Catastrophic injuries can occur in many different types of accidents. Common causes include:

Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis. These injuries often require lifelong medical care, assistive devices, and modifications to living spaces.
Loss of a limb affects mobility, independence, and employment opportunities. Amputation injuries often involve extensive rehabilitation and long-term prosthetic care.
Burn injuries may cause permanent scarring, nerve damage, and loss of function. Victims may require multiple surgeries and ongoing medical treatment.
