Brain Injuries Cause Lifelong Suffering
Brain Injuries cause lifelong suffering—including cognitive deficiencies, physical limitations, and even personality changes. Due to the complex nature of Brain Injuries, it can be difficult to determine the full extent of your damages. In many instances, the injured person does not even realize the extent of their injuries and suffering.
One of the biggest mistakes a Brain Injury victim can make is assuming that they are only entitled to recover past medical bills. Even settlement offers from the at-fault party that include past medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages are insufficient!
The truth is, the Brain Injury Attorneys at Bellum Law Group will take into consideration not only your past or current damages but also your long-term damages. While treatment for Brain Injuries have come a long way in the last few decades, there are still many costly complications that may arise.
The Brain Injury Attorneys at Bellum Law Group will secure a settlement that considers any complications and lifelong treatment. If you or a loved one has suffered from a Brain Injury, call (888) 223-5586.
The True Lifetime Cost of a Brain Injury
While every case is different, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) has determined that a person who survives a severe traumatic brain injury will require approximately $4 million for medical treatment and expenses.
If the Brain Injury victim requires rehabilitation services, they can expect their costs to be 10 times that of a person who does not need rehabilitation. In fact, the average cost for a single day of Brain Injury rehabilitation in a hospital is $8,000. A residential rehabilitation center can cost up to $2,500 per day. And, an outpatient rehabilitation service can cost as much as $1,000 per day.
