A catastrophic injury can occur as a result of a number of types of accidents. Car crashes, falls from heights, accidents involving commercial vehicles, and aviation accidents are a few of the occurrences that have left thousands of individuals with long-term or debilitating injuries each year. Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are among the most common types of catastrophic injuries that have had a major impact on the lives of many accident victims throughout the United States.
Traumatic Brain Injury
“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States. Each year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability.”

Spinal Cord Injury Statistics
“It is estimated that the annual incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI), not including those who die at the scene of the accident, is approximately 40 cases per million population in the U. S. or approximately 12,000 new cases each year.”

Life care planning experts can help those who have sustained a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other type of debilitating injury assess their options for moving forward. Working with physicians and other experts, professional life care planners develop plans for meeting medical and other needs for patients with long-term or permanent injuries. Included in these life care plans are also referrals for various resources that can assist patients with long-term challenges. For those with catastrophic injuries, these typically include referrals for:
• Specialists who can assist in the treatment of their condition
• Resources for meeting their rehabilitative needs
• Support groups for victims and their loved ones
• And other items depending on an assessment of one’s specific needs
