What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
Catastrophic injuries include severe trauma to the brain, spinal cord, skull, or neck, often resulting in permanent disability or even death. They may result from traumatic events such as high‑speed collisions, multi‑vehicle pile‑ups, or falls from defective premises.
In Georgia and Tennessee, victims of catastrophic personal injuries—such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), amputations, or severe burns—may face lifelong medical care, rehabilitation, loss of income, and enormous life‑care costs.
