What is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that causes long-term or permanent disability, disfigurement, or functional impairment.

Catastrophic injuries can result from car accidents, truck crashes, medical malpractice, construction accidents, dangerous products, or falls on unsafe property.
