What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

Catastrophic injuries refer to injuries that come with serious and life-altering consequences. Many catastrophic injuries require surgical treatment and extensive hospitalization to heal from, as well as future costs of care if it leads to a disability.

Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries include:

• Brain injuries
• Burn injuries
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputations
• Loss of senses, including hearing and sight

Any injury that prevents you from working full-time or requires lifelong accommodations or medications can be considered catastrophic. Any accident can result in these types of injuries depending on the force applied and other factors, but car accidents, slip and falls, and medical malpractice are common accidents that produce severe injuries and damages.

Car Accidents

Cars that are speeding apply more force in crashes, which is why injuries tend to be more severe or fatal. It’s well known that truck accidents tend to lead to catastrophic injuries because trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Some of the most vulnerable people in these road crashes are pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists—people who lack the safety features that those riding in passenger or commercial vehicles have.

Slip & Falls

People who slip and fall, whether it be on wet flooring or a loose cord, can easily be severely injured depending on how they land. Landing on your back or head, for example, can lead to a spinal cord injury or brain injury that can result in permanent damage, especially if not treated. Those who fall from heights, such as construction workers who fall off platforms or individuals who trip down a flight of stairs, can also acquire life-altering injuries.

Medical Malpractice

Medical mistakes can be some of the most disastrous, even when they happen during routine procedures. One small error during surgery can puncture an organ, and a failure to diagnose someone’s symptoms can lead to a rapid decline in a person’s health. And, of course, errors made during pregnancy or childbirth can forever change the way a child will live their lives.
