A catastrophic injury is a personal injury that results in permanent disability, long-lasting medical problems, a decreased quality of life or reduced life expectancy. Catastrophic injury victims often require extremely expensive medical treatment and care. These injuries often require repeated and continued medical procedures and long-term medical care. Catastrophic injuries often impair quality of life and the victim's ability to support themselves and their family.
Catastrophic injuries often require are more complex and should be handled by an attorney with experience analyzing the various types of damages, the value of the damages, and the evidence necessary to support those damages. Catastrophic injury claims and non-catastrophic personal injury claims differ mostly in terms of the amount of money in controversy and legal complexity. Catastrophic injury claims can result in larger settlements because of the severity of the physical injuries suffered by the plaintiff. Damages awarded can include medical expenses and loss of income, as well as emotional damages for the injuries suffered.
Catastrophic personal injuries often have long-lasting effects. Victims of paralysis, brain injury, spinal cord injury may suffer ongoing issues that last for the remainder of their lives. Their lives will likely revolve around medical appointments, medication, and therapy. They may require numerous surgical procedures. Compensation for catastrophic injuries, therefore, must calculate and account for the long-term medical needs of the victim.
Catastrophic injury cases often require a great deal of medical and economic expertise to articulate the damages from the injury. Courts may expect to hear expert testimony from experts who have examined the patient and assessed their future needs.
Because catastrophic injury cases can lead to very large trial awards and settlements, defendants will often fight very hard to limit a person's recovery or have the matter dismissed entirely. Those defendants will often have the means to hire large teams of highly skilled attorneys who will vigorously defend their clients' interests.
