Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Focused On You

All workplace accidents can be devastating, but some on-the-job injuries are so debilitating, they are considered “catastrophic.” In many cases, catastrophic work injuries don’t only affect the victim – they also affect the victim’s family members and loved ones who must now alter their lives to care for and support their loved one.

What Makes An Injury Catastrophic?

Generally speaking, any injury that results in severe and/or permanent disability or disfigurement is considered “catastrophic.” While there is no legal definition of a catastrophic injury, most legal professionals agree that any injury that prevents the victim from working – whether that’s returning to his/her old job or obtaining any form of gainful employment – is a catastrophic injury.

Some examples of relatively common catastrophic injuries include:

Note that this list is not exhaustive; there are many other work-related injuries that can be considered catastrophic. In some cases, occupational diseases, such as mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos in the workplace, may be deemed catastrophic in nature.

Addressing The Unique Concerns Of Catastrophic Injury Survivors

Catastrophic work injuries can occur in numerous ways – a construction worker may fall from unsafe scaffolding and suffer a brain injury, an athlete may suffer a spinal cord injury during a game, or a truck driver may be severely injured in a crash. Remember: Regardless of how the accident/injury occurred, if it happened while the victim was working, the victim’s employer is nearly always responsible for paying workers’ compensation benefits.
