What is a Catastrophic Injury?
Defining Catastrophic Injury
When a person suffers a personal injury in an accident, there are different levels of severity involved. Minor accidents result in injuries that are not so severe, such as cuts, lacerations and bruises. Other accidents cause more serious harm, such as minor concussions, fractures, and burns. Catastrophic injuries are those that are considered the most severe or that cause lasting or permanent physical damage. Examples of such injury include the following:
Types of Accidents that Cause Permanent Damage
The most common cause of severe injury is car accidents, as well as
truck, bus and 18-wheeler accidents. Perhaps you have been injured in by a
drunk driver or a
texting driver. Vehicle crashes involve high speeds and harsh collisions that can result in most of the injuries listed above. Other vehicle accidents include
motorcycle accidents,
bicycle accidents and
boating accidents, as well as
ATV accidents.
A person could slip and fall, or a
defective product could malfunction and cause injury. Even
water and amusement park rides can injure a person in a lasting or permanent way. If you have suffered catastrophic injury from any such accident, you could be faced with unaffordable medical bills without adequate compensation gained with the help of an attorney. Call Lenahan Law Firm today.
