What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
In Washington, a catastrophic injury is defined as an injury that results in long-term or permanent disability and requires ongoing medical care or rehabilitation. These injuries often change the course of a person’s life, impacting their ability to work, care for themselves, or enjoy daily activities.
Common catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Often caused by accidents that involve severe impact, TBIs can result in memory loss, cognitive impairments, or permanent disability.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries may lead to partial or total paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and adaptive equipment.
- Severe Burns: Burns from accidents can cause permanent scarring, nerve damage, and emotional trauma.
- Multiple Fractures & Internal Injuries: Serious bone breaks or organ damage can significantly impact mobility and overall health.
- Amputations: The loss of a limb is both physically and emotionally life-altering, requiring rehabilitation and prosthetics.
The emotional and financial toll of these injuries is immense, and victims deserve fair compensation that reflects the full extent of their losses.
Washington Laws and Catastrophic Injury Claims
Navigating Washington’s personal injury laws can be complex, especially in catastrophic injury cases. Key legal considerations include:
- Statute of Limitations: In Washington, you typically have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline could forfeit your right to compensation.
- Comparative Fault Rule: Washington follows a pure comparative fault system. This means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your award will be reduced by 20%.
- Compensation Available: Catastrophic injury victims may be entitled to recover for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation and long-term care needs
- Loss of enjoyment of life
At Palace Law, our attorneys are skilled in interpreting these laws and building strong cases that account for every aspect of your recovery.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

Aria has been working with me and she is very thorough. I don’t get good sleep at night because of my injury but knowing that Palace Law is on the job gives me peace of mind specially, when they have employees like Aria thanks for letting me give my feedback and putting me in a position to give feedback.

They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
