Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic illness or injury typically occurs without warning and may leave an individual suffering from permanent impairment and disabilities for the rest of their life. Catastrophic injuries can result from a variety of causes, such as a car or truck accident, work accident, medical malpractice, or any number of causes that can lead to severe, debilitating, and life-threatening injuries.
What kind of Injuries are considered Catastrophic?
An injury or illness may be considered catastrophic due to the enormous financial, physical, and emotional impact it has on an individual. A catastrophic injury or illness may be any of the following:
This is not an all-inclusive list of injuries that are considered catastrophic, but includes some of the most common injuries. Aside from financial and emotional cost, catastrophic injuries typically impair an individual’s ability to perform regular daily tasks and functions, and sometimes require around the clock attention and care. If such an injury was so severe that it caused death to your loved one, this may be a separate cause of action known as wrongful death. These are also tragic events that must be taken seriously and pursued with vigor to ensure the right parties are held responsible.

I’m in the hospital can you come to me?
Yes, if you are in the hospital or your injuries prohibit you from being able to come to our office, one of our attorneys will come to you.
Can I still recover if I caused an accident?
Colorado has a comparative fault rule – If you were partially responsible for the accident, you may only collect damages for the percentage of fault the other driver had for the accident. In Colorado, an injured party that is 50% or more responsible for an accident is barred from recovering. In cases where fault is not clear or questionable, it is important to have the attorneys at Alhasoon, Glidden and Glidden on your side.
