Brain injuries may affect victims physically, impairing their ability to walk, lift, or grip items. Some lose their vision or hearing. These impairments may prevent victims from returning to work, and greatly impact their quality of life. Some people may need ongoing nursing care for the remainder of their lives. Brain injuries also have cognitive effects that lead to disability. In the most serious cases, victims lose their independence, and cannot be left without supervision. Cognitive and occupational therapy may be necessary for anyone with a cognitive impairment. Emotional changes may also occur after a brain injury, leading to problems both at work and at home. Personal relationships often suffer. We consider all these impacts when estimating a value for your claim.
