Let's Define the term Catastrophic Injury.

Catastrophic Injury covers a broad spectrum of potentially fatal illnesses. Most people think of "catastrophic" injuries as those to the brain or spine. Still, the term also applies to traumatic amputations, severe burns, and other conditions that result in a significant and perhaps irreversible loss of physiological function.

To give you an idea of the kinds of catastrophic injury cases Los Angeles Catastrophic Personal Injury Lawyers typically deal with:

• Injury to the brain, both closed and open (TBIs)

• Traumatic brain damage

• Traumatic burns

• Disc herniations in the spinal cord

• Paralysis (tetraplegia, paraplegia, and triplegia) (tetraplegia, paraplegia, and triplegia)

• Amputations

While medical science frequently saves the lives of those who have suffered severe injuries, it is not always successful in returning them to normal health, cognition, and mobility. When someone suffers a severe injury, their new normal includes juggling the costs of constant medical attention, therapy, family support, and other necessities into their budget.
