What Qualifies As A Catastrophic Injury In Colorado?
A catastrophic injury is generally one that causes serious, lasting harm. It may limit your ability to work, move on your own or handle everyday tasks. Some people need ongoing treatment or help with daily care.
Examples include:
- Serious brain trauma
- Damage to the spinal cord
- Paralysis
- Loss of a limb
- Major burn injuries
- Complex fractures that cause lasting limitations
- Serious damage to internal organs
The effects can reach far beyond the initial injury. You may need surgery, rehabilitation, mobility equipment or changes to your home. You may also have to change careers or stop working altogether.
Our team considers these long-term effects when building a catastrophic injury claim in Colorado. We work to understand the full impact of the injury, not just what appears on the first medical bill.
Recoverable Damages In Northglenn Catastrophic Injury Cases
The amount you may recover depends on the facts of your case. It can also depend on how serious the injury is and how it may affect your future.
Compensation may address:
- Treatment bills from the past and those expected later
- Income you missed while recovering
- Reduced ability to earn income in the future
- Physical pain and the emotional impact of the injury
- Limits on hobbies, activities and everyday life
- Lasting disability or loss of physical function
- Costs for home changes, medical equipment and ongoing personal assistance
When an injury leads to death, certain family members may also have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
Colorado has rules that can limit some types of damages. The rules may vary based on the case and when the claim was filed.
