Types of Catastrophic Injuries

- Brain injuries – A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause permanent damage, affecting your cognitive abilities, often in unpredictable ways.
- Organ damage – Internalorgans can be damaged by the accident itself or by complications after the accident. The damage puts your health at risk and can affect your daily functions.
- Burns – Burns can be especially devastating, with tremendous pain and infection risk. These injuries might require a number of surgeries, lengthening your recovery. Some victims face lifelong disfigurement and disability.
- Spinal cord injuries, paraplegia and quadriplegia – Injuries along the spinal cord can cause loss of function and extreme pain. Paralysis is also possible, including paraplegia, (partial or total paralysis of the lower body or legs)and quadriplegia (total or partial paralysis of all four limbs, also called tetraplegia).
- Loss of vision, hearing or speech – If you become deaf, blind or lose the ability to speak, you may need extensive therapy to adjust to your new reality and may have to adjust how you make your living.
- Permanent disfigurement – Severe disfigurement can impact your ability to return to work or live a normal life. You may also need several painful and costly surgeries because of the disfigurement.
- Loss of limbs – Losing an arm or leg will mean lengthy therapy and long-term care as you adjust to new functions or a prosthesis.
These and other types of catastrophic injuries often mean a long road to recovery, with painful rehabilitation and long-term care needs at a time when you might not be able to work.
