Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death

Has a Catastrophic Injury or Death of a Loved One Changed Your Life?

When a life-changing injury or death happens in a family, it has a full impact on everyone. From loss of emotional support and care to the very harsh realities of medical costs and loss of earnings, the injury victim won't be the only one affected.

At the law offices of Fernandez & Lauby LLP, we know that when clients come to us with their catastrophic injury or wrongful death claim, they need more than just legal services. From the day we opened our doors in 1998, we have made compassion, understanding and responsiveness the hallmark of our law firm. Our team of trial attorneys and office staff know you need more than just a fair settlement from your lawyer. You need to know someone cares enough to fight aggressively to help you recover what your entire family has lost.

Your family will have many questions about the court system, legal options and decisions over the next several months and years. We'll start building a strong relationship right away. When you call, we'll answer your questions quickly and honestly.

Contact one of our offices in Riverside, Palm Desert or Irvine, California, to arrange a free consultation. If you can't come to us, we will arrange an opportunity to meet with you at a time and place that is most convenient for your family. If you retain us to represent you in your lawsuit, we may handle the case on contingency, in which case you won't pay attorneys fees unless we help you recover compensation.

We have experience representing clients in all cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death, including:

  • Motor vehicle accident claims
  • Serious head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Neck, back and spinal cord injuries, paraplegia, paralysis
  • Amputation, loss of limb
  • Serious burns, scarring
  • Loss of eyesight, blindness

Catastrophic Injury Cases Are Often Complex

Catastrophic injury claims require proof that the injury is life-changing and was the direct result of the accident and negligence of another party. Our law firm works with independent experts and medical specialists to investigate the case and present the strongest case possible for court, if a trial becomes necessary. We use the latest presentation technology available to law firms to present strong evidence the jury, judges and the opposing lawyers will understand.

News & Features

Dear Mr. Mankin

First off, I would like to thank you and your team at Fernandez & Lauby LLP for taking my case and representing me through the whole process. As I had told you before, several other law firms would not take my case, stating that I had no case to begin with (Which I knew I did). I was extremely pleased with your services and with you in keeping me well informed during the litigation. With this being my first time going through a process such as this, it was all very confusing at first, but you were there to explain everything, step by step, and eliminated all the confusion. Whenever I needed to contact you I was able to reach you directly or you would return my call in a prompt manner. The two cases in which you represented me were both settled quickly and sufficiently. Should I find any relatives or friend in a similar situation as I was in, I would have no problem referring them to your firm. Thank you again, and the whole staff for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Client
