What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that results in long-term or permanent disabilities. These injuries often involve significant damage to the brain, spine, or spinal cord, and they typically require extensive medical treatment and ongoing care.

Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns
• Amputations
• Paralysis
• Blindness
• Organ damage

Catastrophic injuries often result in significant emotional trauma for victims and their families. They are also financially devastating, as victims typically require extensive medical treatment and are unable to work and earn an income. In some cases, a catastrophic injury may even result in a victim’s death.

What Are the Causes of Catastrophic Injuries?

Most catastrophic injuries are caused by someone else’s negligence. In other words, if not for the careless, reckless, or wrongful act of another person or party, the victim would not have been injured. As such, those who cause catastrophic injuries can be held liable for the resulting damages.

Some of the most common causes of catastrophic injuries include:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Construction accidents
• Defective products
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse

What Damages Are Available in a Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit?

If you have been catastrophically injured, you are entitled to seek compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. In some cases, you may also be eligible for punitive damages.

Economic damages include:

• Medical expenses
• Costs of rehabilitation
• Costs of ongoing care
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity

Non-economic damages include:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In cases where the liable party acted with gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be available. Punitive damages are not meant to compensate the victim for any specific losses, but rather to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior from happening again in the future.
