What is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a severe and often life-altering injury that results in long-term or permanent disabilities. It typically involves significant physical harm to the body and can have a profound impact on an individual's quality of life, independence, and ability to perform daily activities.

Catastrophic injuries often result from accidents, such as:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Workplace incidents
• Construction accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Sports-related mishaps
• Assaults

Catastrophic injuries can result in significant medical costs, loss of income, permanent disabilities, and other damages. Catastrophic injuries can be life-altering and life-threatening.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries We Can Help With

Our attorneys can help if you have suffered any of the following injuries:

• Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI): SCI often leads to partial or complete paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury. Paraplegia refers to the paralysis of the lower limbs, while quadriplegia (or tetraplegia) involves paralysis of both the upper and lower limbs.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): TBIs occur when a sudden impact or penetrating injury damages the brain. They can result in a wide range of cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments. The severity of a TBI can range from mild (concussion) to severe, with long-lasting or permanent disabilities.
• Severe Burns: High-degree burns, which damage multiple layers of the skin, can lead to catastrophic injuries. Burns can cause excruciating pain, disfigurement, and permanent scarring. They may also result in complications such as infections, respiratory problems, or organ damage.
• Amputations: The loss of a limb, whether through traumatic injury or surgical removal, can have a profound impact on an individual's mobility and independence. Amputations can require prosthetic limbs and extensive rehabilitation to regain functionality and adapt to the physical changes.
• Broken Bones: Severe fractures involving multiple bones or complex fractures that affect critical areas of the body can be considered catastrophic injuries. These fractures can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and potential complications such as nerve damage or infections.
• Organ Damage: Catastrophic injuries may involve damage to vital organs like the heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys. Organ damage can significantly impact overall health and may necessitate ongoing medical treatments, surgeries, or the need for organ transplants.
• Severe Head and Neck Injuries: Injuries to the head and neck region, including skull fractures, severe whiplash, or injuries to the cervical spine, can lead to neurological impairments, chronic pain, and mobility limitations.
• Paraplegia: Paraplegia is paralysis that affects the lower half of the body, typically including the legs and, in some cases, the lower trunk and pelvic organs. It commonly occurs due to spinal cord injuries below the chest level.
• Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia: Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, involves paralysis affecting both the upper and lower extremities, as well as the trunk. It typically results from spinal cord injuries higher up in the neck or upper spinal regions.
• Crush Injuries: Crush injuries occur when a body part is subjected to extreme force or pressure, often resulting in severe damage to muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and bones. These injuries can lead to long-term complications and require extensive medical interventions.
• Vision or Hearing Loss: Severe trauma to the head or sensory organs can lead to catastrophic injuries such as permanent vision loss or complete hearing impairment. These injuries can significantly impact an individual's daily functioning and quality of life.
