Effects of Brain Injuries

Coping With Brain Injury

The effects of a brain injury can last a lifetime. People who have suffered such injuries can experience changes in their physical, cognitive, and emotional states. These changes affect the individuals suffering from brain injuries as well as their friends and families. A brain injury may require large sums of money to pay for long-term care, physical therapy, psychological counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and to make up for losses of quality of life.

At The Helmy Law Firm, we help people who have suffered brain damage and their families obtain the resources they need to successfully deal with their new realities and move on with their lives.

Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury

The effects of brain injury can be very complex. Because no two cases are the same, the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) vary on a case by case basis. Some of the effects an injured person may experience include:

• Physical problems such as speech difficulties, sensory problems, and seizures
• Cognitive problems such as memory loss, communications difficulties, slowdown in thinking speed, inattention, and impaired judgment and problem-solving skills
• Emotional problems such as mood swings, depression, anger, and inappropriate behavior

Helping People Reclaim Their Lives

For the person who suffers a traumatic brain injury, rehabilitation can come slowly, if at all. But these individuals should not give up hope. In recent years, great medical progress has been made in identifying the complex effects of severe brain injury and in treatment and rehabilitation techniques.

At The Helmy Law Firm, we help people who have sustained brain injuries reclaim their lives. We work to obtain the resources they need to make their lives more comfortable, including resources for long term care planning, psychological counseling, physical therapy, and vocational rehabilitation.

Coping with brain injury is not easy, either for injured individuals or their families. When you come to The Helmy Law Firm, you will meet an attorney who is committed to helping people who have suffered brain injuries recover the compensation and quality of life they deserve.
