BARNEY INJURY LAW
Significant brain injuries have the potential to result in permanent disabilities that may leave a brain injury victim requiring assistance and care for the rest of their lives. If you or a loved one suffered such an injury in an accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to seek compensation from the at-fault party to provide you with the financial resources you may need for lifetime care.
While people who suffer mild brain injuries often make a full recovery, moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can lead to permanent physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional changes that often require some amount of lifetime care.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, only 26 percent of people who suffered a moderate to severe TBI saw improvement in their condition within five years of their injury. Twenty-two percent of individuals saw no improvement of their condition five years after their injury, while 30 percent of people experienced a worsening of their condition.
Moderate and severe brain injuries can lead to significant complications even years after the initial injury. These complications can include:
Of people who suffer a moderate to severe TBI who live more than five years after initially suffering their injury, 57 percent of individuals remain moderately or severely disabled, while 55 percent of those who had a job prior to their injury remain unable to return to the workforce. Thirty-three percent of individuals require assistance with daily activities, and another 12 percent reside in long-term care facilities.
If you are the victim of a brain injury caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burdens of lifetime care that may be necessitated by your brain injury.
