Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Palm Springs

What Constitutes A Catastrophic Injury?

When an accident is so severe that it results in life-changing injuries, it can be classified as catastrophic in nature. Catastrophic injuries are those that have created trauma, pain and suffering, and disability from which it will take months, possibly years, to recover. Because these injuries have the potential to adversely affect the rest of your life, or at least many years to come, they are classified as a catastrophic injury and are treated slightly differently in the legal system.

“I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.”
Many are quick to denigrate lawyers but not all lawyers deserve the reputation. I called Barry Regar on a Sunday afternoon and, unlike the others I Called, Barry returned my call quickly even though it was Sunday. After I gave Barry the history of my accident he acted quickly and decisively. He laid out how things would proceed, The expected timeline of events, and a clear understanding of his charges. Barry did not hand me off to an associate but rather was hands-on throughout the process. Barry communicated regularly, keeping me informed as to the progress he was making and what to expect. I never felt like he left me hanging. When I called him, he was always quick to answer the phone. Everything happened just as he said. We got the maximum from the other party. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.
