What Should I Do After a Catastrophic Injury in California?

01

Seek Immediate Medical Care

Catastrophic injuries can be life‑threatening. Even if symptoms aren’t obvious at first, prompt medical evaluation helps protect your health and creates essential documentation for your claim.

02

Preserve Evidence

If possible: Take photos or video of the accident scene and your injuries Save police reports, medical records, and correspondence Collect witness statements and contact information These records help prove both fault and damages when negotiating with insurers or in court.

03

Avoid Talking With Insurers Without Legal Counsel

Insurance companies often try to limit payouts. Statements made without legal guidance can weaken your claim. Let your lawyer handle all insurance communications.

Contact a California Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Right Away
