The Meaning of a Catastrophic Injury
While there are many serious events that can cause a catastrophic injury, such as a car accident, it might be difficult to understand the full implications of a catastrophic injury. A catastrophic injury means that a person will suffer long-term or permanent damage. This leads to a significant change in their way of life such as losing the ability to work and therefore losing income, or having chronic physical pain or emotional trauma. Catastrophic injuries should almost always be addressed with a lawsuit because of their significant negative effects.
Types Of Catastrophic Injuries
Another element of catastrophic injuries is understanding what would be defined as a catastrophic injury. Any type of damage to the brain or spine can be considered a catastrophic injury because those types of injuries are often permanent and significantly impact a person by cause serious issues such as paralysis. But even broken bones or severe bones could fall under the umbrella of catastrophic injury because of the pain and suffering as well as medical bills and potential loss of income.
