What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury causes permanent or long-term impairment, often affecting a person’s ability to work, live independently, or enjoy life as they once did. These injuries typically require significant medical treatment and ongoing care.

Common examples of catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI),
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis,
• Severe burns,
• Amputations or loss of limb function,
• Blindness or vision loss,
• Multiple fractures or orthopedic trauma, and
• Internal organ damage.

If you’re wondering what is considered a catastrophic injury and whether your injuries qualify, our team can help provide insight and guidance.

Why You Need a Portland Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Unlike a minor injury claim, catastrophic injury cases require complex calculations of future care costs, loss of income, and long-term needs. Insurance companies often resist these cases because the stakes are high, sometimes millions of dollars.

That’s why having a Portland catastrophic injury lawyer matters. At Mann Law, we understand how to build strong, strategic cases that reflect the full scope of your losses. We are not here to pressure you into litigation. We are here to protect your future.

How Can a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Help Me?

A catastrophic injury changes nearly every part of your life. The right lawyer can help you manage that complexity and reclaim some sense of stability.

Here is how a catastrophic injury lawyer can help you:

• Identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable;
• Work with medical experts to estimate long-term care needs and costs;
• Pursue compensation for lost income, medical expenses, and future needs;
• Fight for non-economic damages, including pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life; and
• Negotiate with insurance companies so you do not have to.

At Mann Law, we also recognize the emotional weight these cases carry. You are not just recovering from a physical injury but rebuilding your life. We walk with our clients every step of the way, offering both legal and human support throughout the process.

Chrissy Mann’s Strategic Advantage

Before founding Mann Law, Chrissy Mann worked for an insurance company, defending injury claims. That means she knows exactly how insurance carriers operate—what they look for, how they calculate risks, and where they try to cut corners.

That insight is invaluable in catastrophic injury cases. We use that inside knowledge to anticipate obstacles and build claims that are difficult to deny or underpay. It is part of what makes our firm different.

The Long-Term Costs of a Catastrophic Injury

Many people underestimate the cost of a life-altering injury. Medical bills are just the beginning. You may also be dealing with:

• Physical therapy and rehabilitation,
• Psychological counseling,
• Home or vehicle modifications,
• Mobility equipment or assistive technology, 
• In-home care or long-term residential care,
• Lost earning capacity, and
• Daily pain and emotional distress.

Your claim should reflect all of it. That’s why we work with life care planners, medical professionals, and financial experts to better understand your current and future needs in detail.

A catastrophic injury claim is your shot at fair compensation. We want to make sure it’s done right.

What Damages Can Be Recovered?

In a catastrophic injury claim, compensation may include:

• Medical expenses (past and future),
• Lost income and loss of future earning capacity,
• Pain and suffering,
• Mental anguish,
• Loss of enjoyment of life,
• Permanent disability or disfigurement, and
• Loss of consortium (in cases where relationships are impacted).

At Mann Law, we take a custom approach to every case. We do not rely on impersonal calculators or assumptions. We take the time to understand your goals, challenges, and the impact this injury has had on your life.

Every Case Is Unique—So Are the Outcomes

We understand the temptation to search for average settlement amounts. But here’s the truth: any attorney who guarantees you a large settlement upfront is not being honest.

Catastrophic injury settlements vary widely based on:

• Type and severity of the injury,
• Age and career status of the injured person,
• Available insurance coverage,
• Long-term care requirements, and
• Liability disputes and expert testimony.

We will never promise more than we can deliver. But we do promise to work tirelessly for what is fair and help you understand every step of the process so you can make informed decisions along the way.
