Handling Claims Involving Life-Changing Injuries
Some accidental injuries might be relatively minor and result in temporary expenses and inconvenience. On the other hand, some injuries are considered to be “catastrophic” due to the severe and lasting impact on a person’s life. Catastrophic injuries can lead to complex personal injury claims, as the damages sought are often significant.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries
There are different types of injuries that might be categorized as catastrophic, and the following are some life-changing injuries involved in catastrophic injury claims:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) – A severe TBI occurs when someone sustains trauma to the head, resulting in damage to the brain tissue. Severe TBIs can result in coma and lengthy hospitalization, and some patients might need surgery to address dangerous intracranial pressure. This severity of TBI can result in a range of permanent cognitive, physical, or behavioral impairments.
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) – When the spinal cord is damaged, it can cause temporary or permanent paralysis below the point of the injury. Some SCI victims lose all movement and sensory ability in two or four limbs, as well as the possible loss of certain organ functioning.
- Amputation – When an accident severs a body part, or a person requires surgical amputation, there is no doubt it changes their entire life. Amputations can require costly medical treatment and equipment for the rest of your life and might result in serious mental trauma, as well.

“Highly Recommend”
Highly recommend. Laid off without notice by a shady Pre IPO lender in San Francisco. No one was given severance and they hired a labor attorney ahead of the layoffs to try and get around paying severance and warn notice. Without this firm taking my case, I would have never received a dime. Do not let a lay off without any severance deter you, contact this firm. Odd thing was 1 letter from this firm and severance was immediately offered. It's a game these high-tech companies are playing and gambling on. Their bet is 98% will not do anything severance and for the small percent that do, the amount to pay versus provided all in the layoff, is pennies on the dollar. Get your documentation, all emails, take photos of slack messages, record any zoom calls where there is a statement " no one is getting laid off" and so forth. Records any zoom calls where you are laid off. Take notes. Protect yourself and family. Working all the holidays and 12-hour days to be let go with nothing, is ridiculous. Use this firm and provide all your documentation. Good Luck!- J.C. -
“Extremely Satisfied”
I was referred to Ratner Molineaux after my daughter and I suffered injury and property damage resulting from a defective product in our home. During my very first conversation with David Ratner, I found him to be straightforward, professional, and extremely responsive to my concerns. Thereafter, David took the time to walk us through each and every stage of the litigation process and was an excellent advocate for my daughter and I. He remained fiercely protective of our interests and represented us well during mediation, preparation for trial, and settlement talks. David's style is very direct and to the point, which might be off putting for some, but worked well for me since I tend to be laser focused when dealing with business matters. Near the conclusion of my case, I had the opportunity to meet his partner Shelley, who had also diligently and effectively assisted with our litigation. In the end, our result was more than adequate, and both my daughter and I walked away extremely satisfied with both the representation we'd received, and the outcome of our claim. I definitely recommend this firm.- D.M. -
