Brain Damage Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that at least 5.3 million Americans currently live with disabilities resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI each year.
Many of these injuries come from trauma, such as car accidents.
Anytime an individual receives a blow to the head, a brain damage evaluation should be performed.
Traumatic brain injury is one of the most common catastrophic injuries that a victim can sustain in a rollover accident. Forty percent of all rollover fatalities (which are often the result of serious traumatic brain injury) occur in sports utility vehicles or SUVs. Many SUVs are defectively designed, making them far less stable and much more likely to rollover in a car crash.
Long term disability is common with traumatic brain injury. Approximately one in four adults who suffer traumatic brain injury are still unable to return to work one year after an accident.
If you or someone you know has suffered "brain damage" as a result of the negligent act of another, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.
