Catastrophic injuries are severe and typically involve permanent or long-term disabilities. Examples include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis, severe burns, amputations, or multiple fractures that result in lasting impairment. These injuries usually have a profound impact on the individual’s ability to work or perform daily activities, and they require significant medical treatment and long-term care.
If you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (both current and future), rehabilitation costs, loss of income, and ongoing care. You may also be able to claim for home modifications, mobility aids, and non-economic losses, such as pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
In New South Wales, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a claim for catastrophic injury compensation. However, the process can be complex, so it’s essential to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure all necessary steps are taken within the required timeframes.
