What is a Catastrophic Impairment Assessment?<\/p><\/h2><\/span> A Catastrophic Impairment Assessment is used to determine the severity of a person\u2019s injuries, commonly used for motor vehicle accident victims.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Persons who have severe physical, neurological, neuropsychological, mental\/behavioral, vascular, visual, spinal cord, orthopedic, and\/or other disabilities as a result of motor vehicle trauma, will often require access to funding for their rehabilitation and care needs over their lifetime.<\/p>\n Claimants with injuries meeting the Catastrophic Impairment definition requirements may have access to a higher level of benefits for medical and rehabilitation goods and services, attendant care, and case management that according to the most recent (June 1, 2016) changes in SABS regulations could be up to $1,000,000.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> A CAT assessment will determine whether the claimant is entitled to a catastrophic level of funding.\u00a0 Assessments evaluate the victim\u2019s physical, mental, and behavioral state to determine if the patient is injured and if these injuries impact their daily living and ability to work.<\/p>\n A physician can evaluate an injured person at three (3) months using AMA Guides 4th and 6th editions, to determine if the person suffers a fifty-five percent (55%) whole person impairment (WPI), or if his\/her condition is unlikely to improve to a whole person impairment\u00a0 (WPI) which is less than 55%.<\/p>\n Our professionals are fully trained in the use of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment and in catastrophic impairment assessments.<\/p>\n The Assessment Centre provides a free<\/strong> Catastrophic Impairment Calculator<\/strong><\/a> for identifying individuals who are catastrophically impaired.<\/p>\n Take the first step: complete our online calculator and determine your probability of catastrophic impairment!<\/p>\n<\/div>Complete our free Catastrophic Impairment Calculator<\/h2>\n
