What is a Catastrophic Injury?
In most cases, when an injury is referred to as "catastrophic," it means that the injury sustained to the victim is permanently life-changing. Most catastrophic injury victims will never be able to return to the life they once knew. Their quality of life will forever be altered due to their serious injury. The consequences of catastrophic injuries can leave victims with damages including:
Medical expenses
Loss of income
Loss of quality of life
Emotionally damage
If the catastrophic injury occurred as a result of an accident that was caused by negligent actions of another, it may be in the accident victim's best interest to pursue legal action to receive compensation for your damages. If you’re not sure if you have a claim or have general questions regarding your injury, be sure to reach out to our office.
Types Of Serious Injuries
Our Massachusetts law firm has the resources and experience to handle large-scale, complex litigation against negligent drivers, big business, healthcare providers, and insurance companies. We focus on major claims that involve car and truck accidents, government liability issues, defective products, medical malpractice, and improperly denied insurance claims involving:
(1) Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that every year, at least 1.7 million Traumatic Brain Injuries occur in the United States. That’s a stunning fact and shows just how many people a year have serious injuries. One of the most common are head and brain injuries, the majority of these injuries occur from motor vehicle accidents. In fact, these injuries kill thousands of people every year. If you’re fortunate enough to survive a traumatic brain injury, you’re more likely to develop long-term physical, cognitive, behavioral, and social problems.
(2) Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injuries
Most spinal cord injuries are caused by a sudden impact to the spine which dislocates or fractures the vertebrae. The majority of victims that have a spinal cord injury are sustained in auto accidents but they can also result from instances such as falls or construction accidents, 37 percent to be precise, says the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH). Dangerous spinal core injuries like paraplegia and quadriplegia can leave the victim immobile or unable to perform basic tasks.
(3) Traumatic Amputations
A traumatic amputation is the loss of a body part, such as an arm, finger, or leg, often resulting from some type of accident. Traumatic amputations usually occur as a result of car crashes, product malfunction, or work accidents. One of the most common industries we see this is construction. Most amputations occur as a result of limbs being crushed, burned, or exposed to dangerous chemicals. The most common type of traumatic amputation is partial hand amputation, which involves losing one or more fingers. Since amputations are permanent, the accident victim will continue to live with the physical and psychological limitations caused by the injury for the rest of their life.
(4) Back Injuries
Most workplace accidents and motor vehicle crashes involve back injuries, the majority of them are lower back injuries, according to NIH. Some of the most common lower back injuries include strains, sprains, fractured vertebrae and herniated discs. Back injuries can cause pain and limit the patient's movement, some victims may suffer from back pain for the rest of their life. To help victims deal with the pain, some may find relief with surgery, physical therapy, and medications.
(5) Internal Organ Damage
When it comes to your internal organs, they’re are vital to being healthy. While you do have organs in your body you can live without, most organs are irreplaceable. Organs are critical to ensuring regular and healthy body functions. Due to this, organ damage can lead to big serious complications and problems. Since these injuries are internal, organ damage may not be noticed right away. Victims suffering injures to their kidneys, spleen, bowels, lungs, liver, pancreas, and other organs may likely need surgical attention or organ transplants if their organs are beyond repair. If you’ve been in a serious accident, make sure you go to the hospital to be checked, it’s not worth waiting around.
(6) Crush Injuries
Last but not least, you also have crushing injuries. Crush injuries can have long-term effects on your body, this may include nerve damage, amputation, multiple fractures, and other severe injuries. A crush injury can also cause crush syndrome, which is a medical condition characterized by kidney failure and major shock.
Other types of personal injuries that can have devastating effects on a victim include internal bleeding, fractures, burn injuries, blindness, loss of fetus, and nerve damage.
