Any type of injury can cause misery, depression, pain, trauma, distress or even loss of income. Usually though, when a person is injured they eventually get better and live a normal life. However, with catastrophic injuries, these generally cause permanent damage, which sometimes has life long inferences. When a person suffers from this type of injury they usually cannot go back to their normal state of living and their lives are never the same. This is an individual who may never be able to work again for the rest of their life, or may be permanently disabled.  These lifelong injuries may need medications or treatment that can become very expensive.
