What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is generally considered an injury that results in long-term or permanent impairment. Unlike injuries that heal over time, catastrophic injuries often require ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, and lifelong care.

These injuries frequently affect a person’s ability to work, care for themselves, participate in daily activities, and maintain the quality of life they enjoyed before the accident.
