Traumatic Brain Injury
The brain is the most delicate and complex organ in existence, and the control center that keeps the body alive. Personality, memory, intellect, perception and reasoning are all controlled by this collection of neurons and synapses-as well as the more vital processes, motor coordination and breathing. Any injury to this critical organ we call the brain is this the dangerous results of accident, regardless of the actual severity.
The human brain is as fragile as it is important. Great care is exercised to prevent damage to it, including the use of helmets in almost every aspect of significant sports from football to snowboarding. While we take great care to avoid brain injury, a serious accident can occur anyways often with disastrous consequences. In the field of traumatic brain injury, there are various degrees of complexity and severity ascribed. Often these are not accurate and misused. In the field of traumatic brain injury we will often hear the descriptor of mild traumatic brain injury, when reality tells us that there are no injuries to the brain that are mild, at least from the perspective to the person who has experienced the injury.
Research indicates that symptoms of victims of brain injury can include everything from behavior and attitude changes to lack of focus in school or work, lethargy and reduction of balance of coordination. These problems can become long term and can seriously alter the individual and negatively affect the family structure.
Statistics tells us that up to 2 million traumatic brain injuries occur in the United States every year. And over 50% of those are caused by car accidents. Most traumatic brain injuries occur when the head strikes something forcibly, causing severe and sometimes fatal complications. It is likewise though not necessary that there actually be a blow to the head and in fact in many instances, not even a loss of consciousness.
Immediate medical treatment is vital to the victim’s chances of survival and recovery. Lack of oxygen to the brain at any time can cause irreparable damage to the delicate tissues needed to survive. In post accident infection can also cause the victim to suffer severe brain trauma. Those who survive a traumatic brain injury are often left disoriented, confused, and in a great deal of emotional and physical pain.
If you have sustained a traumatic brain injury you have suffered enough emotionally, physically and financially. Your time should be spent recovering not straining to pay mounting medical bills. If you suspect that you or your loved one has suffered from a traumatic brain injury, you have the rights to collect damages not only the cost of your expenses but also to compensate you for the pain you have suffered as a result.
1.4 million brain injuries occur each year and are a major cause of death and disability in children and adults. An estimated 80,000 to 90,000 people with traumatic brain injury experience permanent disabilities. According to the Center for Disease Control and prevention it is estimated that approximately 5.3 million Americans living with long term or life long brain injuries need assistance to perform tasks of daily living.
