The Losses You Might Have Suffered After a Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury indicates that the brain suffered some level of trauma – a lack of oxygen, impact, or pressure. This caused a lack of function in the brain or may have limited the brain’s overall structure. When this happens, people suffer long-term and short-term implications.
What makes brain injuries additionally challenging is that they are all different. What happens to you may be vastly different than what happens to someone else. Our goal, as your brain injury lawyer in Burbank, CA, is to determine what all of your losses are – from the moment they occurred and through your future. Consider some of the most common losses suffered from these events.
Emergency and Ongoing Medical Care
Often, traumatic brain injuries require emergency care, which may include an ambulance ride and medical care in an ER. Often, there are surgical procedures, in-hospital stays during the recovery process, and various interventions. Often, people spend a significant amount of time just working to heal enough to be stable.
Rehabilitation and Healing
Many traumatic brain injuries also require time for healing. During this time, the wounds must heal, but there is also the process of retraining the brain to function as it should. This also takes a long time and can have limited improvements in some situations.
You may be able to go home, or you may be required to remain in a rehabilitation center relearning how to function.
Changes to Your Home and Lifestyle
What types of changes have occurred in your life resulting from this incident?
- You had to make modifications to your home due to mobility issues.
- There is now the need to have someone with you 24 hours a day.
- You cannot walk or handle various other tasks on your own.
- There is a need to go to rehab constantly, which makes it impossible for you to work.
- You may have challenges speaking, making decisions, and working through challenges.
The Emotional Trauma
It goes without saying that many people with traumatic brain injuries also suffer from trauma. This is a devastating incident that may be limiting your quality of life. You may be struggling with pain on a daily basis.
It may be hard to realize that you may not recover fully from the incident, and that could impact your ability to work, find a partner, live a long time, achieve your goals, and even just communicate easily. You may be entitled to compensation for these losses, too, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
