Cost of ongoing medical care
Pain and suffering

Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury or illness is one that has an enormous impact on the lives of those who experience them. It usually occurs suddenly and with no warning. Such injuries result in severe damage and disruption to an individual’s central nervous system, which then can affect many other parts of the body.

Such injuries can include:

Brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Accidental amputation
Slip and Fall
Severe burns
Multiple fractures
Neurological disorders

Catastrophic Injury Impact

The symptoms and conditions of a catastrophic injury are severe and often result in permanent disability requiring lifelong care. Such injuries cause loss of sensation and movement, brain damage that affects communicative and cognitive abilities, difficulty breathing, and impact to the urinary system, gastrointestinal system and other body systems.

Dealing with such an injury is complex and requires many different health professionals to manage. While recovery from catastrophic injuries is possible with early and proper treatment, others may have to struggle with a permanent disability, physical suffering and even a shortened life span.
