What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is one that is so severe, it results in long-term or permanent disability. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and care, including multiple surgeries, long hospital stays, and ongoing rehabilitation. In many cases, victims of catastrophic injuries are unable to return to work and, therefore, lose their income and benefits. They may also be unable to enjoy the activities they once loved, such as playing sports or spending time with their children.
Some of the most common types of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe burns
- Amputations
- Paralysis
These are just a few examples of the many types of catastrophic injuries that can occur. If you or someone you love has suffered a severe injury, it is important that you reach out to an experienced attorney to learn more about your rights and options.
How Do Catastrophic Injuries Occur?
Catastrophic injuries can occur in a wide range of accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and more. They can also occur as a result of property owner negligence, defective products, and other incidents. In many cases, these accidents and incidents are caused by the negligence of another person or party.
Some of the most common causes of catastrophic injuries include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Construction accidents
- Defective products

When a catastrophic injury occurs as a result of another person or party’s negligence, the victim may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. However, these cases are often complex and require the assistance of a skilled attorney.

How Long Do I Have to File a Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is generally two years from the date of the accident or incident that caused the injury. However, when it comes to catastrophic injuries, the statute of limitations may be different.
For example, if the victim of a catastrophic injury is a minor, the statute of limitations may be “tolled,” or paused, until the child turns 18. This means that the child would have until their 20th birthday to file a personal injury lawsuit. Additionally, if the victim of a catastrophic injury is mentally incapacitated, the statute of limitations may be tolled until they regain their mental capacity.
It is also important to note that, in some cases, the statute of limitations may be shorter than two years. For example, if you are filing a personal injury lawsuit against a government entity, you may have as little as 90 days to file a claim. This is why it is so important to reach out to an attorney as soon as possible after an accident or incident occurs.
