Imagine being perfectly fit and healthy one day, and then finding yourself in the middle of a horrific accident (a car or plane crash, a gas-line explosion, the collapse of a house) and emerging with serious, life-altering injuries. After a catastrophic accident, you literally have to piece your life back together, all while figuring out how to pay your mounting medical bills and support yourself and your family while you're unable to work. The Voss Law Firm can help!
What Constitutes a Catastrophic Injury?
Depending on your tolerance for pain, any injury may strike you as “catastrophic”—but this phrase usually applies to:
- Broken, crushed, or amputated arms or legs (or feet or hands)
- A serious head injury, such as a skull fracture
- Paraplegia (permanent paralysis from the waist down), or quadriplegia (permanent paralysis from the neck down)
- Serious internal bleeding, which may result in the actual loss of an organ (spleen, kidney, lung, etc.)
- Multiple broken or fractured bones, which may entail an extended recovery in a full-body cast
- A partial or permanent loss of sight or hearing in the wake of an accident
- Pretty much any injury that does not kill you, but necessitates weeks, months, or even years of medical treatment
