Denver Personal InjuryLawyer

There is generally no notice or warning given for a catastrophic injury or illness. But the effects on the victim and those lives they touch can be enormous. The injury may affect the spinal cord or the brain; it may be severe burns, an accidental amputation, or many other serious injuries.

Usually a catastrophic injury affects or causes a disruption to the central nervous system which then affects other body systems. The result can include paralysis or loss of movement, the inability to communicate and think clearly, in can affect breathing, the skin, blood circulation and many other systems of the body. Caring for the complexity of this type of injury requires a team of health care professionals such as doctors, therapists, counselors. It is evident the long-term requirements of this type of injury will be costly. Some people will recover from catastrophic injuries if medical care is rendered quickly and appropriately, however, there are some injuries that will leave the victim facing a permanent disability, constant pain and suffering and a shortened life span.
