Lexington Brain Injury Attorney

Helping the Injured Seek Fair Compensation

A brain injury is one of the most serious injuries that a person can face. Causing a number of cognitive, physical, and emotional changes, a brain injury can have a life-changing effect on a person’s ability to relate to people, work, care for themselves, and enjoy a good quality of life. On top of these difficulties, the financial burden of a brain injury can take a huge toll on a victim and his or her family, as the cost of hospital and medical bills, therapy, and professional care can be substantial.

Brain injuries commonly result from:

• Car accidents
• Slip/trip and fall accidents
• Assaults
• Construction accidents
• Sports injuries

When a brain injury is caused by the negligence of another, the victim may be entitled to compensation from the person or entity at fault. If you or a loved one has been injured, contact a Lexington brain injury lawyer at Goeing Goeing & McQuinn PLLC to discuss your legal options.

The Cost of Living with a Brain Injury

Brain injury is one of the leading causes of death and permanent disability in the U.S., affecting approximately 2.5 million people each year. Brain injuries, even when classified as “mild,” are still very serious injuries that require attentive medical evaluation and care. Because a brain injury can result in a wide array of health issues, the cost of this care can be very steep and potentially persist for the rest of the victim’s life.

While the cost of living with a brain injury long-term varies depending on the severity of the injury, the estimated cost of treating someone with a traumatic brain injury is between $600,000 and $1,875,000 over a lifetime, but costs can reach as high as $3 million or more in many cases.

TBI victims may incur costs for:

• Long-term care facilities
• Professional caregivers
• Wheelchairs and other special devices
• Physical therapy
• Prescription medication
• Mental health care
• Loss of income

Without sufficient compensation, bills for these needs can threaten a victim’s financial security and place undue burdens on family and friends. Victims should not have to pay the cost of an accident that was not their fault!
