What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is so severe that it results in permanent damage or disability. These injuries are often life-altering and may require ongoing medical treatment and care. In some cases, catastrophic injuries are fatal.

Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries include:

  • Severe burns
  • Amputations
  • Paralysis
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Organ damage
  • Blindness
  • Deafness
  • Multiple bone fractures
  • Severe disfigurement

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and care, including surgeries, hospital stays, and rehabilitation. In many cases, victims of catastrophic injuries are unable to return to work or require ongoing medical treatment and care for the rest of their lives.

How Do I Know If I Have a Catastrophic Injury?

After an accident, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Even if you do not think you are seriously injured, you should still see a doctor. Many catastrophic injuries do not present with immediate symptoms, and it may take hours, days, or even weeks for you to realize that you are seriously hurt.

For example, if you hit your head in a car accident, you may not realize that you have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) until you start experiencing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, or confusion. Similarly, if you are involved in a slip and fall accident, you may not realize that you have a spinal cord injury until you start experiencing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in your extremities.

For these reasons, seeing a doctor as soon as possible after an accident is important. A medical professional can evaluate you for hidden injuries and ensure you receive the necessary treatment. Additionally, seeing a doctor right away can help you establish a link between your injuries and the accident, which can be important if you file a personal injury claim.
