What Defines a Catastrophic Injury Case
A catastrophic injury is one that results in long-term or permanent impairment. These cases often involve serious damage to the brain, spine, or other critical systems of the body. The focus is not only on immediate treatment, but on how the injury affects a person’s ability to work, function, and live independently.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage often require ongoing medical care and can significantly impact a person’s ability to live independently.
