CATASTROPHIC INJURY
Catastrophic injuries are defined as injuries that result in serious and permanent effects on the victim’s health and well-being. Those suffering from catastrophic injuries may require long-term care, see their quality of life diminish, and be forced to bear steep medical and rehabilitative costs. In many cases, they could also be left unable to work, so paying for those expenses becomes even more difficult.
When severe injuries result from an accident that was someone else’s fault, the injured individual may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party in order to claim compensation for their injuries. These cases can be highly complex, however, so if you wish to file a lawsuit for your damages, you may need to speak with a catastrophic injury lawyer.
