A catastrophic failure is a sudden and total failure of some system from which recovery is impossible. Catastrophic failures often lead to cascading systems failure.
The term is most commonly used for structural failures, but has often been extended to many other disciplines where total and irrecoverable loss occurs. Such failures are investigated using the methods of forensic engineering, which aims to isolate the cause or causes of failure. (Reference from Wikipedia)
Catastrophic, mean to refer to injuries which need major medical treatment, and which usually have a long-term or enduring effect on an injured person's life. Some injuries are catastrophic, but with good medical attention the injured person can make a good or outstanding recovery. Others cause permanent disability, significant distress, and may substantially shorten an injured person's lifetime indicates California Serious Injury Attorney Steven C. Peck.
The good idea to seek specialized legal support with catastrophic injury cases. For example, some personal injury attorneys have a much better understanding of closed head injuries or burn injuries than others. A catastrophic injury can necessitate a lifetime of medical care, or repeated reconstructive surgeries. It is helpful to have an attorney who understands the treatment and recovery process. A harshly burned child may require repeated surgeries to accommodate growth, in addition to various cosmetic surgeries. A child with a bone crack that affects a growth plate may face difficult bone-stretching procedures, and may never have normal use of an affected limb. If an attorney understands the long-term effects of an injury, the attorney will be better able to argue for just compensation.
