Amputation or loss of use of a limb: Losing an arm or a leg is much more than simply a practical problem. It is like a psychological assault.

Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury is a life-changing event for an accident victim, as well as for the victim's family. A catastrophic injury also means a radical lifestyle change, including practical challenges and ongoing medical complications. A person recovering from a catastrophic injury may or may not be able to return to work - and if so, he or she is likely to need vocational rehabilitation.

Fight For What Is Right If Your Life Has Been Changed Drastically Due To Injury

1. An accident victim who is living with quadriplegia may be unable to eat on his or her own. The injured person will need personal caregivers to assist with meals, bathing and toileting. Transportation will likely require a motorized wheelchair and a modified van.
2. A recovering brain injury victim may be left with slurred speech, cognitive disorders, personality changes, various types of bodily dysfunction and/or mood swings.
3. A recovering burn injury victim may require repeated skin grafts and suffer social isolation brought on by disfigurement.
4. An amputee often deals with phantom pains and a need for periodic replacement of prostheses.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

On top of these practical concerns, a person with a catastrophic injury generally suffers very significant losses in terms of the ability to enjoy life. An accident victim may have been an active parent of small children, an avid sportsman or woman, a musician, a frequent traveler, a mountain climber, a swimmer or a horseback rider. Loss of freedom to engage in favorite activities can be a tremendous psychological blow.

A traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, an amputation or a serious burn injury may bring about overwhelming challenges such as:

• A medical crisis, often requiring surgery, invasive procedures and lengthy hospital stays
• Ongoing needs for follow-up medical care, therapy, rehabilitation and personal care
• Financial burdens including medical bills, lost wages and a never-ending need for medical equipment, supplies and personal care assistance

Critical Legal Matters

Determining liability can help build a strong case for maximum available compensation. A successful personal injury claim or lawsuit after a car accident, a boating accident or a workplace injury can provide finances necessary to cope with extraordinary expenses.
