Catastrophic Injury Attorney Orlando
A catastrophic injury or illness typically
occurs suddenly and without warning, requiring significant
medical treatment. Accidents in which people suffer severe
burns, head injuries, loss or paralysis of limbs, or loss
of eyesight or hearing are catastrophic in nature.
A catastrophic injury or illness may result
in severe disruption to the central nervous system, which
in turn affects many other systems of the body. In addition
to possible loss of movement, sensation, and communicative
and cognitive abilities, the injury or illness may impact
respiration, circulation, skin, the urinary system, the gastrointestinal
system, and other body systems.
Catastrophic injury victims and their families
often experience significant life changes as they progress
through acute hospitalization, rehabilitation, and return
to home and community. Some people recover from their catastrophic
injuries. Others live with permanent disability, extreme pain
and suffering, a significantly shortened lifespan, or permanently
altered lifestyles and work abilities.
A catastrophic injury or illness can affect
how you live. You and your family may have to make adjustments
in every aspect of your lives to function day to day. There
may be tasks that have to relearned, and months if not years
of physical, vocational and occupational therapy may be necessary.
If a catastrophic injury or illness was
caused by the negligent or intentional act of another or by
a dangerous or defective product, a personal injury claim
by the victim will be an important consideration when deciding
your future quality of life, including the quality of the
medical care and other support you may need.
