Millions of people throughout the United States are involved in serious accidents each year. In a high percentage of these cases, victims sustain injuries that come with long-term challenges. Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputations are examples of the types of injuries that result from serious accidents and lead to long-term or permanent disability for hundreds of thousands of people annually.

Traumatic Brain Injury

“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States. Each year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. In 2010, 2.5 million TBIs occurred either as an isolated injury or along with other injuries.”

Injury-related disability and rehabilitation

Examples of injury-related impairments resulting in disabilities include:

· Physical and/or cognitive limitations due to neurotrauma

· Paralysis due to spinal cord trauma

· Partial or complete amputation of limbs

· Physical limb deformation resulting in mobility impairments

· Psychological trauma

· Sensory disability such as blindness and deafness

Rarely are individuals prepared to deal with the physical, emotional, and financial burdens that accompany a serious accident injury on their own. The only means that many who have sustained a debilitating injury due to the negligence or misconduct of someone else have for getting the medical care they need is to file a claim for damages against the responsible parties. These can be high cost personal injury claims that present challenges when it comes to obtaining a fair assessment of what is just compensation for a case.

According to the Life Care Solutions Group, a life care plan can be a lifeline for accident victims with high cost injury claims, providing support for calculating the costs of their medical expenses and other lifestyle needs following an accident. These types of plans help support victims by providing a professionally prepared assessment that courts can take into consideration when determining what is a fair award in high cost injury claims. Catastrophic injury life care plans may include expert prepared medical assessments, and other evaluations related to the current and future needs of patients.

The Life Care Solutions Group is available for individuals who have questions about life care planning after an accident injury. The resource can provide a free assessment for specific catastrophic injury cases to those who contact them today.
