Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

Unexpected accidents that result in a catastrophic injury can happen during everyday acts like driving and crossing the street. Workplace accidents are the other likely scenario for catastrophic injuries, and workers in high-risk environments face increased risk. Oilfield accidents and maritime accidents qualify as high-risk environments and personal injuries suffered in these workplaces can be catastrophic. Other causes of catastrophic injury include:

Brain and Spinal Cord Damage

Brain and spinal cord injuries are two of the most severe types of catastrophic injury. When someone is faced with life-altering brain injuries, functions like eyesight, the ability to speak, the ability to feed oneself and trust ones memory can be lost. With more severe cases, victims often suffer decreased brain function and loose control of their body completely. If a victim of a brain injury is rendered unable to walk, you may have to make expensive modifications to your home, purchase a specialized vehicle to transport your family member, and hire long-term help for daily care in the home.
