Catastrophic injuries include but are not limited to brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and internal organ injuries. Catastrophic injuries can occur as the result of nearly any type of accident but are most common following automobile accidents. Catastrophic injury cases are different from standard personal injury cases because they may involve long-term care needs and ongoing financial considerations.
Catastrophic injury cases often involve evaluating the extent of the injury and its potential impact on an individual’s ability to work. This may include reviewing medical information and other relevant documentation. In some cases, factors such as past and potential future losses may be considered.
