When someone suffers a disability that results in impactful life changes such as a hindrance to money earning ability, ongoing medical bills for treatment or the requirement of care from a family member or medical professional for example, their life has altered in a significant way.

There is a specific legal definition for what constitutes a catastrophic injury. The 34 U.S. Code § 10284 states: “catastrophic injury means an injury, the direct and proximate consequences of which permanently prevent an individual from performing any gainful work.”
