After a Crash
What to do after a catastrophic injury
- 1
Get emergency medical care immediately
Call 911 or go to Sutter Roseville, Kaiser Permanente Roseville, or the nearest trauma center. Life-threatening injuries need trauma-level care from minute one.
- 2
Preserve the accident scene
If you can, have someone photograph the scene, vehicles, property, and any hazards involved. Physical evidence often disappears within hours.
- 3
Request every official report
Police reports, incident reports, and EMT run sheets all become part of the record. Ask for report numbers so we can pull the full files.
- 4
Do not speak to any insurance adjuster
Adjusters call within days and record everything. Politely decline until you have a lawyer — anything you say can be used to reduce your claim.
- 5
Preserve medical evidence
Keep every ER discharge sheet, imaging report, and prescription. In catastrophic cases the medical record is the case.
- 6
Follow every treatment plan
Keep every appointment and follow your provider's plan. Gaps in treatment give the insurance company an argument that you weren't really hurt.
- 7
Keep a written impact journal
Document pain levels, mobility limits, missed work, and how the injury affects your daily life and family. Contemporaneous notes are powerful evidence at settlement or trial.
- 8

FAQ
Roseville catastrophic injury lawyer FAQs
How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the injury under California's personal-injury statute of limitations. Claims against a government entity can have a deadline as short as six months. Because missed deadlines bar your claim permanently, contact a Roseville catastrophic injury lawyer as soon as possible.
How much does a Roseville catastrophic injury lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. Gingery Hammer & Associates works on a contingency-fee basis — no hourly fees and no retainer. We are only paid if we recover compensation for you, and your initial case review is always free and confidential.
What is a catastrophic injury case worth?
Catastrophic injury cases often exceed $1 million because damages include lifetime medical care, lost earning capacity, home modifications, and lifelong pain and suffering. Every case is different — we retain life-care planners and economists to model true lifetime cost.
What if the person responsible does not have enough insurance?
We investigate every available source of recovery: personal-injury policies, business/commercial policies, umbrella policies, product-liability policies, and your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. In catastrophic cases we routinely stack multiple policies.
Do I have a case if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Under California's pure comparative negligence rule you can still recover even if you were partly at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long will my catastrophic injury case take?
Catastrophic cases typically take longer than routine injury claims because we must document lifetime care needs. Most resolve in 12–24 months. We keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case efficiently without sacrificing value.
Do I have to go to court?
Usually no — most catastrophic injury cases settle out of court. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which positions us for the strongest settlement and ensures we are ready if the insurance company refuses to pay what your claim is worth.
What should I do if the insurance company already called me?
Do not give a recorded statement, do not sign anything, and do not accept an early settlement. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Call us first at (916) 999-9093 — a five-minute conversation can protect the full value of your claim.
Do you handle catastrophic injury cases outside of Roseville?
Yes. In addition to Roseville and Placer County, we represent catastrophically injured clients throughout Sacramento and the greater Sacramento region.
What if my loved one died from their injuries?
Surviving family members can bring a wrongful death claim in California to recover funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. We handle these cases with compassion and pursue full accountability against the responsible party.
