What is classified as a "catastrophic" injury?

One or more injuries with life-long consequences can be described as a catastrophic injury. Catastrophic injuries usually require ongoing medical care, limit future activities such as activities of daily living, the ability to work and participate in hobbies. Catastrophic injuries can be emotionally burdensome because a change of lifestyle is usually required in order to care for the injuries, and catastrophic injuries can be very expensive to treat due to the long-term medical care that is usually required.
