Cleveland Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Ohio TBI Attorney
The attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., represent people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, including those caused by vehicle collisions and preventable falls in nursing homes and hospitals.
What Is Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when the head is struck with so much force, it causes disruption in brain function. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) range from mild concussions to injuries causing coma and death.
What Causes Traumatic Brain Injury?
Falls, motor vehicle accidents, being struck by or against an object and assaults are the most common causes of TBI for civilians, according to the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA).
An Epidemic of Brain Injury: More than 1 million people are taken to emergency rooms for a brain injury each year. Of that number, about 50,000 die and 80,000 are left with permanent disabilities, according to the BIAA. The incidences of deaths from brain injuries far outpace those associated with diseases such as breast cancer and HIV/AIDS.
For those who survive, brain injury can cause serious and permanent physical, emotional, behavioral and cognitive impairments. The cost of living with a brain injury can easily exceed a million dollars.
