Protecting Your Rights After a Brain Injury
The brain is one of the most fragile parts of the body, and any injury to it — whether intentional or accidental — may qualify you for compensation. Victims of head trauma often do not appreciate that they have been injured, due to the subtleness of a mild traumatic brain injury. But often, after an accident, the victim will undergo personality changes, difficulties remembering things, and become frustrated by tasks that once were simple. It is important to follow up with your medical care providers and get tested for a brain injury if you have suffered any type of head trauma.
The leading causes of traumatic brain injury varies by age group. They include motor vehicle accidents, assaults, (both assault with blunt objects and assault with deadly weapons), and falls. Among people aged 65 and over, falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury. Among teenagers and young adults, car accidents are the leading cause, followed closely by firearm and sports-related TBIs, including concussions.
If you are a person whose life has been affected by a TBI incident, you know that your life and the lives of those around you have been permanently altered. People who suffer severe traumatic brain injuries may require the services of various types of professionals, including life care planners, case managers, and various therapists. Costs for treatment and rehabilitation of a TBI victim can run into millions of dollars.
