What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are permanent injuries that significantly alter the life and lifestyle of the injured individual. They can occur as a result of any type of accident, including workplace accidents, construction site accidents, auto accidents, defective products, or medical malpractice. Some of the injuries that might be considered catastrophic injuries include:

• Brain injuries - There are several terms used to describe brain injuries that can have significant long-term consequences, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), mild brain injuries, and open head wounds. Closed head brain injuries often go undiagnosed. While the symptoms are less obvious than the comas and vegetative states caused by TBI, mild brain injures can be just as serious. Some of the common symptoms of mild brain injuries include personality changes, memory problems, lack of focus, and inappropriate emotional responses.
  
• Spinal cord injuries - Spinal cord injuries have a wide range of effects. They can lead to paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia. Some of the other issues that are common with severe spinal cord injuries include lack of bowel and bladder control, loss of sexual function heart rate problems, and chronic pain. Some of the leading causes of severe spinal cord injuries include car and truck accident and construction site accidents. Spinal cord injuries can be devastating for the injured individual and their family. The costs of on-going medical care and accommodations are extensive.
  
• Severe Burns - Severe burns have significant short and long-term consequence. First, severe burns are extremely painful and require on-going, expensive medical treatment. They often result in permanent scaring, limited use of affected appendages, and severe restriction of the musculature system. Burn victims are also extremely susceptible to infections that can cause a host of serious complications. It can often take years to access the extent of damage caused by burn injuries.
  
• Multiple fractures and crushed bones - Often broken bones are not thought of as catastrophic injuries. However, broken and crushed bones can cause circulation problems that can lead to amputations. Often bone grafts are required to repair severely broken or crushed bones. These bone grafts can involve multiple surgeries and even when they are successful, bones may never be as strong as they were prior to the injury.

Our attorneys have significant experience representing individuals and families dealing with the consequences of serious injuries. We understand that catastrophic injury cases are as much about demonstrating the long-term consequences and costs of the injuries as they are about proving the cause of the injury. We regularly consult with doctors, long-term care specialists, and vocational rehabilitation experts to help us show the consequences of catastrophic injuries.
