Types Of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are more than minor slip-and-fall accidents or routine fender benders. Some examples of major injuries include:
- Building collapses
- Train derailments
- Electrocutions
- Serious burn injuries, often resulting in disability or disfigurement
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Amputations
- Numerous broken bones in major car accidents
- Crush injuries and amputation injuries
Often, these are the types of injuries that require years of rehabilitation. In many cases, such as with serious brain injuries, full healing may not be possible – even with world-class medical care.
Potential Types Of Compensation
After catastrophic injuries, it is important to pursue all potential types of compensation you deserve. Do not accept a settlement offer that will not cover all the costs you’re facing. These may include:
- Your immediate medical bills and hospital costs from emergency treatment, transportation to the hospital and the like.
- Your long-term medical and health care needs, such as surgery, physical rehabilitation or the use of medication.
- Your short-term lost wages and long-term diminished earning capacity. Serious injuries often result in a substantial amount of time out of time at work.
- Your long-term wage issues, such as a reduction in your earning capacity – or the inability to work at all following a disabling injury.
- The pain and suffering you had to endure due to the accident.
- Your loss of basic enjoyment in life, like the ability to enjoy your hobbies, raise your children, and have an intimate relationship with your spouse.
Our team will help you gather evidence – such as medical records – and work toward maximizing the compensation that you receive.
