Examples of catastrophic injuries include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, accidental amputations and neurological disorders.

Catastrophically injured people require specialized medical care- often for the rest of their lives- but unfortunately, determining who is responsible is usually difficult, and often, there are several parties whose conduct played a role in the injury. Even when fault is known, the insurance coverage is often inadequate to provide compensation for medical care, much less make up for the lack of wages that a catastrophically injured person needs to live. Therefore it often becomes necessary to seek alternative compensation. These types of cases are complex, lengthy and costly to take to trial, and large jury verdicts are rare. Often the victim is under-compensated, with the compensation falling well short of funds needed to adequately pay for required medical care.

Because of this, success in court can literally mean the difference between life and death.
