“After a major accident that happened to my family and I, we had the pleasure of working with Lance Livingston. He kept us informed, answered us quickly, and most of all, was patient with my million questions.”

Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries change the course of people’s lives. Dreams and hopes are derailed as victims must adjust to a new, compromised way of life. Fortunately, many victims of catastrophic injuries have recourse against those who have harmed them.

Through a personal injury claim or lawsuit, an individual who suffers a catastrophic injury can seek damages from another party. However, the compensation process requires that the victim demonstrate that that party caused their injury through negligent, reckless or intentional behavior.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury causes long-term damage that prevents a person from engaging in normal activities. The injured individual may no longer be able to provide for him- or herself financially or even take care of basic needs.

Many types of events can lead to catastrophic injuries, such as:

Aviation accidents
Bicycle accidents
Traffic accidents
Work accidents
Medical malpractice
Intentional violence
Slip-and-fall accidents
Other premises-liability incidents

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, you may be entitled to seek damages for your losses. When a catastrophic injury is involved, those losses may be significant.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries and Associated Losses

Catastrophic injuries may be horrific outcomes of reckless or negligent behavior and forever alter a person’s life. Injuries that are considered catastrophic include:

Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Fractured or crushed bones
Eye injuries
Severe burns
Loss of digits
Amputations
Severe internal damage
Loss of an organ
Paralysis

Sadly, many victims of catastrophic injuries eventually succumb to their wounds but only after an extended period of suffering and expensive medical treatment.

Justice Through Compensation

Justice through compensation is available for victims of catastrophic injuries. They can pursue funds that will help them build a future despite their injuries.

Monetary Compensation

Victims of catastrophic injuries can seek monetary compensation for a variety of expenditures and monetary losses, including:

Medical treatment
Hospital stays
Medication
Lost income from time off work
Lost earning capacity
Expenses related to modifications made to the home and to automobiles
Expenses related to the hiring of home care workers to help around the house

If property damage was involved, the injured party may seek compensation to cover the property as well.

Nonmonetary Compensation

Not all losses are financial in nature. Emotional and psychological losses are just as impactful as monetary losses and include:

Physical and emotional pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement and scarring
Permanent disability
Loss of consortium

In cases where the injuring party acted maliciously or willfully, the victim may also be entitled to punitive damages.
