Brain injury can have long term consequences. If you or a loved one experienced brain injury after a car crash, your future quality of care could depend on your representation in a personal injury case. See why brain injury victims need an experienced advocate on their side.
Suffering from a brain injury can significantly impact your life. The injured person is seldom the same, even if some level of function returns. There may be obvious changes in a person’s ability to speak or perform daily tasks as well as subtle changes in the person’s personality, emotional stability, and ability to retain information. People with severe brain damage may require lifelong care. Even people who suffer less severe brain injury may be unable to work at their previous job or need ongoing psychological or emotional therapy. In short, a brain injury has long-lasting consequences that require expensive and long-term care and treatment.
Depending on the severity of the injury, brain dysfunction can be temporary or more long-term. The injuries that typically result in long-term complications may involve:
- Bruising
- Torn tissues
- Bleeding
- Physical damage to the brain
Caring for a Family Member with Brain Injury Requires Extensive Resources
In many of these cases, people require lifelong medical care and access to individualized services and support systems to once again achieve a healthy and satisfying lifestyle. Some of these services may include psychological or emotional therapy. In these cases, the injuries sustained will cause various long-lasting consequences for the victim. These consequences will require long-term treatment and care that can prove to be very expensive for the victim and their loved ones.
These treatments and specialized facilities can be exceedingly difficult to locate and are often extremely costly for families who have assumed care of a loved one that has suffered a traumatic brain injury. While there are many centers offering 24-hour care, each individual will have specific needs unique to their injury. Because of this, it can require extensive research and first-person interviews to determine which facility is best equipped to meet the needs of the injured person.
Many families simply do not have the time or money necessary to thoroughly research available treatment centers. Once a list of available treatment centers is acquired, it is recommended for families to conduct walk-throughs and on-site interviews with the staff at each center in order to determine the best fit for their family member. As you might imagine, this process can be exhaustive and often causes immediate family members to miss valuable time at work, as well as at home. This can lead to fatigue, injury, or decline in health for members of the injured person’s immediate family. Thankfully, there are existing resources to aid families in finding treatment centers, narrowing down their initial list, and eventually selecting the treatment center that they feel is the best fit for their loved one.
The Brain Injury Association of America explains that brain injuries are not an event or outcome, but rather the start to a long-term, often misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and under-funded neurological disease. Brain injuries require timely medical attention and access to specialized rehabilitation facilities in order to combat the effects of the injury. The short and long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries can vary immensely in size and scope. Individuals may lose valuable time at work due to rigorous rehabilitation schedules. When the person eventually returns to work they might suffer from a large decrease in their productivity due to an inability to perform the tasks that were once quite familiar to them. If the injury is especially serious the individual may not be able to return to work at all. These types of injuries can be the result of any serious accident.
