What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is generally accepted to be an injury that permanently affects the victim or that will likely cause a fatality if not treated immediately. There are various legal definitions of catastrophic injuries, though, which could apply to your case. Labeling an injury as ‘catastrophic’ is important because it could change how your case progresses or what damages are available to you. For example, here in New York, car accident claimants are often barred from seeking additional damages from the other driver unless they have been catastrophically or seriously injured.

In New York liability law, a serious or catastrophic injury meets these definitions:

• Causes significant and/or noticeable disfigurement like visible scarring;
• Involves one or more bone fractures, usually considering large bones;
• Permanently limits the use of a body part or organ;
• Significantly limits the use of a body part or organ for any amount of time; or,
• Causes full disability for at least 90 days
