What is a Catastrophic Injury?
An injury is defined as “catastrophic” when it is severe and often life-altering, causing significant physical or mental impairment that results in long-term or permanent disability. Catastrophic injuries typically have a profound impact on an individual’s ability to perform daily activities, be gainfully employed, and can prevent them from enjoying a normal quality of life.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury:
Car Accident: A violent car accident can be absolutely devastating to all parties involved, even when they properly utilize all safety equipment available. Whiplash, a neck injury that causes severe pain and may never fully fade, is quite common in rear-end accidents.

Trucking Accidents: Commercial trucks and tractor-trailers operated negligently place great hazards on the highways for all other vehicles. The result is often a truck accident that causes catastrophic injuries to drivers in smaller cars.

Construction Accidents: Workers in the construction industry and other fields with heavy equipment can be catastrophically injured in most accidents, such as scaffolding collapse or slip and fall injuries.
