As we all know, car accidents can cause severe injuries to all people in every vehicle involved. The impact of the crash can cause the head and neck area to whip around violently, which can cause blunt force trauma to the head and neck. This force can cause serious brain injury. Unfortunately, brain trauma is a common outcome of a severe car accident. According to statistics, roughly 34% of brain trauma injuries are due to car accidents and collisions. Medical treatment for these types of injuries can be extremely costly. Brain surgery is very expensive and the amount of money necessary to properly care for someone with severe brain trauma can be staggering.
Brain injuries are also costly on the human side. People are never the same after a brain injury. Those who live with the person with the brain also suffer because many times brain injuries cause the victim to become irritable, confused and unable to do even simple tasks.
Many brain injuries go undiagnosed. If you suspect you or a loved one seems “different” after an accident that was caused by the carelessness or negligence of another, contact an experienced Idaho personal injury attorney who can help refer you to doctors that diagnose and treat brain injuries.
Thankfully, there are ways to recover financial compensation for the damages done. If the other motorist is at fault in a car accident, you may be able to file a personal injury suit against them. When you or a close family member suffers severe brain trauma and is in need of legal assistance in order to recover damages, Racine Olson is the first and last place you will need to look.
