What Kinds Of Injuries Are Catastrophic?
While catastrophic injuries are legally defined for purposes of Georgia workers’ compensation claims, they are not considered a separate type of claim in a personal injury context. Nonetheless, there is some overlap in the types of injuries considered catastrophic. These include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and skull injuries
- Severe injuries to the neck, back and spinal cord
- Paralysis (quadriplegia or paraplegia)
- Amputation of a limb (arm, leg, foot, hand)
- Loss of one or more senses like blindness or deafness
- Burn injuries covering a substantial portion of the victim’s body or a significant portion of their face and hands
Catastrophic injuries are likely to be life-changing and life-limiting for victims and their families. They may take years or decades to heal and full healing may be impossible. They may prevent the victim from working, may limit their mobility and will negatively impact their quality of life.
Compensation For Serious Injuries Is Critical, And We Are Ready To Fight For It
The costs of treating a catastrophic injury are so high that medical bills alone can send victims into bankruptcy. To protect their own bottom lines, insurance companies for the at-fault parties are likely to contest, deny or underpay claims. Catastrophic injury cases often go to trial when smaller cases would settle.
For these reasons, it is critical to work with an experienced and aggressive trial attorney who knows how to build a compelling case against the at-fault party and fight for maximum compensation. That’s what you’ll find at Cowan Law Firm, LLC. Our two lawyers have more than four decades of combined legal experience in personal injury law, and they come highly recommended by former clients for their tireless advocacy and personalized service.
