If you have suffered a catastrophic injury because of another party’s recklessness, carelessness or misconduct, you may be eligible for compensation. Catastrophic injuries can occur in all types of accidents. Auto accidents, 18 wheeler accidents and pipeline explosions commonly leave their victims with severe, life-altering injuries and disabilities.

Catastrophic or serious injuries include the following:

• Head or brain injuries that result in loss of hearing or sight, problems with motor skills, or diminished cognitive functions;
• Neck or spinal cord injuries that result in partial or total paralysis;
• Serious burn injuries;
• Damage to internal organs, such as the heart, kidneys or lungs; and
• Dismembered, amputated or broken arms or legs.

People with catastrophic injuries often suffer long-term or permanent disabilities. These disabilities may shorten a person’s life, as well as generate ongoing medical problems, physical pain, and emotional suffering. Catastrophic injuries are also life-altering for the victim’s family members, who must adjust their priorities and work to care for their loved one.
