A catastrophic injury according to the Labor Code is defined as a severe injury that is expected to leave an individual incapacitated for a protracted period of time and cause financial hardship. These types of injuries are common for workers in the construction industry, transportation industry, manufacturing industries, and those who regularly deal with toxic chemicals and dangerous machinery, such as in construction accidents. Public safety officials such as police officers, firefighters, and other employees are also prone to such injuries due to the nature of their occupations.
