Accidents can lead to all sorts of injuries, but what makes an injury a catastrophic one? A catastrophic injury is an injury that causes a permanent disability while decreasing your quality of life and ability to perform basic tasks. These injuries accompany lifelong repercussions and may require long-term treatment and rehabilitation.

When building your legal case, it’s important to know what financial compensation you’re entitled to so you earn the amount you deserve. Compensation is meant to cover certain financial expenses or damages that resulted from the injuries. Compensation for a catastrophic injury can include economic damages, non-economic damages, punitive damages, as well as other damages.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, there is also the potential to earn punitive damages. These are damages paid for by the defendant as a form of punishment for harmful or dangerous behaviors. If the injuries occurred due to reckless or severely dangerous behaviors from the defendant, you can potentially earn punitive damages on top of the damages mentioned above.
If you are interested in filing a legal case for a catastrophic injury, keep in mind you have a specific window of time in which you can do so. This is known as the statute of limitations. In the state of California, you have up to 2 years from the date of the incident to file your claim.
However, this doesn’t mean you should wait a while before filing your claim. The sooner you meet with a legal representative from Compass Law Group, LLP, the smoother the process will be. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to file a claim and get the compensation you deserve. Contact Compass Law Group, LLP as soon as possible to get the process started.

With Joseph Shirazi and Simon Esfandi at the helm, our firm is a trusted name in accident law in California.
After 10 accidents and 9 attorneys, the client met Simon, who stood out for his honesty and clear communication. Years later, after another accident, the client called Simon and was impressed by his professionalism and follow-through. Simon explained everything, connected him with top doctors, and kept every promise. It was the first time the client felt truly supported—highly recommending Simon and Joseph for their integrity and dedication.
Jacob was rear-ended by a big rig and left nearly paralyzed for a year. He found Cooper Law Group, and Joseph and Simon personally helped him through the legal process. Over two years, they ensured he got the medical care and surgeries he needed, helped repair his car, and secured the compensation he deserved. He highly recommends them for truly fighting for their clients.
During the early days of COVID, Blandine was hit by a car while biking to work. Alone and unsure of what to do, they found Compass Law Group. Joseph was the first to respond with care and clarity. Throughout the case, the team—Joseph, Simon, and Julie—provided support, regular check-ins, and made the client feel safe and cared for. They now consider the firm like family and highly recommend them for their compassion and competence.
