What is a Catastrophic Injury?
A “catastrophic injury” typically refers to certain disabling or debilitating injuries that primarily affect the head, brain, neck, and/or spinal cord, but can also result in serious or permanent damage to extremities or internal organs. Catastrophic injuries frequently result in paralysis and permanent disability and may ultimately be fatal.
A catastrophic injury could prevent the victim from being able to work or enjoy life as they once did. In many cases, a full recovery to a pre-injury quality of life will not be possible. Many people who suffer catastrophic injuries find themselves unable to work, care for themselves, or provide for their families.

Neck & Back Injury
Neck and back injuries, such as spinal disc herniations or ruptures, can cause chronic pain and weakness and require long-term therapy or even surgery to treat
Traumatic Amputation
Traumatic amputations, where a violent accident severs extremities such as toes, feet, legs, fingers, hands, and arms
Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can leave a victim with debilitating scar tissue or can lead to other complications such as infection
Multiple Bone Fractures

Compensation in Your Catastrophic Injury Case
Suffering a catastrophic injury almost always means incurring significant financial expenses and personal or emotional losses. When you suffer a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, willful acts, or other legal fault, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for damages such as:
- Past, ongoing, and future medical expenses, including hospital bills, surgery and other medical procedures, physical and occupational rehab, prescription medication, and mobility and other medical equipment
- Long-term care costs, such as home health aides, home maintenance, or alterations to your home, vehicle, or place of work to accommodate disabilities
- Lost wages and income for the time you miss from work while recovering from your injuries
- Lost earning capacity, if your catastrophic injury disables you from returning to full-time work or from performing any gainful employment
- Pain and suffering, or the physical and emotional anguish caused by your injuries
- Loss of enjoyment and quality of life, such as due to physical disabilities or disfigurement
In cases involving particularly egregious conduct by the at-fault party, you may also be awarded punitive damages. These damages don’t compensate for any loss but instead punish the at-fault party for their conduct and serve to deter others from engaging in similar conduct in the future.
