shorter deadlines.
What makes an injury “catastrophic”? Generally one that is permanent, prevents a return to normal work or daily function, or requires long-term medical care.
What will representation cost me? Catastrophic injury cases are handled on contingency — no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. The terms are set out in a written retainer.
