What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is one that permanently disrupts a person’s ability to live independently or return to their prior way of life.
These injuries typically involve long-term or lifelong medical care, permanent disability, and loss of earning capacity.
Examples of Catastrophic Injuries
- Spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis
- Amputation or loss of limb function
- Severe burns with permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Traumatic brain injury causing long-term cognitive impairment
- Loss of vision or hearing
How Catastrophic Injury Cases Are Different
Catastrophic injury claims are fundamentally different from other injury cases because the consequences are permanent.
Unlike temporary injuries, these cases often involve lifelong medical care, future medical expenses, permanent disability, and diminished quality of life.
Accurately valuing these claims requires careful legal and financial analysis to account for long-term costs, loss of earning capacity, and ongoing support needs.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”

“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
