When Catastrophic Injuries At Work Change Lives Forever
Severe, catastrophic workplace injuries, like traumatic amputations, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and others, can shatter lives in an instant. Victims and their families face mounting medical bills, inability to work, lasting disabilities and a dramatically reduced quality of life.

The Devastation Of Catastrophic Workplace Injuries
The debilitating effects of such catastrophic injuries are life-altering for victims and their families. Some of the most serious injuries that can occur on the job include:
- Amputations: Loss of limbs causing permanent disabilities or the need for prosthetics.
- Brain/Head injuries: Severe injuries causing cognitive impairment, motor skill problems and personality changes.
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage that can lead to full or partial paralysis and lifelong complications.
Along with serious injuries, many workers often suffer from Occupational Illnesses. Prolonged exposure on-the-job to toxic chemicals, for instance, can cause cancer, organ failure and even death.
Overcoming Seemingly Insurmountable Challenges
Catastrophically injured workers face tremendous obstacles such as:
- Inability to return to their work
- Costly medical bills, care needs and home modifications
- Physical limitations, disabilities and chronic pain
- Difficulty with standard activities of daily living (ADLs)
- Reduced quality of life and difficulty finding a “new normal”
With these challenges ahead, those whose lives have been impaired by their work-related injuries should try to get the most out of their Workers’ Comp claims.
Maximizing Benefits Is Paramount
For these workers, securing wage loss benefits, comprehensive medical treatment, and rehabilitation is absolutely vital to regaining independence and quality of life. However, disputes over treatments, housing needs and compensation are common.
