A brain or head injury can result in a lifetime of medical treatment and rehabilitation. The entire family is impacted, as around-the-clock medical care at home or institutionalized treatment may be needed.
A serious brain injury can result from a various type of negligent medical acts. If you or a family member has been a victim of a brain injury, some of the signs that may appear include the following:

Many questions about the future come up—including questions about the future of the child’s medical condition, medical expenses, and much more.
