Facing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be an extreme hardship for accident victims and their families just in terms of focusing solely on the physical aspect of healing. When other needs are factored in, such as the need for financial support, lifestyle accommodations and more, fears about how one will manage their future can become overwhelming. The Life Care Solutions Group says the development of a life care plan for those who have sustained a traumatic brain injury from a car accident or other serious accident can be their saving grace under these circumstances.
What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can range from a mild concussion to a severe head injury. It is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain. This can cause bruising, swelling, or tearing of brain tissue.

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. Every year, at least 1.7 million TBIs occur either as an isolated injury or along with other injuries.

Brain damage caused by an accident often requires long-term treatment and rehabilitative efforts including:
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Medicine to treat the onset of concurrent conditions such as chronic pain, depression, and chronic sleep problems
• Therapy to improve cognitive functioning
With a life care plan these and other needs are fully assessed by professionals including physicians who specialize in treating patients with serious head injuries. Accident injury victims left with a traumatic brain injury can use these plans as a guide to effectively move forward, and also to assess the cost of damages in the event that they are seeking to file personal injury claims against those responsible for their injury.
Individuals who have sustained serious head trauma in an accident, or their loved ones, can contact the Life Care Solutions Group today for more information on how to receive life care planning support for a traumatic brain injury. The resource can also help one assess their medical and legal options in these cases.
