Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Jacksonville
The symptoms of concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) more often fall into the difficult area of subtle but life-altering mental impairment. TBIs are caused by a bump or blow to the head that disrupts the way the brain normally works. In the United States, at least 1.4 million people die or are treated in a hospital or emergency department with a TBI each year. Of those, 75 to 90 percent are categorized as mild TBIs.
TBIs can happen to anyone and sometimes it's difficult to know if someone has actually been hurt, as the symptoms often are not physically apparent on the scanning and diagnostic equipment currently available to medical doctors. Many TBIs are not treated and CDC experts estimate that 1.6 to 3.8 million people sustain TBIs each year in the U.S.
The effect on one's ability to live and enjoy life following even a mild traumatic brain injury can be devastating both economically and socially. It is in the difficult challenge of explaining the anatomic, medical, and psychological aspects of TBI where the experience of Harrell & Harrell's attorneys have the greatest impact.
