Injury Lawyer
Compassionate legal representation for catastrophic injury victims in Burbank, CA.
Why You Need a Burbank Catastrophic Personal Injury Lawyer
Catastrophic injuries change lives in an instant. Whether you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or an amputation, these injuries often lead to lifelong challenges and overwhelming medical costs. In California, the at-fault party is legally responsible for those damages (Vehicle Code §17150), but high-value claims are often met with aggressive resistance from insurers.
Victims of catastrophic injuries face more than just physical recovery. They deal with long-term care needs, lost earning potential, emotional distress, and complex legal disputes. Insurance companies may dispute the severity of your injuries or attempt to minimize your payout.
At Ness Law Firm, our Burbank catastrophic injury lawyers fight for justice. We understand how to build a strong case under California law, and we bring deep local knowledge of Burbank’s streets, accident patterns, and court system. We secure compensation for current and future medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering—so you can focus on healing.
