We Can HelpWhat are Brain Injuries?
Brain injuries can lead to some of the most life altering consequences. In a moment’s notice someone can seem like an entirely different person. It can be one of the hardest injuries to deal with, but in many cases it is preventable. Auto injuries, concussions, poor medical care, chemical exposures and more are all potential causes of brain injury that can leave a person and his or her family devastated.
Caring for someone with a brain injury can take an enormous toll on family members. Sometimes they need additional support from a professional caregiver. Having all this to deal with is a daunting task and makes it difficult to bring the responsible parties to justice.
