What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

An injury that is temporary and relatively easy to recover from, such as a sprained ankle or whiplash, is considered minor. Severe injuries, on the other hand, that result in long-term complications or are permanent and can transform your life are known as catastrophic.

Some of the catastrophic injuries our team has seen and treated include:

Other catastrophic injuries include severe burns and amputations or loss of limbs. Any accident can lead to a serious injury, though some of the most common accidents include car crashes, slip and falls, and medical malpractice. Car accidents can be severe when large trucks are involved, and often the most vulnerable individuals like motorcyclists or pedestrians suffer catastrophic injuries because they lack safety features like seat belts.

Medical professionals can also cause catastrophic injuries when they make existing injuries worse, such as in surgery or some other procedure, or when they fail to diagnosis someone’s condition and don’t treat it before it becomes severe or deadly. No matter what accident caused your injuries, if you believe negligence is to blame, it’s in your best interests that you pursue a legal claim.

How Do I Know If I Have a Brain Injury?

Some catastrophic injuries are apparent in the aftermath of an accident, such as the loss of a leg or paralysis. However, other injuries are known to take time to appear. Brain injuries are a prime example of a catastrophic injury that might not be obvious at first. This is why we always recommend injured individuals get medical attention after an accident, even if they don’t feel pain.

Some warning signs of a brain injury include:

  • Headaches
  • Fatigue or drowsiness
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Problems speaking
  • Sensory issues like blurred vision
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Memory or concentration problems
  • Mood changes

If you’ve experienced any of the following after an accident, especially if you know you hit your head, seek medical attention immediately so your brain injury doesn’t worsen.

Why Catastrophic Injuries Involve High Damages

Catastrophic injuries tend to involve high damages because of their severity. A serious brain injury may require extensive time spent in the hospital, numerous surgeries, and medication, all of which can drive up the medical bills the patient receives when they’re discharged. Other catastrophic injuries that lead to lifelong disability, like paralysis, require future costs like physical therapy sessions, medical equipment purchases, and more.

Other damages to consider are:

  • Lost income or diminished earning capacity from missing or quitting work
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • At-home nursing care
  • Costs of retrofitting the home

Failing to file a personal injury claim or attempting to handle your case on your own isn’t an option when your future and your family’s well-being hangs in the balance. In order to have the best chance of recovering the amount your case is worth, you need to hire a firm that is recognized for its results.
