A traumatic brain injury, TBI, can be devastating, often affecting the ability for an individual to function on a normal level for the rest of their lives. There are currently 5.3 million Americans living with a traumatic brain injury, accounting for a little over two percent of the U.S. population now living with a disability because of traumatic brain injury. Making such an impact on Americans, a traumatic brain injury occurs every 21 seconds.
Many people associate a traumatic brain injury with an obvious cause, like a major fall or car crash. It has been assumed that the high number of children that suffer a traumatic brain injury make good recoveries because of the plasticity of the brain. Current research also shows that since the children''s brains are developing this might put them instead at a more vulnerable spot. Traumatic brain injury attorneys exist because of liability that usually accompanies the injury and the lasting effects the brain injury will have on the individual.
A reputable traumatic brain injury attorney has experience making sure the extent of the injury is evaluated, which can leave impairments on all cognitive abilities. Since many TBI patients appear as any other person that is not suffering a physical injury, the patient will never be properly treated for the actual effects the injury has had on their cognitive or motor skills.
