What does it mean to have a catastrophic injury?

When you think of personal injuries, you probably think of something that a person will recover from. However, a catastrophic injury is different. The injuries we want to talk about today are those that are life-altering for victims and their families.

• These injuries impact a person’s ability to lead their lives
• These injuries can prevent a person from working

Catastrophic injuries are those that usually limit a person’s mobility or cognitive abilities. Consider the following:

• Spine or spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Skull or spinal fractures
• The loss of a limb
• Internal organ damage or failure

The costs for treating these injuries will extend well beyond the considerable initial medical expenses. You must also consider all of the following:

• Cost of rehabilitation
• Long-term care if necessary
• Any necessary medical devices
• Home or vehicle accommodations for mobility
• Emotional and psychological care
• Lost wages and benefits if a person can no longer work

Each catastrophic injury is unique and sees different challenges and costs:

• The first year of medical care for a spinal cord injury can cost anywhere from $359,000 to over $1.1 million depending on the severity of the injury. Each year of care following that can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• Losing a limb often requires expensive prosthetics. Around 185,000 people lose a limb each year in the US.
• There are over 2 million new traumatic brain injury cases each year in this country.

Most people think of these injuries as being caused by car collisions, but there are various other ways they occur, including:

• Pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents
• Workplace incidents
• Medical mistakes
• Falls from height
• Sports incidents
• Defective products
