Types of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries typically have long-lasting physical, emotional and financial consequences for victims. Some of the most common types of injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Burn injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Crushed or broken bones
- Paralysis (paraplegia/quadriplegia)
- Severed limbs/amputation
- Vision or hearing loss
Causes of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are often the result of a variety of accidents. For example, motorcyclists are not protected like occupants of other motor vehicles, and often suffer severely broken bones, neck, head and brain injuries. High-speed automobile collisions and truck accidents can also result in a variety of catastrophic injuries.
Construction accidents such as falls, fires, explosions, electrocutions, and trench and building collapses are also common. While construction workers are covered under Workers’ Compensation Insurance, if a third party was at fault, it is possible to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit.
Train and subway accidents in New York also lead to serious injuries, particularly when victims fall or are pushed off of subway platforms on the tracks in the path of an oncoming subway train. Lastly, victims of violent crimes such as assault and rape can suffer significant wounds and injuries.
The Consequences of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries typically require extensive medical treatment. In addition, many victims are out of work for long periods of time and cannot earn a living. Depending on the severity of the injury, a victim may suffer from a temporary or permanent disability and not be able to perform the same work or to work at all. Many victims also suffer from long-term psychological impairments such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
In addition, catastrophic injuries also lead to significant financial burdens, starting with the extensive costs of medical care for ongoing treatment, therapy, and prescription medications. In addition, there are also financial concerns involved for both the victim and the family who have lost a source of income.
