A serious and catastrophic injury or illness is a severe medical condition that causes permanent (or long-lasting) harm. These severe illnesses or injuries have significant outcomes, such as being unable to work for the rest of your life or an extended period.
Catastrophic conditions typically need ongoing medical care to assist recovery.
Physical severe harm typically involves damage to a vital body part. These conditions include:
When you make a common law claim for a severe and catastrophic injury, you seek legal damages from the negligent party who failed their duty of care. To have a successful catastrophic injury claim, you must address four key elements:
The negligent person or party must owe the damaged party a duty of care, meaning they were obliged to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety. Generally, everyone has an owed duty to others in most circumstances.
The negligent party breached their duty of care, which can be shown by an act or failure to act.
The damaged party can prove that the duty failure caused them serious or catastrophic harm.
For a successful common law claim, the injured party needs to prove they had a loss because of the defendant’s duty of care failure.
Severe injuries are not always physical. You can also have harsh mental health damage due to a traumatic event in your life. You could have a severe psychological or psychiatric injury claim if you have had a major accident or witnessed a serious incident. For example, you might have been in or seen a severe road accident, witnessed a traumatic death of another person or been involved in an aggressive assault.
If your mental health incident happened at work, in connection with your work, or on the road, it might be covered by workers’ compensation or as part of a car accident claim. Let us know your circumstances, and we will advise you on the appropriate legal pathway to justice. Call Now for immediate legal advice:- 1800 700 125.
