Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld Relentlessly Protecting California Workers' Rights Since 1956

California Catastrophic Injury Attorneys

At Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld, our Santa Barbara catastrophic and complex injury lawyers know that the American Medical Association (AMA) defines catastrophic injuries as “severe injuries to the spinal cord, spine, or brain, and may also include skull or spinal fractures.”

This definition often refers to severe and life-altering injuries that can result from various accidents or events and typically have a significant and lasting impact on a person’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

Since 1956, our Santa Barbara County injury lawyers have understood that suffering catastrophic injuries in an accident caused by another person’s negligence or at work is life-changing, and we have been dedicated to representing our fellow California residents and workforce when and where they need us.

With seven offices located throughout the state, we are more than attorneys, we are advocates who provide precise legal advice and representation that exceeds our clients’ expectations so they can focus on taking back control of their lives.

We are champions for justice, starting with your case. Contact us online or by calling (805) 243-2179 today to learn more.

Common ways catastrophic and complex injuries occur may include, but are not limited to:

  • Chemical Exposure. 
  • Electrical Accidents. 
  • Explosions and Fires. 
  • Falls from Heights.
  • Industrial Accidents. 
  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents. 
  • Sports and Recreational Activities. 
  • Vehicle Collisions, including Car, Truck, SUV, and Motorcycle Crashes.
