A catastrophic injury is not just another injury; it is a life-changing event.
Whether sustained during a major collision or another severe accident, these injuries often deprive victims of their ability to work, care for themselves, and provide for their families. The impact of such injuries extends far beyond immediate medical care, affecting nearly every aspect of a victim’s life.
When facing the aftermath of a catastrophic injury, it's essential to recognize that these injuries can include severe damage to the spine, brain, or limbs, and in the most tragic cases, even result in death.
The causes are varied, ranging from:
car crashes
motorcycle collisions
trucking accidents
falls
explosions
dog attacks
and more
These incidents leave victims with long-term or permanent impairments, requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
The legal process surrounding catastrophic injury cases is complex. One critical aspect to consider is the statute of limitations, which is the time limit within which you must file your claim. In Arizona, this period is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, there are instances where the time limit may be much shorter, especially in cases involving government entities or certain types of claims. Failing to file within this period can bar you from seeking compensation, which is why it is vital to consult an experienced catastrophic injury attorney as soon as possible.
