Common types of catastrophic injuries include the following:
Traumatic brain injury: these types of brain injury can result in permanent disability or in the worst cases, a vegetative state.
Limb amputation: the loss of a limb requires constant medical care and will permanently impact the quality of life.
Broken bones: cases of multiple broken bones can lead to medical complications and long-term damage.
Eye injury: the partial or full loss of vision will affect one’s life greatly. The extent of personal and financial loss must be considered when compensation is pursued.
Paralysis (paraplegia and quadriplegia): spinal cord injuries can leave one permanently paralyzed. In such a case every form of compensation must be fought for by an experienced personal injury attorney.
