Types Of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are more than simple slip-and-fall accidents or minor car crashes. Some examples include:
- Building collapses
- Electrocutions
- Serious burn injuries, often resulting in disability or disfigurement
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- 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 consider all potential types of compensation you deserve. Do not accept a settlement offer that will not cover all of 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 immediate lost wages, as these serious injuries often mean you will miss a substantial amount 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 disability.
- The pain and suffering you had to endure due to the accident.
- Your loss of basic enjoyment in life – the ability to enjoy your hobbies, raise your children, have an intimate relationship with your spouse, etc.
Our team will help you gather evidence – such as medical records – and work toward maximizing the compensation that you receive.
