Catastrophic injuries cause permanent or long-term disabilities that can make it impossible for a victim to take care of themselves, let alone go to work. These injuries can require extensive medical treatments, long-term physical and/or occupational therapy, and massive lifestyle changes.
Two Examples of Catastrophic Injuries:
Traumatic Brain Injuries - An injury to the brain caused by a physical force like a blow, hit, fall or serious car accident. This type of injury can cause temporary or permanent impairment of brain function and changes to personality.
Spinal Cord Injuries - Injuries to the spinal cord, the thick bundles of nerve fibers that allow your brain to communicate with other nerves throughout your body, can lead to partial or complete paralysis and make it impossible for victims to be mobile or independent.
