After a Catastrophic Injury . . . Finding Sufficient Insurance Coverage is Critical
An injury that is considered catastrophic is one that results in permanent or long-term damage and requires a lengthy and extensive recovery process. For victims and their family members, paying for medical bills and lost wages, while dealing with the physical and emotional aspects of these injuries, can be extremely challenging. When a catastrophic injury is the result of negligence or misconduct in an accident, obtaining full compensation is important and hiring an experienced attorney can help.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries in Personal Injury Cases
There are many types of catastrophic injuries that can affect the entire body, but generally these injuries disrupt the central nervous system and may cause a lack of movement and ability in different areas of the body. Treatment for these injuries is often very complex and requires long term-care, even if the victim receives early medical treatment.
Catastrophic injuries may include, but are not limited to:
- Severe burn injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries, including contusions, latent brain injuries and other damage
- Spine and spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis
- Amputations
- Broken back injuries
- Injuries that affect major organs
- Injuries to the eyes that leave victims blinded
After some catastrophic injuries, the long-term implications may not surface for several months or years after the original injury. Understanding the full range and scope of an injury requires immediate medical treatment from skilled doctors and other medical specialists. Our firm is actively involved in helping clients get the medical care they need so that complete assessments of their injuries can be made.
