What Qualifies a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries are severe, life-changing conditions causing long-term or permanent disabilities. Legally speaking, a catastrophic injury is one whose repercussions permanently prohibit the victim from engaging in gainful activity. Due to their severity, these injuries profoundly impact a person’s ability to enjoy life as they once did. Victims also undergo prolonged medical treatment and rehabilitation. Common examples of bodily damage that may qualify as catastrophic injuries include:
- Irreparable organ damage
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
- Severe burns
- Multiple fractures or crush injuries
- Loss of limbs or amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
These cases are quite different from milder injuries, such as whiplash or soft tissue damage, in terms of their complexity and the stakes involved. Because catastrophic injuries demand significant compensation to address their devastating impact on the victim's life, it is highly recommended to have the proper catastrophic injury attorney handling your claim.
