Catastrophic Injuries Defined

All injuries will feel serious when they happen to you. But not all injuries are catastrophic by definition or when considered in the context of a personal injury case.

A catastrophic injury can be defined as an injury that:

• Prevents the victim from holding gainful employment; or,
• Permanently disabled the victim in a significant capacity; or,
• Potentially threatens the life and livelihood of the victim.

There are many types of catastrophic injuries when considering these definitions. Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputations are among the most common and severe catastrophic injuries. Chronic illnesses, sensory loss like blindness or deafness, and permanent scars in visible areas are also catastrophic.

Significant Compensation for Catastrophic Injury Claimants

Catastrophic injuries will call for significant medical treatment. They can also disrupt all aspects of a victim’s life for years if not permanently. When both of these issues are considered, the value of a catastrophic injury claim can be steep.

Economic damages available in a catastrophic injury claim can include:

• Years or a lifetime of lost wages and reduced income capacity.
• Medical costs for all treatments, including those that are necessary for the future.
• Nursing care costs if you require daily or frequent assistance from an in-home nurse.

Non-economic damages available in a catastrophic injury claim can include:

• Pain and suffering you have endured due to the injury or illness.
• Hardships you will endure due to permanent disabilities.
• Your overall loss of enjoyment of life due to the troubles caused by your injury.

Our law firm will want to take ample time to calculate all of your damages as accurately as possible. We don’t want to leave a dollar behind, so you can demand the most compensation needed to give you a comfortable recovery and future. On the other side of the case, though, the opposing insurance company will not be happy that we are so careful with our damage calculations. It will want to give you the least amount of money possible, which might even mean no money at all. It will put up a serious fight as the value of your case climbs, but we will be ready.
