Complex Personal Injuries
In a sense, all injuries are catastrophic for the victims. Broken bones, falls and car accidents that lead to injury can all mean a trip to the emergency room, pain and suffering, and the hassle of having to file a claim. The law, however, recognizes that some types of injuries can be especially devastating. Injuries that can leave someone unable to care for themselves or severely impaired are generally considered complex or catastrophic injuries.
These injuries can include:
- Brain injuries leading to serious impairment
- Amputation
- Mental impairment from a birth injury or head injury
- Severe spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Loss of vision, hearing or the ability to speak
- Exposure to asbestos causing Mesothelioma
Why Do Complex Injuries Happen?
Catastrophic injuries can happen due to:
- Negligent security
- Roadway accidents (including truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and railway accidents)
- Falls
- Workplace accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Birth
