Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury or illness usually occurs suddenly and without warning. A catastrophic injury or illness very often causes severe disruption to the central nervous system, such as spinal cord injuries or severe burn injuries, which in turn affects many other systems of the body.
If a catastrophic injury was caused by the negligent or intentional act of another, or by a dangerous or defective product, a personal injury claim can improve quality of life, including the quality of the medical care and other support needed. Catastrophic injury settlements seek to compensate victims for this lifelong disability. Because of the huge financial implications a catastrophic injury has, one of the most important aspects of bringing a personal injury claim is the determination of the value of such a claim.
Types of Injuries that could be considered catastrophic include the following:
- Serious Head Trauma
- Eye Injury
- Shoulder Injury
- Foot Injury
- Neurological Disorders
