Physical injuries are considered catastrophic when victims experience severe, long-term or life-altering damages. Catastrophic injuries also tend to involve substantial amounts of medical procedures and treatment as well as lengthy periods of care. The consequences that catastrophic injuries pose to victims and their families can be overwhelming.

In addition, the emotional repercussions can also be severe, as physical limitations, whether temporary or permanent, can greatly compromise a victim's quality of life. There are no hard lines that conclusively define what constitutes a catastrophic injury.
