Catastrophic injuries cause permanent damage that is irreparable regardless of a verdict or a settlement. An injury is classified as catastrophic if it’s:
- Disabling
- Long-lasting, if not permanent
- Produced a deformity
- Requiring ongoing medical care
Types of Injuries That Are Catastrophic
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Brain injuries
- Severe burns
- Amputations and loss of limbs
- Organ damage
- Fractures
- Loss of vision
- Deformities
Catastrophic injuries can also lead to death in some cases. When a person’s death results from the carelessness or wrongdoing of another person or entity (e.g., a company), there may be a case for a wrongful death suit.
WHY DO I NEED A LAWYER?
An experienced catastrophic injury lawyer knows all the laws and regulations. A lawyer will explore the victim’s rights and offer advice on how to proceed in the case.
It’s challenging to grasp how much a catastrophic injury can impact different parts of the victim’s life, not to mention their loved ones. A catastrophic injury lawyer could help reach a settlement that will ease the financial burdens associated with the injury.
Examples include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Therapy expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
