Workplace injuries include incidents at work due to unsafe conditions or employer negligence. Catastrophic injuries are severe events such as spinal injuries, amputations, or traumatic brain injuries requiring long-term care.
Key elements include establishing liability, gathering medical records, calculating damages, and pursuing settlement or litigation. The process involves investigation, demands, negotiation, and, if needed, civil action.
