Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury is one where the consequence of the injury permanently inhibits the quality of life of the injured person and often prevents that individual from pursuing or performing any gainful employment. Catastrophic injuries are any injuries that have serious, long-term effects on the victim. After suffering a catastrophic injury, the victims’ life is turned upside down. Often the victim has a new reality involving painful movements and the inability to perform basic activities of daily living. The victim sometimes can no longer maintain a job that allows them to support themselves or their family. For many, their employment defines them as a person and the imposition of catastrophic injuries also eliminates a defining source of personal pride and purpose.
A catastrophic injury or illness usually occurs suddenly and without warning and can leave a person suffering from permanent disabilities for the rest of his/her life. Catastrophic injuries can often put serious stress on the victim’s family because they may need constant supervision or assistance for the rest of their lives, as well as a lifetime of rehabilitation and medical bills. A catastrophically injured person often has limitations on travel, exercise, participation in favorite hobbies or activities, and the inability to even care for themselves on a day-to-day basis in the way that a typical healthy person would. They may also suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that create emotional anguish in addition to the physical pain and suffering that inevitably come with a devastating and disabling injury.
