More About Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries result from accidents or events that cause significant physical harm, usually requiring extended hospital stays and rehabilitation. These are injuries from which you may only partially recover or that may permanently affect you, resulting in a substantial decrease in quality of life, earning capacity, and personal independence.

Examples of these types of injuries can include: 

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is are caused by a blow to the head or penetration of the skull resulting in brain swelling, bleeding, and damage. This can result in a coma, amnesia, cognitive dysfunction, personality changes, and other mental, emotional, and physical injuries.
• Spinal cord injury. When the spinal cord is bruised, damaged, or severed, it can result in bodily dysfunction below the affected area, such as paralysis, loss of sensation, loss of control of organs, and more.
• Severe burns. Burns are among the most painful of all injuries and can result in deadly infection and permanent scarring. They often require surgeries to repair damaged skin and tissue.
• Paralysis due to neck or back injuries. Fractures and damage to these parts of the body commonly cause paralysis from which recovery may not occur.
• Amputation. Some limbs are so damaged in accidents that they must be removed to save the life of the victim. This leads to the need for rehabilitation and prosthetics.
• Nerve damage. Severe nerve damage can result in loss of sensation and function in the affected area.
• Organ damage/failure. Damage to internal organs, such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, stomach, and more can result in the need for lifelong treatment and permanent impairment.
• Loss of vision or hearing. Losing one’s sight or hearing can severely diminish one’s quality of life and earning ability, and require additional rehabilitation to function in society. 

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

The most common cause of catastrophic injuries is car accidents, followed by other traffic accidents, such as those involving motorcyclists, pedestrians, large commercial trucks, and bicyclists. They can additionally be caused while playing contact sports, such as football, soccer, and hockey, as well as in construction and industrial accidents or criminal attacks. 

These are injuries that require professional legal action to ensure that you secure all of the compensation you will need going forward in life. Because of their severity, these injuries cost more and take longer to treat, cause longer-lasting or permanent disability, result in earning inability, are generally more painful in duration and intensity, may lead to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other emotional problems, and can result in permanent disfigurement or impairment.
