Catastrophic Claims

In Ontario, an accident is deemed catastrophic in various ways, such as when it causes a severe injury to the spine, spinal cord, brain, loss of limbs, vision loss, etc. A combination of physical, emotional and cognitive injuries can lead to your injuries being considered catastrophic. A claim can also become catastrophic depending on the severity of the impairments on your activities of daily living, social functioning, adaptation and concentration and persistence.

Catastrophic accidents can also include car or motor vehicle, slip and falls, bike accidents, sport and play accidents and even physical assault. Catastrophic claims are complicated, however, they also entitle victims to larger claims and if involving a motor vehicle accident a wider variety of accident benefits. Naimark Lawyers have significant experience in the field of catastrophic claims and will provide legal counsel and continued pursuit of justice to get you the settlement or award you are entitled to.

Disabilities resulting from brain injuries and head trauma can last a lifetime. Severe head injuries will require surgery for the removal of ruptured blood vessels or bruised tissue. Minor head injuries can cause vertigo, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Brain injury related accidents lead to expensive hospital and medical care, rehabilitation therapy, special equipment, long-term and nursing care, and other expenses.

Much like brain injuries, spinal cord injuries can be expensive and cause long term suffering and disability. Trip and falls, car accidents, sports injuries and other accidents or violence can result in spinal cord injuries that are costly and life changing causing mobility issues or paralysis, temporarily or for life. Hospital stays following spinal cord injuries could last a month or longer, with long term rehabilitation and treatment necessary. Often, spinal cord injuries result in the inability to return to work.
