Catastrophic injuries, by their very nature, can require serious medical attention and large medical bills. They can also have a potentially devastating impact on the rest of the injured person's life and the people's lives around them. Catastrophic personal injuries can result from:
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle Accident
- Car Accidents
- Defective Products
- Medical Malpractice
- Dog Bites
- Premises Liability
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Spinal Cord Injuries
Although all personal injuries are very serious, catastrophic injuries can permanently bar a person from living the life they want to, and can even profoundly affect the emotional well being of the injured party.
Personal injuries involving the brain, neck, and back are often considered much more serious than any other type of personal injury because of the life-altering consequences they can cause. Catastrophic personal injuries can cause a person to:
- Require Full-time care
- Have a Change in Personality
- No longer Move Voluntarily
- Not Have the Ability to Work
- Have Speech Problems
- Have Comprehension Problems
- Have Chronic Pain
The results of catastrophic personal injuries may not present themselves immediately after the personal injury. Many times, results like personality changes, or chronic pain are observed in the months and years following the catastrophic personal injury.
If you are filing a catastrophic personal injury claim, a personal injury lawyer will be able to get you the compensation you deserve. Through a catastrophic personal injury claim, you can recover costs for:
- Lost Wages
- Loss of Future Wages
- Medical Bills
- Future Medical Bills
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
- Pain and Suffering
- Mental Anguish
- General Damages
