What Counts as a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that causes permanent or long-term disability, severe disfigurement, or loss of independence. These are the kinds of injuries that may require years of medical treatment and ongoing support. 

They often reshape every aspect of a person’s life, from their ability to work to how they connect with loved ones and participate in daily routines.

Common examples include:

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Amputation or loss of limb
• Severe burns (third or fourth degree)
• Vision or hearing loss
• Crush injuries or multiple fractures

Because catastrophic injuries are so severe, recovery usually involves extensive rehabilitation, adaptive technology, and emotional support. Sotelo Law Group helps clients navigate these challenges with compassion and resources that focus on long-term recovery and dignity.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in Arizona

In Phoenix and across Arizona, catastrophic injuries often result from serious and preventable accidents such as:

• Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents
• Workplace and construction site accidents
• Medical negligence or surgical errors
• Defective products or equipment failures
• Dangerous property conditions, including falls, fires, or pool accidents

In a big desert city, locals take on higher risks of severe injuries, especially with our expanding highway systems and rapid construction growth. 

At Sotelo Law Group, Daniel Sotelo’s local roots give him a unique understanding of how these accidents happen and how they impact Arizona families. His dedication to the community drives his commitment to fight for justice for those hurt in serious accidents, offering the legal skill and compassion to help clients through the hardest times of their lives.

The Long-Term Costs of a Catastrophic Injury

The true cost of a catastrophic injury goes far beyond hospital bills. Victims and their families often face lifelong challenges, including:

• Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
• Lost income or inability to work
• Emotional distress and reduced quality of life
• Home modifications, assistive devices, or full-time care

Sotelo Law Group fights for compensation that reflects every aspect of your future, not just your immediate expenses.

Arizona’s Statute of Limitations for Catastrophic Injury Cases

In most Arizona cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, exceptions exist. These include: 

• Claims against a government entity: These often have much shorter notice deadlines (sometimes as little as 180 days).
• Cases involving minors: The clock may not start until the injured child reaches age 18. 
• Wrongful death claims: The timeline can differ based on when the death occurred and when the cause was known.

Each case is unique, so it’s crucial to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. 

Acting quickly protects your rights and ensures crucial evidence isn’t lost. Contact Sotelo Law Group as soon as possible to start your journey forward. 

Immigration Concerns & Your Rights

Your immigration status does not affect your right to seek compensation after an injury. Personal injury and immigration are entirely separate areas of law.

If you have questions or worries about your situation, Sotelo Law Group can connect you with a trusted immigration attorney. Your safety and peace of mind always come first.
