Frequently Asked Questions about Catastrophic Injuries

Q: What is a "catastrophic" injury?
A:Injuries are often called "catastrophic" when the physical injuries to a person are especially severe, and require extensive medical treatment. Often, the injuries may cause damage to a person's central nervous system, which may affect other bodily systems or functions. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Brain injuries
• Amputations
• Burns over a large portion of the body
• Loss of an eye
• Injuries to the nerves in the chest, shoulder, and arm (brachial plexus) Multiple fractures In addition, many people who suffer catastrophic injuries also suffer depression or other emotional problems because of the limitations put on them by their injuries.

Q: Are catastrophic injuries permanent?
A: Not all catastrophic injuries are permanent. Those injuries that are not permanent will usually take a very long time-months, or even years-to reach a full recovery. In some cases, especially those involving children, the actual extent of the injury may not be known until much time has passed after the accident.
