Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are any injuries that have serious, long-term effects on the victim. They can often put serious stress on the victim’s family because they may need constant supervision or assistance for the rest of their lives, as well as a lifetime of rehabilitation and medical bills. Dragon can be a “lifesaver” in these types of cases. It gives them back a sense of independence and allows an individual to use a computer. With proper training and equipment, an individual can become productive again.
