Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Honolulu, HI
A catastrophic injury is any injury that permanently prevents someone from performing work that allows them to earn a living. Catastrophic injuries frequently leave survivors with some kind of permanent physical or cognitive disability.
Catastrophic injuries are very different from other injuries. Although any injury can be serious, catastrophic injuries are life-changing or life-ending injuries. These injuries are extreme injuries such as severe brain damage, organ failure, and loss of limbs. Injuries so severe that if the person survives, they will most likely require assistance and care for the rest of their lives.
Catastrophic injuries can include:
- Brain injuries
- Organ failure
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Neurological damage
- Nerve damage
- Paralysis
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Amputation
- Birth Injuries
Because these injuries are so severe, survivors of these types of injuries are left to contend with astronomical medical expenses, enormous economic losses, as well as a diminished quality of life. While it’s true that no amount of money can make up for your injuries or undo what happened, catastrophic injuries while require long-term care that will be very expensive. For this reason, catastrophic injury claims usually result in much larger damages for the victim than other injury claims.
Damages in your case can pay for expenses such as:
- Full-time caretaker
- Assisted living care
- Rehabilitative care
- Special assistive devices
- Long-term medical care
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
