Brain Injuries
A brain injury occurs when sudden trauma to the head disrupts the
function of the brain. The unfortunate truth is that the most
common reason for a brain injury is a traffic collision such as a car,
truck, or motorcycle accident.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.4 million
people in the United States sustain a brain injury each year and 50,000
of those cases end in death. It is estimated that more than 5.3
million people with brain injuries need long-term or lifelong help to
carry out their daily activities.
The right to bring a legal action is especially important if you have a
brain injury, which can result in immense medical bills, years of
rehabilitation expenses and the loss of a steady income. If you have
suffered a serious brain injury as the result of another person's
recklessness or careless behavior, Arizona law says that you have the
right to hold that person responsible for your injuries.
