What are Catastrophic Injuries?
Catastrophic injuries are generally life-altering in some way. They do not always lead to permanent impairments, but they often take months or years to fully recover for those who do so. All catastrophic injuries are considered serious by medical professionals. They almost always require hospitalization, and many call for intensive care unit or trauma unit care. They generally affect not only the everyday life of the victim but of every member of their household, too.
Some common examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Broken necks, backs, and other spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
- Moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Third or fourth-degree burns, especially when they cover a large part of the body
- Significant orthopedic injuries, including crush injuries and amputations
Many types of accidents and incidents can cause catastrophic injuries. Anytime someone else causes that accident, it could support a personal injury case. Some types of personal injury claims that our attorneys see frequently include:
- Car crashes
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck collisions
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian collisions
- Rideshare crashes
- Premises liability cases, such as falls, fires, pool incidents, and electrocutions
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse
We can also help clients whose injuries are significant but not catastrophic. If another party’s negligence caused your accident, you have a right to seek compensation for your damages. You can learn more during your free case assessment with our team.

Building a Case to Prove Your Columbus, IN, Catastrophic Injury Claim
At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, our team manages all aspects of every client’s claim or legal action on their behalf. We will keep you up to date and answer any questions you may have, but you never have to try to figure out what to do next or how to approach your case.
We even give you the information and guidance you need to know when to accept a fair offer during settlement negotiations and will discuss each one with you. However, before we can get to settlement talks, we need to investigate what happened and develop a strong case.
Our team will take these steps, aiming to prove:
- Negligence
- Liability
- Damages incurred
- Appropriate settlement range based on those damages
The evidence available will differ depending on what happened, but we have the knowledge and resources to call on experts when necessary to help us build a stronger case. This often includes medical experts, specialists, and economists who can help us understand your prognosis, ongoing care needs, and future care costs.
While many of these cases never go to trial, we need to prepare for it. For this reason, it is imperative that we remember the deadline to sue in Indiana. Under IC § 34-11-2-4, we usually only have two years to build our case and begin a personal injury lawsuit.
