Houston Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

What Qualifies Legally as a Catastrophic Injury?

Some states have specific legal definitions for what constitutes a catastrophic injury and, accordingly, have unique rules for civil claims built around that type of injury. In Texas, the term catastrophic injury is a purely colloquial one, used by legal professionals and sometimes court authorities to establish that an injury caused by a third party’s misconduct will have life-altering and irreversible effects on the injured person.

Examples of injuries that often meet this somewhat subjective definition include:

• Spinal cord damage resulting in permanent paralysis, including paraplegia of the lower limbs and quadriplegia of all four limbs plus the entire torso
• Traumatic brain damage resulting in a permanent loss of sensory, motor, or cognitive function
• High-degree burns that cause permanent scarring or loss of feeling and movement
• Any injury that results in the loss or amputation of a limb
• Any injury resulting in a permanent loss of vision, hearing, or any other sensation
• Internal organ trauma resulting in a permanent loss of function
