- Motor Vehicle Accidents – Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, especially when high speeds or commercial vehicles are involved.

The Impact of a Catastrophic Injury
The effects of a catastrophic injury extend far beyond physical pain. Victims often face significant financial challenges due to medical expenses, long-term care, and the inability to return to work.
