Catastrophic injury settlements typically include medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity in the future, pain and suffering, and other damages. While your settlement will depend on your specific injuries, whether liability is clear, and how your catastrophic injuries will alter your future, catastrophic claims usually settle for anywhere from $75,000 to more than a million dollars. Those who suffer a catastrophic injury will encounter considerable medical expenses and may be unable to return to work and make a living for months, years, or ever.
