California Work-Related Catastrophic Injury Attorney: What is a Work-Related Catastrophic Injury?
Legally speaking, a catastrophic injury is a detriment that is worthy of a higher level of compensation. The amount awarded is bigger than a standard personal injury case a victim may possibly get.Â
Technically, a catastrophic injury is still a personal injury. However, it fulfills a level for greater damages. This is crucial in states with no-fault car insurance systems.
From a medical perspective, a worker or employee who sustained a catastrophic injury will deal with:
- Necessary lifetime care or special adjustment
- Permanent impairment or disability
- Extremely disfigured, crippled, or stigmatized
- Completely unfit to make moneyÂ
In most cases, this type of injury can result in permanent disability, which could also affect the lives of family members. Why? It’s because you’ll depend on your family member’s help, care and support, especially your spouse’s. If you’re the only breadwinner at home, the whole family will suffer emotionally and financially.
If you suffer a work-related catastrophic injury, you might depend on others for the rest of your life. Additionally, you may lose your capacity to work and lose your quality of life. If all of these happened because of other people’s negligence, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim. Our expert work-related catastrophic injury attorney can help you file a workers’ compensation and help you further should any issues arise.
Some work-related catastrophic injuries a victim may not recover from include:
- Spinal cord damage that restricts mobility
- Critical injuries that impede you from doing your tasks
- Amputation of a specific body part
- Facial scars
- Brain trauma leaving the victim comatose
- Injuries that led to sexual dysfunction
