/ What Makes It Catastrophic

Severe burns, amputations, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and injuries requiring long-term or repeated surgical care.
These cases are distinguished less by how they happened than by what they cost over a lifetime — care, equipment, home modification, lost earning capacity.
Settling one on the basis of the bills incurred so far is the most common way an injured person is left short.

Future Care Is Evidence, Not Estimate
A life care plan prepared by a qualified professional sets out the future medical and attendant care a specific injury will require.
Vocational and economic analysis addresses what the injured person could earn before and what they can earn now.

Life care planning and future medical needs are proven, not estimated.

Where the Money Actually Comes From
Serious injuries routinely exceed the primary insurance available, so identifying every potentially liable party and every applicable policy matters more here than in a smaller case.
Premises owners, contractors, equipment manufacturers, employers and vehicle insurers may each carry separate coverage.
Health insurers and government programs that paid for treatment will assert their own claims against a recovery, and those have to be handled rather than discovered at the end.
