An Overview of Catastrophic Car Accident Injuries in Georgia

On an annual basis, over 125,000 people in Georgia are injured in serious traffic accidents located throughout the state. Sadly, a signficant number of these individuals sustain a catastrophic injury, which is defined as an extremely serious and sudden injury that is life threatening and can greatly impact its victims. Such injuries often have devastating consequences, such as permanent disability, disfigurement, loss of income, inability to work, endless medical bills and more. Catastrophic injuries are typically caused by the negligence or misconduct of others, perhaps due to speeding, drunk driving, or driving while distracted.

The most common forms of catastrophic injuries are as follows:

• Back injuries & spinal cord damage
• Severe burns
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Amputations
• Paralysis
• Bone fractures
• Lacerations
• Organ damage & internal bleeding
• Wrongful death

For victims that face these types of catastrophic injuries, much uncertainty remains as to the future. Specifically, many have no idea as to whether they will ever be able to walk again, work, perform routine tasks, and live without pain. Moreover, not only do victims suffer greatly from their injuries, but friends and family also feel the effects as they try to help them during their recovery. For those that ultimately lost a loved one as a result of catastrophic injuries, they are left with a lifetime of emotional trauma and pain.

While every type of injury is different, there are similar aspects to all catastrophic injury cases. For instance, catastrophic injuries as a whole are difficult to treat, have life threatening and sometimes fatal consequences, cause serious emotional trauma, and their impact and the resulting damages to the victim and their family can be challenging to prove in a court of law. Moreover, they often require a significant amount of medical treatment and painful rehabilitation.
