Expenses to Expect Over Time Following Catastrophic Injuries
There are many types of injuries that are considered to be catastrophic, from motorcycle collisions where a rider is thrown from their bike to head-on collisions involving motor vehicles at high speeds. In accidents involving more than one party, you might find that the injuries resulting from the impact are much worse than they would have been in any other circumstances.
In catastrophic injury cases, one thing that becomes evident is that lifelong expenses could result, which means that you might be feeling on your own or without options at this time. If you have received an injury that requires constant medical attention, then it doesn’t make sense for you to return to work. You might never be able to work the same hours you once did before your injury, or even be able to do the same kind of job. You might also accrue a variety of expenses for medications, therapy, and regular home nursing care, which could all add up when the finances are already bringing you down. Here are just some of the costs that might follow a catastrophic injury:
- Costs of your hospitalization;
- Emotional distress;
- Medical treatment, in the present and future;
- Nursing care;
- Prescriptions;
- Lost income from missed work; and/or
- Cost of medical equipment.
Of course, there are many other expenses that follow these injuries as well. You might feel the strain of your catastrophic injury from the moment you receive your first medical bill or the physical pain you experience caused by your injuries.
