The Massive Expense of Suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries can be emotionally and financially devastating to the victim and their loved ones. Much of a person's identity is wrapped up in their personality and their physical ability to do the things they love. Both of these driving forces could be dramatically impacted by a traumatic brain injury. In addition, the victim and their family could be responsible for significant medical bills that accompany the treatment of such a severe injury.
Many people assume that their health insurance will simply pick up the tab regarding the injury; however, this does not mean there will not be significant money the victim will owe due to high deductibles or other health insurance limits (in addition to a health insurance plan's subrogation rights) that could still place a family in dire financial straits. Furthermore, many physicians refuse to treat injury victims regardless of whether they have health insurance. What makes a traumatic brain injury potentially so expensive?
An Overview of what can be Claimed After a Car Accident
Unfortunately, car accidents are a reality of the road. There are numerous conditions that can contribute to a car accident. Sometimes, the weather becomes so bad that drivers cannot see the car in front of them. Other times, negligent drivers or drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol can cause serious multi-car pileups.
Regardless of the circumstances, all car accidents have the potential to lead to serious medical injuries. These bills can place individuals and families under severe financial stress, particularly if the patient requires an intensive care stay or a surgical procedure. Sometimes, there are legal routes for financial relief. What kinds of damages can be claimed after car accidents occur?
The Potential for Lost Wages
When people are seriously injured in a car accident, they may be forced to miss time at work. While some employers might be understanding given the circumstances, other employers may force their employee to use up their vacation time and sick days. Once these have been exhausted, the injured party may start losing pay. Someone who is injured in a car accident may be able to seek damages equal to the amount of wages lost during their recovery period. Nobody should deserve to lose their income due to injury. This is a common reason for damages claimed in car accident cases.
