Do I Have a Catastrophic Injury After an Accident?
When someone suffers a catastrophic injury, the impact goes far beyond physical pain. These are life-changing injuries which are sudden, severe, and often permanent. They can result from car accidents, motorcycle or boating collisions, serious falls, and other unexpected incidents.
Unlike more routine injuries such as whiplash or broken bones, catastrophic injuries include brain trauma, spinal cord damage, paralysis, severe burns, amputations, and loss of vision. These injuries affect every part of a person’s life from their ability to work or care for themselves, to how they interact with loved ones and engage in daily activities.
Under the Statutory Accident Benefit Schedule, catastrophic injuries are those that fall under one of eight criteria and result in a catastrophic impairment designation by an insurance company, entitling an injured car accident victim to access up to $1,000,000 in medical, rehabilitative and attendant care benefits.
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, you deserve support and fair compensation. A personal injury lawyer can help you access and claim medical and rehabilitative treatment, lost income, future care needs, and the pain and suffering that come with such a profound loss of quality of life.
