Catastrophic Injuries Will Need Prolonged Medical Treatment: Injuries are considered “catastrophic” when they are extremely severe, require prolonged medical treatment.
Many types of injuries fall into this category, including:
- Brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord injury
- Accidental amputation
- Severe burns
- Central nervous system damage
- Birth Injuries
- Truck Injuries
- Stage Four Infected Bed Sores
In addition to the main injuries, catastrophic injuries generally impact other body systems and all aspects of daily living.
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the lost wages, immediate and long-term medical bills, pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life.
