Catastrophic Injury Attorney

     Catastrophic Injuries are a classification of damages reserved for the most grave and severe cases, saved for wrongful death, disfigurement, permanent disability, fatality and suicide cases. 

     In The United States, most catastrophic injuries/accidents result in the loss of a life or the loss of earning capabilities due to the negligent actions of another party or person.  Work related fatalities are a pressing and continuing issue in the State of Massachusetts.

     From 1991 to 1999, 633 people died in the state of Massachusetts as a result of an injury that they sustained while on the job.  93% of those who suffered fatal injuries were male workers.  The fatal occupational injury rates for male workers were much higher than the rates for female workers for all the years under consideration. The average annual fatal occupational injury rate for the nine-year study period for men was 4.1 fatalities per 100,000 workers, more than thirteen times the rate for women (0.3 per 100,000). These findings are consistent with findings at the national level.
