What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is any serious injury that causes long-term or permanent damage. These injuries are often debilitating and require significant medical care, ongoing rehabilitation, and may prevent the injured person from returning to work or living independently.

Even if the effects aren’t permanent, if the recovery is prolonged, painful, and affects major aspects of daily life, the injury is considered catastrophic.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries in North Carolina can happen in a wide range of circumstances, including:

• Car accidents
• Truck and semi-truck crashes
• Motorcycle collisions
• Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
• Slip and fall incidents
• Construction site injuries
• Medical malpractice
• Defective or dangerous products
• Workplace accidents
• Violent assaults or attacks
• Sports-related injuries

Examples of Catastrophic Injuries We Handle

Some of the most severe injury cases we take on include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – These can permanently impact memory, movement, behavior, and speech.
• Herniated Neck Discs – Especially in the cervical spine, these can lead to chronic pain, nerve damage, and mobility limitations.
• Amputations / Loss of Limb – Losing a limb often impacts both physical function and emotional well-being.
• Severe Burns – High risk of infection, disfigurement, and psychological trauma.
• Major Bone Fractures – Hip, pelvis, or compound fractures that affect mobility or require surgery and prolonged rehab.
• Disfigurement – Especially to the face, hands, or body, which may require multiple surgeries and lead to mental distress.
• Loss of Sight or Hearing – These sensory impairments can dramatically alter a person’s independence and ability to work.
• PTSD and Severe Emotional Trauma – Often overlooked but just as damaging, especially in cases involving violent or traumatic events.

Financial Costs of a Catastrophic Injury

The financial fallout from a catastrophic injury is often staggering. Victims may face:

• Extensive hospital and surgical bills
• Ongoing physical and occupational therapy
• Mental health treatment for trauma, anxiety, or depression
• Lost wages from time away from work
• Reduced future earning potential
• Home modifications for accessibility (wheelchair ramps, stair lifts, etc.)

At LawyerPower, we work to calculate every dollar you’re owed and pursue maximum compensation for your current and future needs.

What to Do After a Catastrophic Injury

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury in North Carolina:

1. Get Medical Care Immediately
   Go to the ER or hospital as soon as possible. Your health comes first—and timely medical records help support your case.
2. Review Your Insurance Coverage
   Check health, auto, or any other relevant insurance plans. You may also be entitled to compensation through another party’s insurance policy.
3. Keep All Medical Records and Receipts
   Document everything—treatment plans, test results, invoices, prescriptions, and even travel expenses related to your care.
4. Don’t Talk to Insurance Adjusters Alone
   Give only the bare minimum information if required. Do not agree to any recorded statements or early settlement offers without legal counsel.
5. Speak with an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer
   Catastrophic injuries demand serious legal representation. Our team at LawyerPower is ready to evaluate your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.
