Catastrophic injuries are those that result in permanent damage to the victim, and may result in a lifetime of extensive medical care and permanent disability or disfigurement. They are often the most devastating types of injuries, as the victim is never the same as they were before the accident, whether physically, mentally, or both.
Catastrophic injuries can occur as a result of several devastating situations including:

- Product liabilities

When we do not feel well, we place our trust in physicians and the medications that we are prescribed. Drugs should make us feel better and help us to get over illness and back on our feet, but unfortunately, some drugs have undisclosed and harmful side effects that can be even worse than the original problem that we sought help for in the first place. If you have been affected by the serious side effects of a dangerous drug, it is very important that you do not hesitate to contact an experienced personal injury attorney. Dangerous drugs have been known to cause heart problems, stroke, kidney failure, birth defects and other side effects.
When we buy a product to fulfill a specific purpose, we expect that product to work properly. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products not only fulfill their purpose, but also fulfill that purpose safely. For example, if we buy a car seat to protect our children in the event of a car accident, we expect that our child will be protected from harm. We trust that a product will not harm us. If any product does not properly work and in fact causes an injury, you should contact a qualified and experienced lawyer right away. In some cases, products may use inferior materials or malfunction causing severe injury. There are many examples such as an electrical appliance with poor wiring that can cause shock or fire.
