What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is defined as an injury that leads to fatality, severe physical trauma, permanent functional disability, or temporary functional disability, per the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research (NCCSIR).

A catastrophic injury occurs suddenly and is life-altering in some way for the victim. Typically, injuries to the brain, spine, and spinal cord are considered catastrophic, but many other injuries qualify as well. Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:

  • Brain injuries (e.g. concussion or coma)
  • Paralysis (e.g. quadriplegia, paraplegia, etc)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Spine injuries (e.g. herniated disc)
  • Amputated limbs
  • Severe burns
  • Ruptured or damaged organs
  • Infections
  • Wrongful death

How Does Catastrophic Injury Occur?

These devastating injuries can occur in a host of different situations and accidents, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Falls from heights or otherwise
  • Sports and recreational activities
  • Medical errors
  • Dangerous drugs
  • Defective medical devices
  • Abuse

Regardless of the cause, a catastrophic injury leaves the victim and their family with a number of medical bills and a harrowing set of other financial and life challenges. A Catonsville catastrophic injury lawyer at our firm will work tirelessly to help you recover the compensation you need and deserve from those responsible.

How Much Is a Catastrophic Injury Case Worth in Catonsville, Maryland?

The specifics of your case will determine its monetary value. In particular, the severity of your injuries and losses associated with the accident that caused them will directly impact the amount of compensation you can receive. A personal injury lawyer can calculate the total value of your catastrophic injury case in Catonsville by assessing the damages you can receive for economic and non-economic losses.

Under Maryland law, victims in personal injury cases are entitled to recoup financial compensation from the negligent party who caused their accident and resulting injuries. Your case’s worth will be based on economic and non-economic losses that can include the following items:

Medical Costs

Catastrophic injuries typically result in extensive medical expenses. Emergency room visits, multiple surgeries, prescription drugs, medical equipment, and physical rehabilitation are just a handful of the costs you might incur.

Lost Wages or Income

You will need an indefinite amount of time to recover from a catastrophic injury. All that time equals time off from work and money you won’t make. If you lose income due to your injuries, you are legally entitled to recoup it in a personal injury claim.

Reduced Earning Capacity

Even after all the time you spend recovering, you may never return to the way things were. Permanent disability is quite common in catastrophic injury cases. If those disabilities prevent you from earning money at the same level that you used to, you can claim compensation for your reduced earning ability.

Property Damage

If the accident which caused your injury also resulted in personal property damage, you are entitled to recover the repair or replacement costs.

Pain and Suffering

Catastrophic injuries do long-lasting or permanent damage in a variety of ways. Physical pain and suffering as well as psychological pain or emotional distress, such as fear, depression, night terrors, reduced quality of life, loss of enjoyment, or the inability to function independently are all compensable outcomes of your injuries.
