What is a catastrophic injury?

Catastrophic injuries are those that have serious and long-lasting effects. A catastrophic injury may leave a victim disfigured or permanently disabled, and unable to return to work or, in more serious circumstances, even care for themselves.

As a result, people who've suffered catastrophic injuries may require long-term or lifelong medical treatment, rehabilitation, or in-home nursing care. Individuals living with the effects of catastrophic injuries may even need to move or modify their homes to accommodate their disabilities.catastrophic_injuries

Unfortunately, the cost of treating and living with catastrophic injuries adds up quickly. However, victims who sustained catastrophic injuries in accidents caused by another person's negligence—such as car accidents, truck wrecks, motorcycle crashes, or construction accidents—may be eligible for damages.

Examples of common catastrophic injuries include:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • Serious burns
  • Organ damage
  • Severely fractured or crushed bones
  • Exposure to hazardous substances
  • Eye injuries

Compensation sought in personal injury cases involving catastrophic injuries may include past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, permanent disability or disfigurement, physical pain and suffering, and more.
