For someone considering a personal injury lawsuit against an individual or entity other than their employer, you should consider filing a claim for catastrophic injury. We generally consider a catastrophic injury as an injury that involves one or more of the following:
Causes long-term, debilitating symptoms.
Necessitates a lengthy recovery process (if recovery is even possible).
Requires constant assistance or live-in care.
Results in permanent disability (paralysis is a good example).
Results in a permanent loss of life quality.
Someone with a catastrophic injury may need numerous surgeries, grueling rehabilitation, or suffer some type of physical change that is going to impact them forever. If your back, neck, or disc injury leads to any of the above, you may be entitled to recover compensation from the responsible parties.
