Frequently asked questions

Questions about Catastrophic Injuries

What makes an injury catastrophic?

The term generally describes an injury with profound or permanent effects on health, mobility, cognition, work, or independent living. The specific medical and functional evidence matters more than the label.

How are future losses evaluated?

Medical opinions, care plans, employment evidence, life expectancy, and accepted financial methods may be used to estimate reasonably supported future needs and lost earning capacity.
