Serious and Catastrophic injury or illness is considered a medical condition so severe they cause permanent or long-lasting harm to the impacted person. Severe illnesses or injuries have significant outcomes, such as being unable to work for the rest of their life or an extended period. Catastrophic conditions typically need substantial medical intervention to assist in recovery.
Physical severe harm typically involves damage to a vital body part. These conditions include:
When you make a common law claim for a catastrophic & serious injury, you seek legal damages from the negligent party who failed their duty of care. To have a successful common law claim, you must address 4 key elements:
The negligent person or party must owe the damaged party a duty of care, meaning they had an obligation 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 and this 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. Once established, you could be compensated for lost income, lost superannuation, pain and suffering, medical and rehab expenses, travel costs and emotional distress. Furthermore, you might also get punitive damages if the defendant’s actions were intentional.
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 best legal pathway. Call Now for immediate legal support – 1800 700 125.
