Victim of a brain injury?
Brain injuries occur in two forms: severe traumatic brain injuries and concussions (TBI's) and acquired brain injuries (ABI's). TBI's are caused from direct trauma such as in an automobile crash or electrocution. ABI's develop over time from such events as exposure to chemicals or from loss of oxygenation. Either can drastically change the lives of the victim and their loved ones. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there were over 60,000 reported brain injury deaths in 2019. Brain injuries contribute to 30% of all deaths in the U.S.
Brain injuries are commonly caused in falls (40.%), blows (15.5%), automobile crashes (14.3%), assaults (10.7%), electrocutions, oxygen deprivation, heart attacks or strokes, and even exposure to toxins.
Brain injuries can cause paralysis, severe memory impairment, mental disorders like depression and anxiety, and forms of dementia. Even a concussion can cause impairments and difficulties both short and long term. Treatment and care of severe brain injuries can cost millions of dollars over the course of a lifetime.
Brain injuries are often missed altogether due to a lack of specialized testing. Medical science and technology can now detect the micro-injuries within the brain if properly tested. Often this requires the patient to travel to a facility with the diagnostic imaging equipment capable of "seeing" what ordinary MRI and CT scans cannot. In addition, specialized cognitive testing by qualified neuropsychologists is usually required to document the effects of the brain injury.
