Also, many catastrophic injuries are life-threatening injuries.

Patients must undergo significant lifestyle changes to live with the aftermath of such a serious accident.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), a catastrophic injury is an injury to a person’s brain, spinal cord, or spine. In some cases, catastrophic injuries can also refer to injuries to a person’s internal organs, bone fractures, amputations, and severe burn injuries.

Personal injury attorneys tend to use the term catastrophic injuries broadly. They include any injuries that result in temporary or permanent disabilities.

Examples of catastrophic injuries for which you may be able to file a claim include but are not limited to:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and other forms of head trauma;
  • Spinal cord injuries;
  • Broken bones or fractures;
  • Organ damage;
  • Paralysis;
  • Amputations; and
  • Severe burn injuries.

The Statute of Limitations for a Catastrophic Injury Claim

When you get hurt in a serious accident and suffer a catastrophic injury, you have a limited amount of time to file your claim. The statute of limitations typically begins running when the person suffers an injury. When someone suffers catastrophic injuries, New Mexico law usually provides three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit while Texas is shorter at only two years.   There are some limited exceptions where the Satute of Limitations may actually be shorter or even longer. It’s critical that you contact an experienced law firm as soon as possible to make sure that you don’t miss your opportunity to file a claim.
