When is an injury considered catastrophic?
A catastrophic injury is a life-altering injury to the spine, spinal cord or brain. These types of injuries have a severe short- and long-term impact on a person’s functional capabilities.
A catastrophic injury causes an individual to lose a vital part of themselves, whether it’s a limb, the ability to walk, or form a thought.
For the most part, there are three types of catastrophic injuries: physical injuries, spinal cord injuries and cognitive injuries. Physical injuries include amputation, serious burns, severe fractures and organ damage. Spinal cord injuries create permanent mobility issues. Cognitive injuries arise from brain damage which dramatically limits a person’s ability to carry out ordinary tasks, such as working, speaking, or forming new memories.
