What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

Under Oregon law, you have 2 years from the date of your injury to bring a lawsuit against a negligent party. This also applies to any injury deemed catastrophic. However, because of the permanent nature of these injuries, you may be able to ask for additional damages, since the associated medical costs, lost wages, and other living expenses are often significantly higher.

Some of the most common catastrophic injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Third-degree burns
  • Perforated bowels and abdomen
  • Severe disfiguring scars
  • Heart injuries
  • Amputation of a limb
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Loss of hearing or vision
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Coma or catatonia

Catastrophic injuries can result from various issues, from car and truck accidents to abuse cases, such as nursing home and sexual abuse incidents.
