Our personal injury lawyers at Rad Law Group are often asked, “what is my case worth?”. When it comes to catastrophic injury, our response is always the same. There is no amount of money that will ever make you whole again. How can you put a figure on a shortened lifespan? How can you measure in dollars and cents the inability to ever walk again? You cannot. However, for those that have suffered catastrophic injury, our experienced personal injury attorneys understand that they or their loved ones will require extraordinary assistance for the rest of their lives with massive medical costs, a lifetime of therapy, prosthetics, and lifelong live-in care. In short, they will need additional financial assistance for the rest of their lives. Our personal injury team at Rad Law Group has decades of experience dealing with catastrophic personal injury and understand that at the core, no amount of money will ever fully compensate you for your injury and more importantly for your pain and suffering.


A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that results in a significant and usually permanent disability. Most often, a catastrophic injury involves brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, dismemberment, or paralysis. However, it can also include a permanent inability to the use of an arm or a leg, blindness or loss of hearing. Not only do such injuries affect your ability to function in everyday society (most often for the rest of your life), the pain and suffering associated with such injuries are immense. The lifetime of extensive medical care and long-term support cannot be overstated. Some people equate catastrophic injury to a life ruined. How can one translate such loss into dollar figures? The truth is that one cannot.


When someone’s life is turned upside down due to catastrophic injury, the last thing they want to think about is a lawyer. At Rad Law Group, our personal injury lawyers are acutely aware of this, and accordingly do everything humanly possible to minimize the intrusion to you and your family. At the same time, we know what it takes to fight for you against the insurance companies, the people or corporations that caused your injuries and in trial. While there is some necessary intrusion, it is our sincere mission to respect our clients’ dignity while simultaneously fighting for the maximum compensation obtainable for their catastrophic injuries.


At Rad Law Group, our personal injury attorneys are proud of the balance we have struck between fighting for our clients and respecting their dignity. We even recognize that sometimes the pain is so great that no amount of compensation is worth any intrusion and we respect that. However, California law provides injured people the right to seek compensation from those who have harmed them and from their insurance companies, companies that have more money than most people can imagine set aside for the sole purpose of compensating injured people.


At Rad Law Group, our hearts bleed for the folks that have suffered catastrophic injury. We understand that there is nothing that we can do to change that reality. We only know that those who are responsible for your tragedy are morally indebted to you. Our personal injury lawyers also know that moral indebtedness does nothing to help you through such unimaginable times. Whatever your personal circumstances, the San Jose Rad Law Group’s personal injury lawyers never forget the true faces of our clients. Because of this, we passionately fight for our clients to ensure maximum compensation for their injuries. We refuse to ignore our clients’ humanity. This is Rad Law Group’s commitment to each and every one of our clients.


Rad Law Group also knows that you have many choices when choosing an attorney. In the end, we hope that whomever you choose to represent you during this tragic time, that you find the peace and comfort that you deserve. Whatever you decide, be sure to consult with a personal injury attorney. Make sure that you find someone that will aggressively represent you. It is important to know that insurance companies are not on your side, nor are the lawyers working for the people who harmed you. No matter what they tell you, they will never offer you the maximum compensation that you are entitled to. In fact, it is the insurance adjuster’s job to give you as little as possible. Contact the experienced personal injury lawyers at San Jose’s Rad Law Group at (408) 241-5300 without delay in order to protect your rights. There are important deadlines that cannot be ignored.
