Catastrophic Injury Lawyer in San Diego & Southern California
When an injury permanently alters your life — or the life of someone you love — the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. At York Law, we help clients across San Diego, Coronado, and the South Bay navigate catastrophic injury cases with care, clarity, and strength.
These are complex claims. You don’t have to face them alone.
What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries often include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe burns
- Amputations or crush injuries
- Multiple fractures with long-term complications
- Permanent loss of vision or hearing
These injuries don’t just affect the body — they impact employment, family life, mobility, and long-term mental health. That’s why compensation needs to reflect the full scope of what was lost.
What Makes These Cases More Complex?
Unlike minor injuries, catastrophic claims involve:
- Extensive medical records and future care plans
- Long-term wage loss and diminished earning capacity
- Lifecare experts and economic impact reports
- Permanent disability evaluations
- Often, multiple parties involved in liability
We work with medical experts, financial planners, and life care consultants to build a strong case — not just for today, but for what lies ahead.

Catastrophic Injury FAQs
What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?
It’s typically an injury that results in long-term or permanent disability — affecting your ability to work, live independently, or maintain your quality of life.
How is compensation calculated in these cases?
We look at both current and future damages: medical bills, lost earnings, projected care needs, emotional suffering, and impact on your family. These are high-value cases, and we work with experts to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Who can be held responsible for a catastrophic injury?
It depends on how it happened — a reckless driver, property owner, employer, manufacturer, or another negligent party. We investigate thoroughly to determine liability and pursue all available claims.
How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury lawsuit in California?
Generally, you have two years from the date of injury — but don’t wait. The earlier we begin building your case, the better.
How much does it cost to hire York Law?
There’s no upfront cost. We handle catastrophic injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win.
