Catastrophic Injury
As top rated accident lawyers know, there’s no strict legal definition but catastrophic injuries result in life-altering, significant, long-term/permanent consequences, which may include disability and/or disfigurement. Victims require extended medical care, treatments, surgery, rehabilitation, psychiatric/psychological counseling, medications, care-givers, etc for perhaps the entire life time.
Car accident and personal injury lawyers can assist victims/families to prepare a detailed life-care plan that details present, past and future medical care expenses, care-giver expenses etc related to injuries suffered in the accident.
Types of catastrophic injuries include:
- Brain/Spinal cord damage
- Birth Injury
- Multiple organ damage
- Loss of function
- Amputation
- Persistent vegetative state
- Paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia
- Severe burns/scarring
and many more.
