Beverly Hills Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

A person who has suffered a catastrophic injury due to another person’s negligent actions will need a lot more compensation and medical attention than those who experience less severe injuries. However, what is a catastrophic injury? How is it different compared to other types of injuries? According to most legal definitions and medical records, an injury is catastrophic if it causes immediate disability or will not heal fully. A person who suffers a catastrophic injury will need emergency medical attention as soon as possible, especially if an injury is noticeable.
Some injuries may be underlying, which can, unfortunately, delay the time for diagnosis and treatment. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Many forms of birth injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Permanent scarring and disfiguration
- Chronic illnesses
Seeking Compensation After a Catastrophic Injury
Someone living with a catastrophic injury will have thousands of dollars’ worth of medical bills for initial treatments and various hospitalization costs. There will probably be many more bills and expenses. In some cases, depending on the injury, some people will need rehabilitation, which can last for months, years, or the rest of their lives.
For example, brain injury patients will need a lot of rehabilitation, with some needing to relearn emotions, behavior, or lost knowledge. People with catastrophic injuries may also end up having a hard time find and keeping employment. Any compensation must account for lost wages and the finances needed to help them live their life.
