What Makes an Injury “Catastrophic?”

Although any injury can greatly impact a person’s life, some are so severe they result in permanent, life-altering effects. These are known as “catastrophic” injuries. Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Hearing loss
  • Bone fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputation/loss of limb
  • Eye injuries/vision loss
  • Severe burns
Generally speaking, catastrophic injuries are those that lead to significant and/or permanent disfigurement, disability, dismemberment, or impairment. In Utah, catastrophic injuries typically meet the state’s “serious injury” threshold. This means that an individual who has suffered a catastrophic injury due to a motor vehicle accident can go outside the state’s no-fault car insurance system and file an injury claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company or bring a lawsuit directly against the liable party.

How Are Catastrophic Injury Claims Different Than Regular Personal Injury Claims?

Catastrophic injury cases are similar to standard personal injury claims with some key differences. Like regular personal injury claims, catastrophic injury claims can arise from any type of accident or traumatic event.

Some of the most common causes of catastrophic injuries include:

The main difference between typical personal injury claims and those involving catastrophic injuries is the severity of the damage. In turn, more severe injuries have several effects.

Specifically, victims of catastrophic injuries typically experience:

  • Higher medical expenses
  • Greater loss of earning capacity
  • More extensive lost wages/income
  • Profounder pain and suffering


Overall, catastrophic injury cases tend to be higher in value than standard personal injury claims. As a result, victims are likely to experience considerable challenges in recovering fair compensation. Insurance companies do not like to pay out high-value claims and will often do everything they can to dispute, devalue, or deny these claims.
