If you’ve been diagnosed with a brain injury, you may require on-going medical treatment. You may be wondering how you can pay these services.

Each year there are more than two million head injuries in the United States.  Almost 1.5 million of these injuries are traumatic brain injuries (TBI), head injuries that disrupt the function of the brain.  About 28,000 Virginians a year visit the emergency room for treatment of a TBI.

Brian injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among children and adults under 45-years-old. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that every 23 seconds, someone in the United States sustains a TBI. The costs associated with TBI add up to an estimated $60 billion dollars a year.

Traumatic brain injuries are, as the name suggests, caused by trauma.  A concussion is a traumatic brain injury.  They are usually caused by a sudden blow or jolt to the head that causes bruising, bleeding, or swelling of the brain.  Common causes of TBI include tractor trailer, truck and car accidents. The symptoms can be extremely varied and may not show up for some time after the accident.  If you've been in an accident and are suffering from unexplained symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, vision problems, difficulty with speech, changes in tastes, strange smells, memory problems, or loss of balance, you could have a brain injury.

If you've been diagnosed with a brain injury, you may require on-going medical treatment, physical therapy, occupation therapy, rehabilitation or other special services. You may be wondering how you can pay for these services.

If your brain injury was caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another, you are entitled to full and fair compensation for your injury.  This includes compensation for the costs of medical and rehabilitation services, as well as lost income, loss of earning capacity, loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering.  An experienced brain injury lawyer can help.
