What Is a “Catastrophic” Injury? 

Generally speaking, an injury that causes significant and/or permanent disability, impairment, or limitation of a bodily system, function, or member is considered “catastrophic.” 

Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:

Certain illnesses and medical conditions, including many mental health disorders, may also be considered “catastrophic.” Essentially, if an injury, illness, or medical condition significantly affects the individual’s life, it may be categorized as a “catastrophic injury.” 

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries 

Any serious accident or traumatic event may result in catastrophic injuries. However, some incidents more commonly cause these types of injuries than others.

The leading causes of catastrophic injury include: 

A common underlying theme is negligence. Many catastrophic injuries result not from the carelessness or recklessness of the victim but, rather, the negligent or wrongful conduct of another party. When this is the case, victims and/or their family members have the right to take legal action. 

The Effects of a Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries have numerous, wide-ranging effects on the lives of both victims and their loved ones. Not only do these injuries cause immense physical pain and emotional suffering, but they also tend to lead to life-changing financial hardships as well.

The cost of treating catastrophic injuries can be enormous, often exceeding tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. To make matters worse, catastrophically injured victims are often left with permanent disabilities or impairments that prevent them from returning to work or obtaining any gainful employment at all. This can make it even harder to make ends meet, and many injured victims and their families struggle to keep up with mounting medical costs, bills, and everyday expenses. 

At the Law Offices of Willie D. Powells III & Associates PLLC, we recognize the immense impact catastrophic injuries have on victims and their families. Our goal is to recover the full, fair amount you are owed for your damages.

In some cases, you may even be entitled to punitive damages. Unlike the compensatory damages listed here, punitive damages are not meant to compensate you for your specific losses after a severe injury. Instead, they are awarded to punish the defendant for gross negligence, egregious misconduct, or willful/wanton disregard for the lives, safety, and wellbeing of others. 

Our firm can review the details of your case and determine what types of compensation you are entitled to receive, as well as the potential overall value of your claim. 

We are here to provide you with the information you need to make empowered decisions about your case, your recovery, and your future.

Depending on the specific details of your catastrophic injury case, you could be entitled to compensation for the following economic and non-economic damages: 

  • Emergency medical care
  • Hospitalization 
  • Ambulance/emergency transportation fees
  • Prescription and over-the-counter medications
  • Medical treatments and care
  • Rehabilitation 
  • Physical therapy 
  • Medical devices and equipment
  • Prosthetics 
  • Future medical expenses
  • Lost income, wages, and employment benefits 
  • Physical and mental pain and suffering 
  • Loss of future earnings and benefits 
  • Lost or diminished earning capacity 
  • Disfigurement 
  • Mental anguish and distress
  • In-home assistance and care costs 
  • Home modifications to accommodate a new disability
