Phoenix Catastrophic Injuries and Permanent Disabilities
by Phoenix Catastrophic Injury Attorney - Mark Breyer
A catastrophic injury can happen in the most unexpected events. Catastrophic injuries occur every day to people in car accidents, bike accidents, construction accidents, slip-and-falls, motorcycle accidents, and other motor vehicle accidents. A catastrophic injury is an injury that is very serious and will affect a person for the rest of his or her life. Many times, a catastrophic injury is shocking to the injured person and his or her family, and they do not immediately realize the long term effects of what has happened to them or understand the legal implications.
Events that lead to catastrophic injuries often involve issues of negligence. Examples of accidents that lead to catastrophic injures are motor vehicle accidents caused by a driver text messaging while driving, or a construction site fall caused by a construction company that failed to secure its scaffolding.

The Toll of a Catastrophic Injury
Personal injury refers to damage to a person’s body and mind as opposed to property damage. Catastrophic injury has more serious legal implications than a minor injury or damage to a vehicle and often results in expensive medical bills, long term disabilities, and mental anguish. The person responsible for the accident will be held liable for compensation based on the severity of the injury.
By definition, a catastrophic injury includes:
- Long term medical implications;
- Permanent, painful injuries;
- Injury affecting one or more internal parts of the body; and
- A quick and unexpected injury.
The suddenness of the injury is also a consideration. Most catastrophic injuries occur quickly and unexpectedly, meaning the victim could not have been able to prepare physically or financially for it. Common causes for catastrophic injuries are car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and on the job accidents. Broken bones, injuries to the neck, back, head, or brain, paralysis, quadriplegia, paraplegia, organ damage, burns, serious damage to and amputation of limbs, and spinal cord injuries are common forms of catastrophic injuries.
These injuries affect the families of the victim as well the injured due long term care and the inability to work. The loss of income only adds to the financial burden of medical bills and ongoing treatment. It is important to find the right attorney for your catastrophic injury case.
