Understanding Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are those that significantly alter a person’s life. They usually involve the loss of motor functions, a limb or a major disruption in the central nervous system. When people suffer injuries of this type, it often means that their bodies will never be the same again. It could affect their ability to hold jobs in the future, or care for their families.

These types of injuries can be caused in a number of ways. A few of those include:

• Car accidents
• Bus accidents
• Slip & Fall accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle accidents
