Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries And Spinal Cord Damage

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by a blow, jolt or penetrating injury to the head, ranging from mild to severe. Spinal cord damage involves injury to the spinal cord that can affect movement, sensation and bodily functions. Both conditions often require intensive, long-term medical care.

The financial impact of these injuries can be staggering, since long-term recovery often requires:

• Hospitalization and surgery: Emergency care in the critical period immediately after injury
• Rehabilitation programs: Inpatient and outpatient therapy to restore function and independence
• Assistive devices and home modifications: Equipment and home changes that support daily living
• Lost income: Wages lost during recovery and future earning capacity
• Long-term personal care: In-home support or residential care for ongoing needs

The lifetime costs of severe TBI or spinal cord injury can reach millions of dollars.

Accidents That Can Result In A Traumatic Brain Injury Or Spinal Cord Injury

TBI and spinal cord injuries can result from many types of serious accidents. You may have the right to seek compensation if your injury resulted from:

• Car accidents
• Truck and commercial vehicle crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Construction and workplace accidents
• Sports and recreational activities

No matter how your injury occurred, we can help you understand your legal rights.
