Traumatic Brain injury

Facing a Traumatic Brain Injury 

Sudden damage to the brain—like a blow or jolt to the head—can cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Mayfield Brain & Spine Clinic says that during the impact of an accident, which could include a specific lobe or the entire brain, crashes back and forth inside the head causing bruising, bleeding, and tearing of nerve fibers. 

It's said that nearly 1.7 million Americans have experienced a TBI, and with it, over 70,000 have a long-term disability, as a result. 

Causes of TBI include car collisions, motorcycle wrecks, medical malpractice, slip, and fall accidents, and sports-related incidents, among others. Surviving such a tumultuous event can have lasting effects that might require continuous rehabilitation, possibly even relearning skills. 

And as recovery is only part of the solution, you might find yourself with more questions than answers. It's likely time for you and your family to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety and consider your options for retribution, be it lost wages, medical bills, treatment and care, and overall mind and body management. It's a long road to recovery, but you're not in it alone.
