What is a “catastrophic” injury?
Catastrophic injuries are the most serious types of injuries there are. They’re the type of injuries that may never fully heal. They affect entire families. A catastrophic injury claim is one of the most complicated types of lawsuits there is, often involving multiple liable parties and substantial, lifelong medical care.
These are the types of injury cases Taylor & Ring takes on. Our Los Angeles attorney represent individuals and families in lawsuits involving:
- Scarring and disfigurement

What kinds of cases do your Los Angeles personal injury attorneys handle?
Taylor & Ring handle a wide array of injury claims based on negligence. This means that the actions (or inaction) and wrongdoing of another person or entity caused your injuries. Our attorneys in Los Angeles routinely handle claims involving:
- Sexual misconduct, assault, and rape
- Police misconduct, shootings, and brutality
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Construction accidents
- Nursing home neglect
- Premises liability
- Product liability
When clients have suffered injuries that dramatically change their lives forever, we work that much harder to win long-term, comprehensive compensation. Many clients cannot return to the same line of work or cannot work again in any capacity. In addition, their home lives are changed forever with significant challenges placed on the family. At Taylor & Ring, we are your partners in your quest for justice.
When should I call a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer?
If you were injured through no fault of your own, you will likely want to retain a lawyer. Although it can be difficult to know when to contact a Los Angeles personal injury attorney, a good rule of thumb is this: The sooner, the better.
Although it is possible to file a personal injury claim against an insurance company without legal representation, this practice is not advised. It could be tempting to consider foregoing legal fees, especially if you have suffered only minor injuries. But it is all too easy to become mired in complicated legal jargon, stalled communication, and a lack of understanding about the gravity of your case.
If you choose a Los Angeles personal attorney for Taylor & Ring, you are partnering with a highly trained advocate to work on your behalf. A personal injury lawyer brings experience with legal proceedings, rules, and methods of big box insurance companies focused on their bottom line. The best personal injury lawyers will know how to counter the chaotic tactics of insurance companies. You can trust us to represent you and fight for your best interests.
How long do I have to file an injury lawsuit in California?
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in California is typically two years – but it may change on the type of claim you have and the liable entity(ies). Time is of the essence. You should consult with a lawyer as soon as you.
What should I bring to my initial consultation with a Los Angeles personal injury attorney?
When you have scheduled a consultation, you will want to prepare the pertinent documents for your attorney. Your first meeting will likely be fact finding, and you will want to bring as much information as possible. For the most productive meeting, bring an original or copy of the following items:
- information was provided by you, the other party or parties, and the police at the scene of the accident
- Any tickets issued at the scene of the accident (if applicable)
- Photographs and/or videos of your injuries, the scene of the accident, your vehicle (if applicable), and another other photos/videos you have
- Statements given, if any
- Medical and psychological records
- Any other records or information pertinent to the restitution you seek for your personal injury
- Your insurance policy
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
There is no set standard for how much a personal injury claim is worth in California. It all depends on the losses you sustained. There is no cap on compensatory damages – AKA, compensation based on actual and non-economic losses. Thos damages include:
- Medical bills and expenses, both current and anticipated for the future
- Lost wages and loss of future earning potential, including wages for family caretakers
- Pain and suffering, including mental anguish, emotional distress, physical pain, loss of companionship, and loss of reputation/humiliation
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment
- Loss of consortium
- Scarring and disfigurement
In wrongful death claims, you can seek compensation for all of these damages as well as funeral and burial costs, and for the pain and suffering your loved one endured before he or she died.
California also allows for punitive (exemplary) damages: compensation designed to punish wrongdoing by the liable party(ies). There is no cap on punitive damages in California, either.
Will I have to go to trial?
Whether or not your case would to go to trial will depend on your case and your needs. As one of Los Angeles’ premier trial firms, Taylor & Ring’s reputation precedes it to negotiations. In other words, other law firms know we’re willing to fight at trial, and they know the types of awards we win. This may incline some insurance companies and negligent entities to agree to terms for a just settlement more quickly.
There may also be times where you prefer to settle. Jury trials and verdicts are public, and sometimes clients wish to retain their privacy.
However, jury trials are your right under the Constitution – and sometimes, they’re the only way to get a just outcome. Our firm’s resources, coupled with our legal team’s experience and skills, make us formidable in a courtroom. If we believe the only way to get true justice for you is to take your case to a jury, we will tell you so. Ultimately, however, the decision is yours to make. We’ll never force you into a settlement or a trial.
