Understanding Catastrophic Injuries and Their Impact
A catastrophic injury is an injury so severe that it causes long-term, if not permanent, damage to a person. According to 42 U.S.C. § 3796b, the legal definition of a catastrophic injury is an injury in which “the direct and proximate consequences…permanently prevent an individual from performing any gainful work.”
Without being able to hold a job, catastrophic injury victims are especially in need of a large personal injury settlement to cover their costly and ongoing medical expenses.
Common Types of Catastrophic Injuries
Considering that a catastrophic injury is so broadly defined, it can come in many forms. However, this type of serious injury generally comes in one of three categories: physical injuries, spinal cord injuries, and cognitive injuries.
Physical injuries tend to affect a person’s orthopedic function or body tissue. Spinal cord injuries cause permanent mobility issues. Cognitive injuries arise from brain damage, which can affect a person’s ability to work, speak, or retain new memories.
Some of the most common examples of catastrophic injuries are:
- Quadriplegia
- Paraplegia
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury
- Severe fractures
- Loss of limb
- Third- and fourth-degree burns
- Organ damage
