There is no exact definition that lays out the precise parameters of what makes an accident or injury “catastrophic,” but it’s generally accepted that any injury that seriously alters the victim’s life is considered a catastrophic injury, such as:
These cases require the attention and representation of a seasoned Denver accident lawyer who can advocate on behalf of the injured plaintiff in the pursuit of financial recovery to defray the heavy toll of the accident and resultant injuries.
A catastrophic injury can include:
The gravity of these injuries is so profound that they impact not only the victim, but people in the victim’s lives – family, spouse, children, friends, and other loved ones. A catastrophic injury can cause serious disruption to the nervous system, which may debilitate other parts of the body from operating the way they are intended to.
In general, the same principles of a standard personal injury case apply, and a catastrophic injury attorney will seek to help you recover compensation for the damages that you have sustained as a result of the accident, including:
A catastrophic injury can be the result of a motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, premises liability, a dog bite or attack, or any other kind of injury claim, but whatever the circumstances, you should call a lawyer before you speak to an insurance adjuster.
If you have sustained a catastrophic injury, or if someone you love has been gravely injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s recklessness or negligence, reach out to a Denver accident lawyer who has handled hundreds of catastrophic injury cases in the past.
