Many accidents can result in catastrophic injuries that change the course of a victim’s life forever. Sadly, TBI can happen in just an instant.
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a TBI is “a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury.” Such impacts to the head can be caused by accidents ranging from car crashes to slip and falls.
If you are in such an accident and you either hit your head or your body is jolted—such as in a rear-end accident—you should see a doctor for a TBI test. While the effects of these injuries are not always immediately obvious, they can be extremely disruptive to your job and everyday life.
Not all TBIs are the same. Less serious cases, classified as concussions, may not have lasting effects. More severe TBIs result in lifelong disabilities.
That being said, even mild TBIs can greatly impact your day-to-day life, according to the Mayo Clinic. They might cause symptoms including:
People with moderate to severe TBIs may experience the same symptoms along with more serious effects like:
Some patients may be able to recover a few capabilities with therapy, but others will see no functional improvement. It’s important for anyone who suffered a TBI in an accident to understand their legal options, so they can afford the help they need.
TBIs can result in many costly medical bills, especially for cases that involve extended ICU or hospital stays. Moreover, if you sustained a TBI, you will likely miss work—and therefore paychecks—during your recovery. Emotional distress is another common effect of TBI; patients often benefit from professional counseling to help them feel like themselves again. In short, there are myriad damages that a TBI may incur; by filing a claim, you may be able to recover significant compensation.
TBI victims and their families should also consider the long-term effects of such an injury. You may be unable to ever return to your job depending on the severity of your injuries. You might face complications that require ongoing medical care. Or, you may need household or personal aid. If these needs persist for the rest of your life, you may have no way to cover the costs on your own. Filing a claim can give you the means to care for yourself and your loved ones in the years to come.
