Consequences of a Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injuries, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe internal injuries can cause a variety of symptoms, such as:
Physical impairment
- Paralysis (paraplegia or quadriplegia/tetraplegia)
- Amputation
- Weakness
- Difficulty walking
- Problems with balance and/or coordination
Mental impairment
- Difficulty thinking clearly
- Difficulty remembering new information

Sensory impairment

In addition, victims of catastrophic injuries almost always suffer emotionally from feeling trapped in a body that no longer works the way it used to and from being dependent on others to care for them. These emotional symptoms can include anger, rage, depression, irritability, frustration, extreme sadness, and withdrawal from others.
Don’t Underestimate Your Pain and Suffering
When it comes to securing compensation for a catastrophic injury, a lot of attention is paid to ensuring sufficient funds are provided to cover the victim’s medical expenses. However, the dollar amount on a medical bill does not represent the full impact of an injury on a victim’s life. You almost certainly deserve more compensation, especially in the case of a serious injury that may have caused significant pain and suffering.

- Records from mental health professionals you may have visited for treatment
- A personal injury diary describing the impact of your injuries and symptoms on your daily life
