Catastrophic injuries can be caused by a number of circumstances. An injury may be considered catastrophic based on the severity and enormity of the impact that the injury has on the life of the victim. Often, these injuries occur suddenly, without warning and can cause permanent and lifelong disability. The consequences of such injuries routinely prevent victims from performing gainful employment and living normal lives. The overall impact of catastrophic injuries is immense and can send financial and emotional ripples throughout an entire family when caring for a loved one who is catastrophically injured.

Common examples of catastrophic injuries include spinal injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, skull fractures, spinal fractures, and any other injury causing death or severe functional disability. Being involved in an accident that causes catastrophic injury often results in long-term rehabilitation and medical bills that can take years to pay off. The process of coping with a catastrophic injury can become more muddled and difficult when insurance companies start to deny liability and refuse to provide coverage to pay for medical bills and expenses. At Kar Steiger, we may be able to help minimize the consequences of such issues by dealing with the insurance companies and hospitals ourselves. This allows the victim to focus on what is most important – themselves, their health, and their loved ones.
