What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is often defined as an injury that threatens the victim’s life or changes their life forever due to a permanent disability. In some legal contexts, a catastrophic injury can also be defined as an injury that permanently limits the victim’s ability to hold gainful employment. The definitions of a catastrophic injury are important for your claim. If your injury is serious but not necessarily catastrophic, then the defense will jump on the chance to argue that your injury is exaggerated, or your damages are unjustified.

Our team of attorneys can work with medical and financial experts when building your case. In doing so, we can get a full understanding of how your health, finances, and well-being have changed because of your injury. This step will make it more difficult for the defense to argue that your injury is not catastrophic.

Common Examples of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries can take many forms. You do not need to sort among many law firms to find one that can help you based on your type of injury, though. Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers has an experienced team of catastrophic injury lawyers who can work on injury cases of all types.

A few of the most common types of catastrophic injuries included in claims are:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Spinal cord injury

Amputation

Burn injury

Severe bone fracture

Sensory loss

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

A blow to the head can change a life in an instant. TBI survivors often struggle with various mental and physical disabilities, which can take away the independence they once enjoyed.

Spinal cord injury

Damage to the spinal cord can sever it and cause immediate, permanent paralysis. The higher the damage to the spinal cord is along the spine, the more body parts can become paralyzed.

Amputation

Losing an arm, leg, foot, or hand is a life-changing injury, even if you can get a good prosthetic device later. It might even be possible to argue that the amputation of a finger is catastrophic if your career depended on the dexterous use of your hands.

Burn injury

Third-degree burn injuries are often considered catastrophic, especially if they afflicted a highly visible body part. For example, permanent facial scarring caused by a burn can alone justify a catastrophic injury claim.

Severe bone fracture

A broken bone is not always catastrophic. But when a bone breaks badly or does not heal correctly, it can result in permanent debilitations like a limp or weakness in the affected limb.

Sensory loss

Blindness or deafness caused by an accident can constitute a catastrophic injury because the loss of such important senses is inarguably life-changing.

High Values of Catastrophic Injury Claims

Catastrophic injury claims tend to have values that far exceed a typical personal injury claim. Insurance companies know as much, which is why they put up intense fights when a claimant says they have been catastrophically or permanently injured. Work with our team, and we can fight to make sure that you get paid for every penny of compensation you are owed, even if the value of your claim exceeds six or seven figures.

The past and future damages that can add to the value of your catastrophic injury claim include:

As Melinda's husband I was really worried about her after the accident. I can truly say Morris & Dewett helped her so much with the right doctors to see and an amazing settlement. I don't wish an accident on anyone, but if one does occur check out Morris & Dewett.

We highly recommend Morris & Dewitt especially Mrs. Hancock and her staff. Not only were they professional but they catered to our needs and sympathized with us in times of uncertainty. They were very easy to work with and made our journey easy. We received a very large settlement and are so thankful for their hard work and commitment.
