What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
Whether it was the result of a car or truck accident or an injury at an industrial, oilfield, offshore, or other jobsite, a catastrophic injury is one that can permanently affect a person’s ability to work, live independently, or function the way they did before.
Common examples of a catastrophic injury include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Partial or complete paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Severe burns
- Amputations and loss of limb function
- Multiple fractures
- Organ damage
These injuries can arise from any type of accident, so there isn’t just one specific case strategy that applies to all these personal injury claims. These cases require extensive investigation by an attorney to identify exactly how and why the injury happened, and who bears responsibility for it.
Why Catastrophic Injury Claims Require More Than a Standard Settlement
Insurance companies often try to resolve catastrophic injury claims quickly, before the full scope of future medical needs is clear.
A fair recovery has to account for more than what’s already been spent, including:
- Future medical care, surgeries, and rehabilitation
- Home modifications and long-term assistive equipment
- Lost future earning capacity if you can’t return to your prior work
- The pain and suffering of a permanent, life-altering injury
Working with medical experts and life-care planners, our attorney can build a complete picture of what your recovery will truly cost over the course of your life, not just what’s owed today. Texas law also allows a claim to be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. Building a thorough, well-documented case matters from day one, so that your claim doesn’t get unfairly reduced or denied.
