PURSUING COMPENSATION FOR SERIOUS INJURIES

WHAT QUALIFIES AS A CATASTROPHIC INJURY?

Typically, injuries classified as “minor” are those that victims can recover from with short-term care. These can include cuts and abrasions, whiplash, sprains and fractures, and sometimes broken bones. A catastrophic injury, on the other hand, is an injury so serious that victims have permanent damage and require long-term or even lifelong care.

Those suffering from catastrophic injuries may even have to quit their jobs if they no longer can perform them, and the way they live their lives may change. Some may require medical equipment or at-home assistance to perform even the simplest daily tasks.

Common types of catastrophic injuries include:

Catastrophic injuries often result in damage to one’s functional capabilities, be it physical or mental. Amputations are also considered a catastrophic injury, as victims need to adjust to living life without the use of a limb and may be required to change their vocations.

DANGERS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is an injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain that is typically caused by a blow, jolt, or bump to the head. It can also be caused by an object that penetrates your brain tissue, such as a bullet. While more mild TBIs can affect your brain cells temporarily, many TBIs are more serious and have lasting damage on your brain cells and/or your brain tissue, resulting in cognitive disfunction and sometimes death.

It’s important to seek medical attention immediately if you’ve received a blow to the head, as seemingly mild symptoms like headaches can be indicative of a traumatic brain injury.

TBIs can result in dangerous complications and put victims into comas or a vegetative state, which can lead to brain death. They may also induce seizures, causes paralysis, or even result in the loss of sense of smell, taste, and vision. TBI victims can also suffer from cognitive problems like the loss of memory or impaired judgment, and parts of their core personality may change.

SYMPTOMS OF SPINAL CORD INJURIES

If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention immediately:

Serious spinal cord injuries can result in paralysis or loss of function and feeling in your limbs, as well as severe spasms in affected limb areas. When you call our team, we can determine how much your case is worth and pursue the full amount of compensation you deserve.
