Understanding Catastrophic Accidents
A catastrophic accident typically results in injuries that cause lasting or permanent harm, such as brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, or loss of limbs. These injuries often require multiple surgeries, years of rehabilitation, and extensive medical support. Victims may lose their ability to work, live independently, or enjoy daily life as they once did.
