While many people believe brain injuries are very uncommon, the numbers tell a much different story. Based on figures compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries occur annually in the United States. Of those who are injured, 25 percent suffer injuries extensive enough to result in long-term disabilities. And to make matters worse, many doctors are slow to realize the seriousness of the injuries sustained by their patients.
As a result, the victims often endure far more difficult circumstances than they would otherwise. When this is the case, we at Jack Bernstein, Injury Attorneys are prepared to go to work immediately in order to right this terrible wrong. We will look at the circumstances that led up to the accident, gather all the facts of the case, and then proceed to make sure those who are responsible pay for their actions.
