Catastrophic Accident Attorney Kansas City

Injuries that are considered catastrophic, due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the individuals who experience them, are when the physical injuries to a person are especially severe and require extensive medical treatment. The injuries may involve serious injuries to major organs, limbs or systems such as damage to a person’s central nervous system, and this may affect other bodily systems or functions.

Catastrophic injuries include:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • Burns over a large portion of the body
  • Loss of an eye
  • Injuries to the nerves in the chest, shoulder, and arm (brachial plexus)
  • Multiple fractures
  • Neurologic disorders

In addition, many people who suffer catastrophic injuries also suffer depression or other emotional problems because of the limitations created by their injuries.
