What you need to know about catastrophic injury
Catastrophic injuries are injuries that require significant medical treatment. They usually have a long-term or permanent effect on the life of the person who has been injured.

Some people hurt in catastrophic accidents recover. Others live with permanent disability, extreme suffering, a significantly shortened lifespan, or permanently altered lifestyles and work abilities.

Injuries classified as catastrophic result in severe impairments to one or more bodily systems, such as the neurological or muscular system. Accidents in which people suffer severe burns, head injuries, loss or paralysis of limbs, or loss of eyesight or hearing are catastrophic in nature.
