A Free Guide to Traumatic Brain Injuries

by Staff Blogger | March 2nd, 2020

When you hear the phrase traumatic brain injury, you probably imagine a terrifying incident where someone is rushed to an emergency room and treated by a team of physicians. Though these injuries are most definitely terrifying, they often happen with far less attention than most might assume. But that doesn’t make them any less dangerous. A concussion, for example, is considered a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). These injuries happen every day across the U.S., and while many of them are treated appropriately, others go undiagnosed and untreated. This means that thousands of people are unknowingly suffering from the consequences of traumatic brain injuries.

The Importance of Brain Injury Awareness Month

This all leads us to Brain Injury Awareness Month, which is observed every March. By knowing how brain injuries happen and how to recognize them, we might be able to prevent the suffering that victims face after a TBI. We’ve created a free guide in honor of this yearly observance. However, the information we provide is useful any time of year. We encourage you to take a couple of minutes to learn more about:
  • The causes of brain injuries
  • Warning signs that a brain injury has occurred
  • Long-term consequences of brain injuries
  • Legal options for sufferers of brain injuries caused by others
Hopefully, you’ll come away from our guide with helpful insights that you can use to start the conversation about brain injuries with others. Get started with our free guide by clicking the image below. Free TBI Guide

What to Do If You Suspect a Brain Injury

If you suspect that you or someone you love has suffered a brain injury, see a doctor immediately. Treating a brain injury soon after it occurs can lessen some of the effects that sufferers experience. Even if you suspect that an injury might not be severe, never forgo medical treatment. Go to an emergency department immediately and make sure to tell the doctor or nurse how your injury occurred.

When Your Brain Injury Is Someone Else’s Fault

When brain injuries are caused by the actions of another person, whether intentional or not, the injured person has the right to consider their legal options. TBIs can be costly, painful, and disabling. If your injuries were someone else’s fault, you should not have to pay the price for their negligence. Filing an injury claim can help you get the money you need from the at-fault party’s insurance company.
