Some 1.5 million Americans sustain a brain injury each year, with about 280,000 hospitalized and 50,000 dying from their injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many brain injury lawsuits revolve around traumatic brain injury. In these cases, a lifetime of medical and specialty care may be needed, and recovery is far from guaranteed. But legal action can also be taken in cases of mild to moderate brain injuries, enabling all victims of head injury to seek fair and full compensation for their damages.
The best way to learn if you have the option of filing suit for your brain injury is through a one-on-one consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer. During this meeting, your claim can be reviewed and your options discussed, helping to ensure you make the best decision for your specific needs.
