Expands eligibility for patients who suffer limb loss to qualify for catastrophic injury status, which affects damage caps and other legal protections in healthcare-related tort actions

Retains existing catastrophic injury categories including quadriplegia, paraplegia, permanent brain injury affecting daily living activities, irreversible organ system failure, and severe vision loss
