What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

A catastrophic injury us an injury that leaves the victim with permanent damage. The victim usually has a hard time performing daily work.

Some examples of serious or catastrophic injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI). Any type of impact to the head can result in an injury to the brain. People with serious TBI can suffer seizures or paralysis. Many experience personality changes, hearing loss, vision loss, or cognitive or learning deficits.
  • Spinal cord injuries. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that carries signals from the brain to control movement. Depending on the severity, an injury to the spinal cord can cause weakness or paralysis.
  • Severe burns. Third-degree burns go through the skin and affect deeper tissues. They are painful and require long-term treatment and rehabilitation.
