Brain Injury Effects and Medical Expenses

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over one-million Americans per year visit doctors due to brain injuries, and nearly 50,000 per year lose their lives due to these injuries. It’s also estimated that over 5 million Americans – about 1.5% of the U.S. population – live with disabilities due to brain injuries. Full medical evaluations are always necessary for these injuries, and if you’ve been injured in an accident due to another’s negligence, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Brain injury symptoms can range from mild to severe, and some symptoms are initially mild but worsen over time. The concussion is one of the most common types of brain injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can be caused by injuries to the skull, bruised brain tissue, ordamaged nerves, or blood vessels. These injuries can have long-term effects on cognitive and motor functions, such as vision and memory, and some effects can permanently affect how victims perform basic daily functions.

Medical attention, both immediately after a brain injury and in the future, is extremely important to protect against long-term or permanent complications, and you deserve to be compensated for all your injuries and losses, including short- and long-term medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and lost quality of life.
