Common Legal Questions About Catastrophic Injuries
What is a catastrophic injury?
Thankfully most injuries we encounter on a daily basis are minor and our clients recover fairly quickly and well. However, there are many unfortunate situations in which an injury was so severe that it leads to long-term disability and even death. The specific body party that is injured usually determines the severity of an injury. A broken arm or foot has the potential to heal and be useful again. Yet many times when an injury occurs to the brain or spinal cord, it is considered to be a catastrophic injury because of the potentially life-altering effect it can have on the victim. The body part injured in an accident is often what determines the severity of an injury.
What are common types of catastrophic injury do your personal injury attorneys handle?
- Wrongful death
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
