The American Medical Association defines a catastrophic injury as a severe injury to the spine, spinal cord, or brain, which can include fractures to the skull or spine. Catastrophic injuries can also include the loss of a limb, paralysis, severe burn injuries, disfigurement, emotional distress (such as post-traumatic stress disorder) and injuries that result in significant scarring. Persons who have sustained catastrophic injuries may require multiple reconstructive surgeries and substantial medical treatment; suffer permanent disability, impairment or disfigurement along with significant suffering; and may endure a lifetime of medical care or their life expectancy may be substantially shortened. These types of injuries are often caused by a motor vehicle, motorcycle, boat, or product liability accident.

These types of injuries can devastate a family both financially and emotionally due to the need for long term personal assistance, 24-hour care and modifications to your home. Victims of personal injury are entitled to financial compensation for their past and future medical expenses, personal care, loss of income and other financial losses, and pain and suffering. Rehabilitation for catastrophic injuries may require a large team of caregivers such as a neurologist, neurosurgeon, psychiatrist, neuro-psychologist, vocational expert, life-care planner, orthopedic surgeon and physical, occupational and speech therapists. In most cases, the lives of the injured person’s family are completely disrupted as they focus their energies on securing proper medical care.

Cases involving catastrophic injuries are often complex and require the retention of expert witnesses. Medical experts can testify to the severity and permanency of an injury. Accident reconstructionists are able to illustrate the moments leading up to an accident to determine whom was at fault. Other types of experts often utilized in personal injury cases are life care planners, economists, vocational rehabilitation experts or engineers.
