What is a catastrophic injury? How will these kinds of injuries affect my life?


A catastrophic injury is an injury that causes long-term physical or cognitive disability. These kinds of injuries affect your ability to live independently and/or maintain your current job. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries (SCI)
  • Loss of limbs
  • Severe burn injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Vision impairment
  • Hearing impairment
  • Debilitating fractures or joint injuries
