Catastrophic Injury — Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an injury 'catastrophic'?

Catastrophic injuries are typically severe, permanent, or life-altering — such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or severe burns — and often require extensive, long-term medical care.

Why do catastrophic injury claims often take longer to resolve?

Because these claims frequently involve extensive future medical needs, they often require input from medical experts and economists to fully account for long-term costs before a claim is resolved.
