What is a Catastrophic Injury?

The definition of a catastrophic injury is often defined as an injury that will cause a permanent disability or change in the survivor’s life. In some contexts, a catastrophic injury is an injury that limits the survivor’s ability to make a gainful income. No matter the exact definition of a catastrophic injury, the common thread is that they often make for complicated, hard-fought claims and lawsuits that should be brought to a catastrophic injury attorney’s attention as soon as possible.

Different Forms of Catastrophic Injury

Lanier Law Group can handle catastrophic injury cases that involve:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): A brain injury can cause learning, speech, and mobility issues, along with a variety of other life-changing complications.
• Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can cause immediate and permanent paralysis that affects one or multiple limbs.
• Amputation injuries: The loss of a limb or digit is life-changing, especially if the amputation interrupts day-to-day life, entertainment, and work.
• Loss of hearing or vision: Sensory loss like blindness or deafness will require specialized care to relearn how to live without the lost sense.
• Third-degree burns: A third-degree burn is likely to cause permanent disfigurement. Some severe burns can even be the source of chronic or recurring pain.
• Organ failure or damage: Permanent organ failure can require permanent specialized medical care, which can quickly get expensive.
• Permanent scarring: Plaintiffs can get compensation for permanent, visible scarring and the harm it caused their self-image and self-esteem.

Common Treatments for Catastrophic Injuries

The treatments required to alleviate the symptoms or prevent a disability from a catastrophic injury can be intensive. For this reason, it is not unusual for the total damages associated with a catastrophic injury to be significant. Affording the necessary care can be impossible without a successful injury claim.

Treatments for catastrophic injuries can include:

• Emergency surgery
• Extended hospitalization
• Specialized rehabilitative therapy
• In-home aftercare and treatments

Living with a catastrophic injury after medical treatments can also be expensive. A catastrophic injury survivor might need unique adjustments made to their property, for example, such as wheelchair ramps throughout the home.

Compensation for Catastrophic Injuries

The purpose of a catastrophic injury case is to secure justice and compensation for our client. The amount of compensation that we pursue will be based on the specifics of your case, your injury, and how it has changed your life for the worse. Thanks to our extensive experience working on catastrophic injury claims specifically, we know how to accurately calculate the damages owed to you.

Compensation in a catastrophic injury claim can help pay for these damages and more:

• Past and future medical costs
• Rehabilitative therapy
• Future unearned income
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Lessened enjoyment of life
• Lost independence
• Shortened life expectancy

In complex cases, we can work with medical and accounting experts to get a full understanding of how your injury will change your life and financial stability. It is one of many ways that we can go above and beyond your expectations to do the most for your case.
