What are Catastrophic Injuries?

Catastrophic injuries are those that occur instantly without warning and leave the victim with serious, long-term effects for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, those involved in truck accidents are very likely to suffer a catastrophic injury.  Serious injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or major organs are considered catastrophic. A result of such severe injuries, the victim may be permanently disable and require ongoing care. Catastrophic truck injuries are not only devastating to the victim, but also to family members who must adjust to a drastic change in lifestyle while grieving an injured loved one.

How do Catastrophic Injuries Occur?

Catastrophic injuries are unpredictable, but auto accidents such as; car, bus, motorcycle and truck accidents are the most common cause. Other causes include:

• Industrial or construction accidents. Between heavy machinery and falling objects, industrial accidents may result in partial or total loss of ability to function. Construction zones can also pose serious risks for drivers and result in an accident.

• Workplace accidents. Depending on the industry, workplace accidents can lead to catastrophic injury and disability. 

• Sports injuries. Playing sports exposes the body to potential injury. Though many athletes train to avoid permanent injury, damage to the brain or spinal cord may occur while playing. 

• Motorcycle accidents. Without bodily protection, a motorcycle accident can leave the driver permanently injured and incapable of living a normal life.

How Are Catastrophic Injuries Treated?

Based on the location of the injury, medical care will vary. While immediate attention may prevent loss of life or wrongful death, individuals sustaining a catastrophic truck injury in California will usually receive a poor prognosis. Though some healing is possible, full recovery may be unlikely. In addition to initial medical care, long-term care, surgery or rehabilitation may be necessary.
