A catastrophic injury is a severe and sudden injury causing the loss of limbs, compromised brain function, severely reduced mobility and/or loss of eyesight. If you have been in a car accident, “œcatastrophic impairment” has a very specific definition under the insurance Act of Ontario. These injuries can have very serious long-term effects on a person’s well-being, ability to work and quality of life. They not only put a strain on the victim but also the family members who may be required to provide financial and emotional assistance. Catastrophic injuries can leave victims with pain, suffering, and large rehabilitation and health care costs. If the injury was caused by the negligent actions of a person or group of people, then you must file a personal injury claim with the assistance of an experienced lawyer.
Different circumstances may lead to a catastrophic injury. Because of the huge financial implications that such injuries have on the victims, a personal injury claim can help the affected to improve their quality of life, obtain proper rehabilitation and support. With a qualified catastrophic injury lawyer, you can get compensation for the damages sustained, such as lost income, pain and suffering, health care costs, the cost of an aid or attendant and home modifications.

“Our results in catastrophic injury cases are measured in financial terms. But I have always felt that the true success in legal cases where lives have been shattered in an accident comes from a compassionate and thorough understanding of the deepl human costs involved.”
– Howard Yegendorf, Founding Partner.
At Howard Yegendorf & Associates, our clients include individuals with catastrophic or severe physical injuries whose lives are forever altered. After a major accident, victims may have pain and suffering for the remainder of their lives, including damage to the brain, spine or other parts of the nervous system.
In addition to tremendous physical pain from the injury, accident victims often feel lost and confused personally and emotionally. Victims need to focus on recovering and regaining peace of mind while we fight for their rights.
