Find Catastrophic/Serious Injury Attorneys By State
Catastrophic injury law, like personal injury, falls under Tort Law. It involves a civil lawsuit for a lump sum monetary settlement or on-going compensation for a catastrophic injury suffered by the victim. Similar to personal injury cases, the victim must prove that the defendant is liable by proving that either negligence or a willful act by the defendant was involved.
Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury tends to be devastating and permanent in nature. Injuries of this sort normally happen suddenly and without warning. Injuries classified as catastrophic result in severe disruptions or impairments to one or more bodily systems, such as the neurological, skeletal or muscular system, and they have a severe impact on the victim's life and on those of his/her loved ones. While some people may recover from catastrophic injuries suffered in an accident or exposure to toxic substances (lead paint, asbestos, toxic molds, etc.), others are permanently disabled, are subject to extreme long-term suffering, and sometimes even experience a significantly shortened lifespan.
Catastrophic injuries sometimes do not surface or are not apparent for many years (e.g., an old fracture that heals improperly can result in extremely painful bone stretching or other complicated medical procedures, long-term growth platelet issues if it's a childhood injury, and even loss of use in the affected limb). Catastrophic injuries can include traumatic head or brain injuries, brain damage, eye injuries resulting in loss of sight, loss of hearing, spinal cord injuries, accidental amputation, severe burns, severe scarring and/or disfigurement, compound or multiple fractures, severe loss of mobility, bodily system damage due to toxic exposure or lead paint poisoning, paralysis, and/or other neurological disorders.
