What Counts as a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is any injury that results in long-term or permanent impairment, often preventing the victim from returning to work or living independently. These injuries typically involve intense pain, multiple surgeries, and a lifetime of treatment. Examples include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe burn injuries
- Amputations or limb loss
- Permanent vision or hearing loss
- Complex fractures requiring reconstruction
- Internal injuries or organ damage
In Nashville, these injuries often stem from car crashes on I-40 or I-65, construction site accidents, boating collisions on the Cumberland River, or serious falls in unsafe premises. Regardless of how it happened, we treat every case with urgency and care.
