What Classifies as a Catastrophic Injury?

Unlike many personal injury claims which involve injuries which are resolved in a relatively short period of time, catastrophic injuries are more long-lasting and have more disabling effects on the patient’s life, requiring expert handling.

Serious and catastrophic injuries have potentially life-changing effects and will have a significant impact on day-to-day life. These injuries can include:

• Severe orthopaedic injury
• Partial or total paralysis
• Severe burns or disfigurement
• Loss of vision

As well as the physical effects of catastrophic injury, it can also cause psychiatric injuries, such as PTSD, anxiety and depression – to name a few. Although these mental health problems may not present themselves immediately after the devastating accident, they cause a much bigger impact on life than the injury alone.

Catastrophic and Serious Injury Compensation

If you’re looking to claim serious injury compensation, you will need to be able to prove that it occurred due to another’s negligence. The value of your claim will depend on the severity of your injury, its impact on your life, your working capabilities and needs for care.

When claiming serious injury compensation, medical experts will be instructed to evaluate your symptoms and provide their opinion on the effect they have had on your life, as well as the effect your injury is likely to have in the future in order to calculate how much compensation you’re owed.

  • Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia. I am eternally grateful for all the hard work and care taken in supporting me during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Thank you.

  • I would absolutely recommend Brian Barr Solicitors. They looked after me after the previous solicitor’s would not listen as my health was taking a rapid turn downward because of fibromyalgia issues. Brian Barr’s diligence meant I had a suitable conclusion for the nature of my car accident.

Thank you Steven so very, much.

  • Alex Cohen and his team were nothing but amazing. They fully explained everything I needed to know throughout my entire case (which was just over 5 years!) with a great deal of compassion and care. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brian Barr solicitors if a member of my family or friend ever needed it.
