How Do Catastrophic Injuries Occur?

No one ever plans on or prepares for getting into an accident, but the reality is that an injury can take place anywhere at any time.

Many catastrophic injuries happen when there's large equipment and/or alcohol and drug abuse involved. In either situation, there are more opportunities for negligent behavior if everyone involved isn't being extremely careful.

Some of the most common ways that catastrophic injuries occur include:

• —Accidents that take place in certain workplaces, including on construction sites or factories where large machinery or heavy equipment is present.
• —Using products that contain dangerous design or manufacturing defects.
• —Traffic accidents, especially those involving pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, or trucks. The victims of these accidents can sustain serious, life-threatening injuries.
• —Medical malpractice such as a wrong-site surgery that leaves the victim without a limb or with permanent brain or spinal cord damage.
