Types of Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death Cases We Handle
Our practice is built around two core areas: catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death. These cases often arise from medical negligence, unsafe premises, vehicle and trucking accidents, construction failures, negligent security, and other acts of serious wrongdoing. We are trial lawyers who prepare every case as if it will go to a verdict because insurance companies and corporations pay attention when they know you are ready.
Catastrophic Personal Injury
Traumatic brain injury. Spinal cord injury. Severe burns. Amputation. Permanent disability.
What matters
These cases require medical, economic, and long-term care analyses to quantify the long-term impact.
How we build them:
Medical experts. Life-care planners. Economists. Accident reconstruction. Trial preparation from the outset.
Wrongful Death
Loss of life caused by negligence across medical care, transportation, premises, and construction environments.
What matters
Financial recovery must reflect lifetime impact on spouses, children, and dependents.
How we pursue it
Independent investigation. National experts. Trial-ready case strategy from day one.
Practice Areas
Every case is prepared for trial from day one. That changes how insurers evaluate risk—and how cases settle.
Built from Experience, Not Theory
Founded by Carlos E. Silva and Jorge E. Silva, the firm was shaped by a defining loss. In 1979, the Silva brothers lost their mother to medical negligence—an event that permanently altered their understanding of accountability, trust, and justice.
That experience informs every case we accept. Not as rhetoric, but as responsibility.
