Catastrophic Injury

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

A catastrophic injury is a serious, debilitating injury that leaves a person with severe symptoms and medical conditions.  Common catastrophic injuries include brain injuries, birth injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries and amputations.  When a person sustains a catastrophic injury, their lives will be disrupted as they try to overcome the side effects that are associated with their traumatic injuries.  Unlike other types of injuries, catastrophic injuries may never heal.  This means that aside from physical pain, injury victims may also suffer from lost quality of living, emotional trauma and immense frustration. 

Symptoms of Catastrophic Injuries

Typically, injuries are categorized as catastrophic if they impact a person’s central nervous system, respiration, digestion, circulation or mobility.  People who sustain catastrophic injuries may develop a vast array of symptoms over the course of time such as paralysis, respiratory dysfunction, digestive dysfunction, sexual dysfunction or loss of coordination.

After a person has incurred a catastrophic injury, he/she will need ongoing medical treatment from doctors, specialists, nurses and physical therapists.  Additionally, the person may no longer be able to work or live a normal quality of life.  For this reason, many people who incur catastrophic injuries choose to file personal injury lawsuits when their injuries result from third party negligence.  Catastrophic injury victims who successfully file personal injury lawsuits may receive damages for their current and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and lost quality of life. 

In order to receive fair compensation, victims of catastrophic injuries will need to obtain the services of a lawyer that has extensive experience handling cases that involve permanent injuries and disabilities caused by negligence, such as the personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of David D.
