Brain Injuries

Understanding the Impact of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be devastating. It is estimated that more than 1.7 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year in the U.S., and between 3 to 5 million people in the United States are suffering from traumatic brain injuries. The annual costs of brain injuries in the U.S. cost $60 billion, including direct medical costs and indirect costs such as lost productivity. Damage to the brain and head can have a lasting impact on an individual’s quality of life. If you or a loved one has suffered from a brain injury or another catastrophic injury, you will need to work alongside an experienced brain injury attorney.

There are different types of brain injuries, including:

  • Open head brain injury
  • Closed head brain injury
  • Lack of oxygen to the brain (hypoxia)
  • Infection to brain and membranes

At Casey Law Offices, we can represent clients who have suffered from any type of brain injury. Our brain injury team can fully evaluate your claim and help you better understand the impact of your injuries on your life. We can provide personalized guidance throughout the claims process and ensure that you are able to receive the necessary medical treatment to help you recover. We fight for justice and full and fair compensation for each client.

Main Causes of Brain Injury

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) 2015 data, the top causes of brain injuries are:

  • Falls (35%, or around 595,095 people)
  • Motor vehicle-related accidents (17%, or around 292,202 people)
  • Struck by an object (16.5%, or around 279,882 people)
  • Assault (10%, or around 169,625 people)

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain injuries have been called a silent epidemic because, in many cases, they go undetected even on advanced imaging technologies like MRIs. Diagnosing brain injuries can be tricky because symptoms often do not manifest immediately, and when they do, they can be easily mistaken for other medical conditions. This delay in symptom onset and the subtlety of some symptoms can result in a lack of timely treatment, exacerbating the injury’s impact. Some common signs of a brain injury include:

  • Blurred vision
  • Memory issues
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Balance and dizziness issues
  • Serious depression

If you have been in any type of accident recently, we recommend that you see a doctor immediately and have your medical professional monitor your body for any symptoms of traumatic brain injury. Victims of car accidents, truck accidents, and slip and falls are particularly at high risk for brain injuries because of the serious nature of these accidents.

Early diagnosis and intervention are key to managing brain injuries effectively and improving outcomes. If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms following an accident, do not hesitate to seek medical advice to ensure proper care and treatment.

What Qualifies as a Severe Brain Injury Claim?

A severe brain injury claim involves seeking compensation for injuries that drastically alter your life due to an accident or unsafe conditions. To qualify, the injury must significantly impact your daily activities, ability to work, or quality of life. It is critical that the injury is substantiated by medical documentation and that the claim is filed within the legal time limits set by state laws. Our experienced team can help assess your situation and guide you through the process of pursuing compensation.

The Costs of a Brain Injury

Living with a brain injury is costly, both financially and emotionally, and the road to recovery is often a long and stressful one. Not many families are equipped to shoulder the unexpected burden, which is why it is crucial that victims take action and seek compensation for their losses. At our law firm, we work hard to make sure that our clients are fully compensated for all of their current and projected costs. Our team works with experts to help us evaluate the long-term costs of care and to quantify emotional losses and suffering you are enduring. Examples of costs associated with a brain injury claim include:

  • Medical treatment: This includes immediate hospital bills for emergency care, ongoing costs for medication, rehabilitation programs, and physical therapy. Intensive care treatment and the need for specialized medical equipment, such as wheelchairs or adaptive devices, also contribute to the overall expense.
  • Lost income: Including current lost wages and loss of earning capacity if you are unable to work or earn the same level of income
  • Long-term care costs: Many brain injury victims require long-term care, which can include hiring caregivers or residing in care facilities. These ongoing expenses can be substantial and may be necessary for the rest of the victim’s life. Ensuring that these costs are covered is a critical aspect of any brain injury claim.
  • Mental health costs: The psychological impact of a brain injury can be as debilitating as the physical effects. Victims may need therapy to help them adapt to changes in their lives, manage behavioral changes, and cope with emotional stress. Costs for mental health services, including counseling and psychiatric care, are often included in compensation claims to address these needs.
