A catastrophic injury has a severe impact on the victim and their family for a long time; that is why it is important to pursue financial compensation that covers medical and personal care expenses not only for the present, but well into the future.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is classified as a catastrophic injury because of the complex and delicate tissues of the brain that are damaged as a result of a blow to the head. A traumatic brain injury can cause a lessening of motor and cognition skills, memory loss, debilitating headaches, vision and hearing problems, dizziness, loss of consciousness, emotional instability and personality changes. People with TBI often suffer permanent damage and require extensive medical and personal care for their entire life.

Traumatic brain injuries can occur as a result of an automobile accident, a sports injury, a criminal assault or a job-related injury, but can also result from a simple fall or what is perceived to be at the time, a slight bump on the head. Over 3,000,000 people struggle with life after TBI in this country every day that requires physical, emotional and financial support in enormous quantities.
