A serious injury is one that disrupts someone's life and may take a long time to heal. A broken bone, a burn injury or a back or neck injury may result in large medical bills, a long time off work and a need for expensive treatments such as surgery or long-term physical and occupational therapy.
The physical and financial challenges of a serious injury can be tremendous for the injured person and his or her family, but many people who have experienced serious injuries have ultimately recovered.

A catastrophic injury, on the other hand, permanently alters a lifestyle. A person with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury is unlikely to be able to work again as before. He or she will no doubt lose the ability to enjoy life as before. Former favorite activities may become out of the question. The injured person and his or her immediate family will have to cope with a life of disability.

Many people forge ahead valiantly after suffering a catastrophic injury and cope very admirably. They refuse to let the catastrophic injury define who they are. Lucky catastrophic accident victims often experience remarkably renewed and strengthened loving relationships with partners, spouses and other immediate family and close friends. A spinal cord injury victim who goes on to compete in the Special Olympics or retrains for a new occupation is often a source of inspiration to many.
Nonetheless, a person with a catastrophic injury needs a great deal of money, both short term and long term, to cover expenses and losses including the following:
- Medical bills
- Lost wage replacement
- Durable medical equipment, such as wheel chairs
- A modified vehicle and/or home remodeling or funds for moving to a new home
