What is a catastrophic injury?

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.
