Why Traumatic Brain Injuries Are Life-Changing

Every year, more than 2 million adults and children suffer brain injuries severe enough to require emergency care, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC considers traumatic brain injuries to be a significant contributor to physical and cognitive impairments.

As traumatic brain injury lawyers serving San Antonio, D. Miller & Associates, PLLC has seen how these catastrophic events affect both patient and family.

TBI Patients Require Extensive Medical Care

Most TBI patients need extensive medical care. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke estimates that 50% of severe head-injured patients must have surgery to remove or repair hematomas (burst blood vessels) or contusions (damaged brain tissue).

Little can be done to reverse brain damage, but some treatments and therapies improve the quality of life for TBI survivors. Many need the help of physical and speech therapists to relearn how to walk, talk, and perform daily life activities.

TBI Patients Often Suffer Lifelong Impairments

Depending on the severity of the injury and how quickly the patient received emergency care, a TBI survivor may be permanently disabled. They may have trouble with memory, decision making, social skills, and communication. Some people with traumatic brain injury are unable to work or complete their education.

Loss of Life

On average, more than 56,000 adults and over 2,500 children lose their lives in a TBI-related injury, according to the CDC. The tragic loss of a loved one is devastating for surviving family members. It can also affect their quality of life if the victim was a major contributor to the family’s income.

If you or a family member suffered injuries because of someone’s carelessness, you could be entitled to financial recovery for medical care, lifecare, and loss of income. Call D. Miller & Associates, PLLC today for a free case evaluation: (713) 850-8600.
