San Francisco & Oakland Catastrophic Injury Lawyers
Time does not heal all wounds. Sometimes even the best doctors and surgeons cannot reverse the damage. Catastrophic injuries are those injuries that lead to lifelong disability and life-changing hardships for victims and their families.
Adding to the injustice and suffering, the insurance companies typically hold back on the full compensation you need and deserve. These are the cases where the law firm of Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., can make a big difference. We know how to build a block-by-block case for liability and damages. We do not hesitate to file lawsuits and follow through to jury trial in pursuit of justice.
Our firm has handled catastrophic injury cases on behalf of clients in San Francisco, Oakland, the Bay Area, and throughout Northern California. Please reach out to us today for a free consultation with our compassionate and accomplished lawyers.
Bay Area Attorneys For Permanent And Catastrophic Injury
If your loved one’s personal injury can be traced back to the careless or reckless behavior of another person or entity, we will leave no stone unturned in proving it. We have obtained notable settlements and verdicts by demonstrating negligence of commercial establishments, landlords and property owners, medical providers, manufacturers, motor vehicle drivers, and other parties.
We have experience with all types of catastrophic injury, including:
- Traumatic brain injury (cognitive deficits, physical impairment, psychological effects)
- Spinal cord trauma (paralysis, nerve damage, collateral health issues)
- Back and neck injuries (fractures, herniated disks, severe strains)
- Loss of limb (severed limb or surgical amputation)
- Broken bones (weight-bearing bones, complications of healing)
- Eye injury (blindness or serious vision impairment)
- Severe burn injury
- Serious disfigurement
- Internal injuries (organ damage)
Compensation For The Lifelong Impact Of Your Injuries
We spend time with the injured person and family members to understand the scope of the injury and the impact on their lives. Then we work with medical professionals, vocational specialists, economists, life care planners, and other experts to determine our clients’ losses and future needs.
We prepare a detailed and documented claim that covers all the bases, such as:
- Lost wages and projected income
- Hospital bills and future medical care (surgery, rehab, nursing care, medication)
- Home modifications, special vehicles, wheelchairs
- Permanent disability (loss of use, diminished quality of life)
- Damages for pain and suffering
- Punitive damages when applicable
In some cases, there may be a separate cause of action for loss of consortium (loss of companionship and sexual relations) when a spouse is severely disabled from the accident.
Experienced, Strategic And Committed Legal Advocacy
We get results by altering our approach to the unique facts and circumstances of each case. Sometimes we can negotiate our way to a favorable settlement, and sometimes we just prepare for trial. What we never do is sell our clients short simply to get a quick resolution. We know that the money must cover a lifetime of needs and that it commonly takes a year or two in catastrophic injury cases to secure a good recovery. We are prepared to invest the time and resources to maximize that compensation.
