Catastrophic Injuries in Florida
While any injury resulting from an accident can be painful and severely disrupt your life, there are certain injuries that can be even more difficult to recover from. Those injuries which are known as “catastrophic” often have the greatest physical, emotional, and financial consequences to victims, leaving them with some permanent functional disability.
What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries are classified as life-threatening injuries that often result in disfigurement or permanent disability. Those who sustain these types of injuries have a very small chance of ever fully recovering. Victims commonly suffer expensive medical costs, loss of the ability to work, and loss of the enjoyment of life.
