Legal Support for Catastrophic Injury Victims in California

Catastrophic injuries are some of the most devastating events a person can experience. These life-altering injuries often result in permanent disability, chronic pain, or the loss of independence. At BD&J, PC, Attorney Michael Madadi leads a team that’s committed to helping victims and their families recover the maximum compensation necessary to adapt, heal, and rebuild.

What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently prevents an individual from performing gainful work or significantly impairs their quality of life. These injuries typically include:

• Spinal cord injuries (often resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia)
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Severe burns or disfigurement
• Amputations
• Multiple complex fractures
• Loss of vision or hearing
• Crushed or damaged internal organs

Unlike minor or moderate injuries, catastrophic injuries usually require a lifetime of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and assistive care.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

Michael Madadi and the BD&J team handle catastrophic injury claims arising from various accidents, such as:

• Auto and truck collisions
• Motorcycle and pedestrian accidents
• Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) crashes
• Commercial vehicle accidents (including Amazon and UPS)
• Workplace accidents
• Dangerous premises or slip-and-fall incidents
• Defective products or machinery

In many of these cases, negligence or recklessness by another party is to blame.

The Long-Term Costs of a Catastrophic Injury

The financial toll of a catastrophic injury can be overwhelming. Victims and their families often face:

• Emergency and long-term medical expenses
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Home modifications and assistive technology
• In-home nursing care
• Psychological treatment
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

These long-term costs can quickly reach millions of dollars. Our mission at BD&J is to ensure you’re not left bearing that burden alone.
