Brain Injuries
Nearly 50,000 people sustain brain injuries every year in the U.S. Traumatic brain injuries are typically caused by an impact or a jolt to the head. Penetrating injuries can also lead to brain trauma. When the brain sustains a traumatic injury, it will experience a disruption in normal function. Traumatic brain injuries range in severity from mild to severe. A sufferer of a mild brain injury may experience temporary unconsciousness or a brief change in mental status. Severe brain injuries are more serious and often involve extended periods of unconsciousness or amnesia.
Brain Injury Complications
The causes of brain injuries differ. Auto accidents, falls, assaults, and work injuries are the more common causes, and are often times due to another person’s negligence. Brain injuries can present various complications, such as:
- personality changes
- memory loss (short term and long term)
- inability to live normally on a daily basis
- mood swings
- sensitivity to light or noise
- headaches
- immobility
Brain injury sufferers and their families do not only have to deal with physical complications. There are an abundance of other complications that are mental and emotional in nature. Brain injuries are mentally and emotionally exhausting because they demand constant attention and long-term care. Financially, most sufferers and their families are not equipped with the economic resources to pay for lifelong doctor visits, physical therapy, medical devices, or medications.
