What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that has a profound and lasting impact on a person’s life. These injuries often result in permanent disabilities, significant medical expenses, and a need for long-term care.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
• Severe burns
• Amputations
• Loss of vision or hearing
• Multiple fractures or crush injuries

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in Offshore Settings

• Offshore Accidents and Catastrophic Injuries: Working or traveling offshore comes with unique risks. Catastrophic injuries can occur due to explosions or fires on oil rigs, equipment malfunctions, slip-and-fall accidents on vessels, collisions involving boats or ships.
• Maritime and Oil Rig Accidents: The Gulf Coast is home to a thriving offshore industry, but it’s also a hotspot for maritime and oil rig accidents. These environments are inherently dangerous, and when safety protocols are ignored, the consequences can be devastating.
