A catastrophic injury can result in potential long-term and permanent physical or mental disabilities. While each catastrophic injury is unique to the individual, each victim’s life is significantly altered for an extended time or forever. For help recovering damages for a catastrophic injury, the victim should contact an attorney in Miracle Mile.
Catastrophic injuries prevent the victim from continuing the life they lived before the accident. These injuries impact the victim’s personal life, ability to work, and the ability to enjoy life. While there is no defined injury, the following are examples of catastrophic injuries:
Catastrophic injuries may result from the defendant’s negligence or intentional acts. Whether the injury was caused by accident or on purpose, the defendant is responsible for the victim’s resulting damages.
To establish negligence, there are four elements the victim must establish. To hold a person responsible under negligence, the victim must show the defendant:
Under California Civil Code §1714, everyone has a duty to act with ordinary care or skill. When a person acts unreasonably and causes an injury to another, they have not acted with ordinary skill and breached their duty.
Next, the victim must be equipped to prove the defendant’s breach caused the catastrophic injury. To do so, the victim must establish nothing else could have caused their injury, and the defendant’s actions were the sole cause. Finally, once the victim proves causation, they need to establish their damages arose from their injury.
According to the law, an intentional act occurs when a defendant purposely performs a wrongful act against someone else. The defendant does not need to intend to harm the victim, merely that the defendant acted purposefully.
Similar to negligence, the victim must establish the defendant’s intentional act caused their injury. A victim is entitled to damages once they establish that the defendant’s purposeful act caused their injury.
