Support With Catastrophic Injury Claims
Catastrophic injuries are severe injuries that have life-altering consequences. They often involve brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, or multiple traumas. These injuries usually require extensive treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care, often resulting in the inability to return to work.
A catastrophic injury claim seeks to recover the costs associated with these long-term impacts. Compensation can cover:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Long-term care and support services
- Modifications to your home or vehicle
- Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life

Catastrophic injuries are severe injuries that cause permanent or long-term disability, such as brain damage, spinal injuries, amputations, or severe burns.
In Victoria, most personal injury claims must be started within one (1) – three (3) years of the date of injury. Extensions can apply in certain cases. This also depends on whether the injury occurred as a result of a transport accident; at work; or in a public place. It is best to seek advice as soon as possible, ideally within 12 months of the injury.
Compensation can cover medical treatment, ongoing care, rehabilitation, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, home or vehicle modifications, and pain and suffering.
Many claims can be resolved through negotiation with insurers. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our lawyers can represent you in court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
At Littles Lawyers, we operate on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful, and we explain all costs upfront.
