Of all types of injury, brain injuries are among the most likely to result in death or permanent disability. Estimates of traumatic brain injury (TBI) incidence, severity, and cost reflect the enormous losses to individuals, their families, and society from these injuries. According to the CDC, each year, more than 80,000 Americans survive hospitalization for a traumatic brain injury, but are discharged with TBI-related disabilities; 5.3 million Americans are living today with a TBI-related disability. If you are among them, we may be able to help you. Contact a brain injury lawyer in New York today to get a free consultation and learn about your legal rights.

Twenty-two percent of people who have a TBI die from their injuries. The risk of having a TBI is especially high among adolescents, young adults, and people older than 75. For people of all ages, the risk of TBI among males is twice the risk among females. The leading causes of TBI are motor vehicle crashes, violence, and falls, many of which are not the fault of the victim. Falls are the leading cause of TBIs among people 65 and older, while vehicle accidents lead among those ages 5 to 64. These injuries can have severe repercussions, but by pursuing a brain injury lawsuit, NY victims can get compensation to help make their lives easier. The knowledgeable attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP have vast experience with all types of personal injury cases, including TBIs, and we can skillfully advocate for you.

A traumatic brain injury can greatly affect many cognitive, physical, and psychological skills. Physical deficits can include ambulation, balance, coordination, fine motor skills, strength, and endurance. Cognitive deficits of language and communication, information processing, memory, and perceptual skills are common. The victim’s psychological status is also often altered, not to mention the difficulty of adjusting to life with a TBI and the disabilities that can accompany it. Our experienced brain injury attorneys in New York can assist you in getting needed compensation to lessen the burdens of your TBI.

Because the majority of traumatic brain injuries are caused by accidents, many innocent people unnecessarily suffer because of the carelessness of others. And all of these effects can necessitate costly health care, causing financial hardships. The economic burden of treating these injuries is between $9 billion and $10 billion per year, and it’s estimated that people suffering from a severe traumatic brain injury may incur between $600,000 and $1.9 million in long-term rehabilitative care costs. When you’re working to recover from a TBI, the financial hardship of medical costs further adds to your burden, but when you work with capable brain injury attorneys in New York, we can help to lighten the load. We’ll fight hard to get you compensation that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and other economic and non-economic damages.
