What Is a “Catastrophic” Injury?

According to New York law, a catastrophic injury is one that leads to a long-term or permanent injury to the accident victim. This includes disabilities and disfigurements. There is no set of guidelines that make an injury “catastrophic.” Instead, the courts examine a plaintiff’s medical records and how the injury has impacted the individual to determine the seriousness of the damages. If a plaintiff cannot return to work, requires multiple surgeries, has to undergo a difficult recovery process, has lifelong medical costs, or has lost quality of life, the injury is most likely catastrophic.

What Is Your Case Worth?

When determining how much a case is worth, the courts consider both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are simple to calculate, as they look at actual financial losses the accident-related injuries have caused. These include hospital bills, treatments, and lost wages from missed days at work. Non-economic damages are those such as pain and suffering and lost enjoyment of life from injuries such as loss of limb or paralysis. To calculate non-economic losses, New York courts will consider a number of factors, such as expert testimony. Naturally, an injury that is serious or catastrophic is almost always worth more than minor injuries in a court of law.

Major injuries involve greater medical expenses, longer recovery times, and often inflict more physical pain and emotional suffering. These are all compensable damages that the courts will take into account when calculating a settlement or judgment award.
