Types of Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury is defined as any injury that results in a lifelong disability. Common types of catastrophic injury are as follows:

Catastrophic injuries are often due to auto accidents, but can result from any accident due to others' negligence, including a construction accidents or incidents of medical malpractice.

An attorney must convey those needs through evidence gathered from medical records and the testimony of medical and life care planning experts.
