Case Illustration of Catastrophic Injury in Glendale
Mike was riding his bike like he did every day, and after leaving a friend’s home and heading to the store, his life changed forever. A driver, who was speeding, didn’t see him and hit him going 60 MPH.
On impact, Mike was thrown into the air, hitting the windshield, causing serious facial injuries, and hitting the pavement, leaving him with:
- Two shattered bones in his neck
- Traumatic brain injury
Mike’s injuries left him in the hospital for eight months, and therapy will be necessary for years. He may never walk again. He had to relearn how to speak, and his quality of life was impacted permanently.
As our client, we know that Mike is facing a drastically different life:
- He may never work again
- His family is impacted for the duration of Mike’s life
Compensation for these injuries must consider medical and therapy costs, lost wages, medical equipment, renovations to a home, pain and suffering and many other costs.
What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries are life-changing injuries that will impact a person for the rest of their lives – to some degree. For example, a catastrophic injury attorney in Glendale will consider the following as catastrophic:
If injuries greatly impact your life and are likely to cause temporary or permanent disability, it is considered catastrophic. You’ll need continued care throughout your life, and cognitive and physical disabilities may exist.
Do I Have a Case? Evaluating Your Catastrophic Injury Claim
Your situation is unique, and without reviewing it personally, we don’t know whether you have a viable pathway for recourse. We’ll begin with a complete evaluation of your situation before moving on to the following:
Proving Negligence in Catastrophic Injuries
Negligence is the basis of all personal injuries, and we need to be able to prove, with evidence, the following elements:
- Duty – the plaintiff was owed a duty of care by the defendant.
- Breach – a breach of the duty of care led to the person’s injuries.
- Causation – the breach of care was responsible for the damage the plaintiff faced.
- Damages – the injured party sustained some form of damage.
Determining Fault
Once we establish that negligence caused the accident, we’ll need to determine fault. We’ll need to examine:
- Which party or parties were at fault in your accident
- How much you were at fault for the accident (if at all).
Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state, which means that your percentage of fault will reduce your damages.

How to Choose the Best Injury Lawyer in Glendale for My Claim
If you have suffered a catastrophic injury caused by someone else’s carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.
The claim process can be complex. Without an understanding of the nuances of personal injury law and how insurance companies operate, you risk settling for less than you deserve if you go through the process on your own.
Finding the right lawyer is crucial to the outcome of your case.
When choosing a lawyer for your catastrophic injury claim, consider the following factors:
- Experience handling cases similar to yours. Catastrophic injuries often require extensive and costly care. In many cases, care is ongoing for years or the remainder of the individual’s life. Permanent disability may be involved. Because these types of injuries have such a significant impact on one’s life, you need a lawyer who understands how to properly value your claim and will fight for the settlement you need and deserve.
- Availability. Your lawyer should make your case a priority. Ensure they have enough availability to give your case ample time and attention.
- Who will be working on your case. Will the attorney be working on your case, or will it be outsourced? It’s important to know how your case will be handled and by whom.
- Reputation. Look for a lawyer with a history of successful claims and positive client testimonials.
At Klink Law, we have represented many clients just like you who have suffered catastrophic injuries that have upended their lives. We are committed to helping our clients pursue the maximum compensation they are entitled to and aren’t afraid to litigate if that’s what it takes.
We handle our cases directly and are available to answer questions or address concerns as your case progresses.
How Klink Law Evaluates Catastrophic Injury Damages
When we take on a catastrophic injury claim, we look far beyond the immediate hospital bills and missed paychecks. Our goal is to understand how your injuries will affect every part of your life in Glendale and across Arizona, from ongoing treatment at facilities such as Banner Thunderbird Medical Center to the cost of future surgeries, in-home care, and mobility aids. By working closely with your treating providers and, when appropriate, outside medical and financial professionals, we build a picture of what you will need not just this year, but ten or twenty years from now.
As a catastrophic injury lawyer Glendale families can turn to in difficult times, we also consider less obvious losses that still have a major impact on your day-to-day life. This can include the loss of benefits if you can no longer work in your chosen career, the strain placed on spouses or children who may become caregivers, and the ways your injuries limit hobbies, travel, or even simple household tasks. We then present this information in a clear, organized way for insurance adjusters, mediators, or a jury, so they can see the full human cost of the harm you have suffered.
