What Defines a Catastrophic Injury Case
A catastrophic injury is one that results in long-term or permanent impairment. These cases typically involve serious damage to the brain, spine, or other critical systems of the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage often require ongoing medical care and significantly impact a person’s ability to work and live independently. In legal terms, catastrophic injury claims are structured around long-term consequences, not just immediate medical treatment.
