As a personal injury lawyer, I've seen firsthand the
devastating impact brain injuries can have on individuals and their
families.
After a brain injury, individuals often experience a wide range
of physical and cognitive symptoms that significantly alter their
ability to function at work, in the community, and at home.
CATASTROPHIC CHANGES
Given the catastrophic changes to individuals' lives in the
aftermath of an injury, they often develop mental health issues
such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress
disorder.
A common misconception is that it takes many months for these
mental health issues to develop; however, the onset of these
symptoms may be immediate as individuals come to understand the
trauma they have experienced, the losses they have endured, and the
lengthy road of recovery that is before them.
