Catastrophic Injuries in Indiana

Personal Injury Attorneys Help You Seek Compensation

In the realm of personal injury law, there is a special category for those accidents that leave the victim with especially serious injuries. If an injury resulting from an accident is life altering and permanent, it is considered a catastrophic injury.

Because of how serious the injury and impact is to the victim, catastrophic injury claims are handled differently than other injury claims and should be filed with an experienced personal injury attorney in order to ensure the best chances of maximum compensation.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries leave the patient and their loved ones to deal with the effects of the accident for the remainder of their life. They can be the result of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and even workplace accidents. While the victim may recover to an extent, it usually comes with extensive medical bills and a long-term healing.

Catastrophic injuries include:

Spinal cord injuries
Brain injuries
Partial or full paralysis (temporary or permanent)
Loss of limb
Severe burns
Serious fractures
Death

Experienced Legal Representation for Catastrophic Injury Claims

The reason catastrophic injury claims stand apart from other injury claims is the size of the damages claimed. Compensation for catastrophic injuries is usual significantly more than other claims because of the severity of the damage to the patient.

Depending on the injury, these damages may include:

Extensive medical bills
Long-term physical therapy
Medication costs
Follow-up visits
Lost income due to time away from work
Loss of ability to work
Impact on quality of life
Loss of independence
