San Diego Injury Attorney

Have you recently suffered a catastrophic injury?

Catastrophic injuries are those personal injuries which are extremely severe and usually long-term or permanent in nature. Catastrophic injuries include injuries such as brain injuries, neck injuries, spinal injuries, birth injuries, back injuries, burns, accidental amputation, neurological disorders, eye injuries and more. Many catastrophic injuries directly affect the central nervous system and therefore negatively impact other bodily functions, movement and mental ability. When injuries are this severe, it can be difficult for the victim to return to his or her normal life. A person who has suffered a serious injury may be unable to return to work in the same field or may be unable to work at all. These injuries can have long-term effects on one's ability to take part in the activities he or she once enjoyed and may also impact psychological well-being and family life.

About Serious Injuries

An injury may be deemed "catastrophic" if it requires extensive and expensive medical treatment. Life-threatening injuries are also generally considered catastrophic in nature. These injuries generally fall under key categories, which we have outlined below:

Amputation
Traumatic or surgical amputation will forever change a victim's life, meaning he or she will need to adjust to living without a body part or extremity. It may be a finger or an entire leg, requiring extensive medical treatment and possibly the use of assistive devices or a prosthetic. Read more about amputation.

Brain Injuries
A brain injury may be classified as any type of injury that affects the brain. The brain itself may be injured due to direct trauma or may sustain damage as the result of a lack of oxygen or blood flow. Because the brain acts as the control center for thought and bodily functions, any injury has the potential to be particularly serious. Read more about brain injuries.

Birth Injuries
A birth injury is physical trauma sustained by a baby immediately before, during or after childbirth. In some cases, birth injuries such as paralysis or cerebral palsy may be linked to malpractice or negligence on the part of a medical professional. In these matters, the family may be able to hold the doctor or nurse accountable. Read more about birth injuries.

Burn Injuries
Burns are not only extremely painful but may result in lasting scars or disfigurement that may have a profound psychological impact on the victim. They may require immediate medical treatment as well as ongoing surgical procedures to restore form and function to the affected part of the body. Severe burns are therefore often considered catastrophic injuries. Read more about burn injuries.

Spinal Injuries
The spine and spinal cord serve important roles in the body, enabling the transmission of messages and information to and from the brain and the rest of the body. A spinal injury may result in the interruption or termination of these messages, causing partial or total paralysis. Read more about spinal injuries.

Other Serious Injuries
There are numerous other types of injuries that are catastrophic in nature and may threaten the life of the victim, or at the very least result in considerable medical bills and a changed life. Some of these include internal organ damage, broken bones, neck injuries and facial injuries. Read more about other catastrophic injuries.

Depending on the type and extent of injury you or someone you know has sustained, you may be able to bring the responsible party to justice. It starts with scheduling a confidential consultation with a skilled lawyer who can inform you of your rights and options.
