There are many different definitions and types of
catastrophic injuries. In short, a catastrophic injury is an injury that has an
immediate and/or long-term impact on a victim’s quality of life. These injuries
are extremely painful and affect at least one bodily system, often resulting in
permanent disability, life-long medical conditions, and shortened life
expectancy.
While all injuries are serious, especially those
caused by the negligence of another, catastrophic injuries are classified as
the most severe type of injury. They affect not only the victim, but those close
to the victim, as the victim will typically need constant care and attention
from others for the rest of his or her life.
Catastrophic injuries are caused many different ways, including
auto collisions, medical malpractice, work injuries, and even dangerous
products or properties. We have made it a priority in our practice to help victims
and their families after any injury but we felt it important to reach out to catastrophically
injured victims and give them a place to find hope after such a difficult time.
