California Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Traumatic brain and spinal-cord injuries, severe burns, amputations, and other permanent harm. These claims turn on life-care planning and expert proof of lifelong cost — we build them for the long term.

Scales of justice statue

A catastrophic injury changes the rest of a person's life — and the value of the case is measured over that whole life, not just the first hospital bill. Traumatic brain injury, spinal-cord damage and paralysis, severe burns, amputations, and multiple fractures demand a different kind of preparation: life-care planning, vocational and economic experts, and treating physicians who can speak to a lifetime of future cost. Insurers fight these cases hardest because the exposure is largest, so we build the long-term medical and financial picture early and document it relentlessly.

How Mihran M. Ghazaryan helps with catastrophic injury

A catastrophic injury is measured over a lifetime, and Mihran M. Ghazaryan builds it that way. He assembles the life-care plan and the medical and economic experts who can prove the true future cost, refuses the quick lowball offer insurers use to close out large exposure early, and prepares the case for the long horizon it requires — so the recovery reflects the care you'll actually need.

What we handle

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

From concussion with lasting cognitive effects to severe TBI. We pair imaging and neuropsychological testing with day-in-the-life evidence so the invisible effects are made concrete.

Spinal-cord injury and paralysis

Paraplegia and quadriplegia carry lifelong attendant-care and accessibility costs. A life-care plan quantifies them so the demand reflects the real future.

Amputation, severe burns, and disfigurement

Permanent loss and scarring support significant non-economic damages alongside future surgical and prosthetic costs.

Multiple fractures and polytrauma

Injuries needing several surgeries, hardware, and extended rehabilitation, where future-treatment proof drives the value.

How we work

  1. 1

    Free, no-pressure consultation

    We listen first. We answer your questions. There is no fee for the initial conversation — and you decide whether to engage us at the end of it.

  2. 2

    Investigation and evidence preservation

    Police reports, scene photos, witness statements, vehicle data, surveillance video, medical records. The earlier we collect, the harder it is for the other side to reshape the story later.

  3. 3

    Treatment, demand, and negotiation

    We coordinate with your providers, document the full extent of damages — medical, lost income, pain — and present a demand backed by evidence. We push back firmly when an insurer lowballs.

  4. 4

    Litigation when necessary

    Most matters settle. When an insurer refuses to be reasonable, we file. Preparing every case as if it will be tried is what makes the settlement number move.

What to do right away

  • Follow every treatment recommendation and keep all specialist appointments — gaps in care get used against you.
  • Keep a journal of pain, limitations, and how daily life has changed.
  • Preserve everything: medical records, bills, the device or vehicle involved, and the scene if possible.
  • Designate one family member to track providers and expenses while you focus on recovery.
  • Do not accept an early settlement before the full extent of future care is known.
  • Do not give a recorded statement to the insurer before speaking with a lawyer.
