Injuries are catastrophic if they cause severe and life-altering impairment. They may leave you with chronic pain or needing live-in care or life-long medical treatment. Catastrophic injuries may also prevent you from permanently engaging in gainful work.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Limb loss
- Paralysis
- Severe burns
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury
- Ruptured internal organs
- Loss of sight or hearing
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Severe back or neck injury
- Permanent disability or loss of function
A catastrophic injury attorney from our team at Speaks Law can examine your case and advise whether your injuries may qualify as catastrophic.
