Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury is a common but devastating injury.  It often occurs after severe car or truck accidents, or other severe trauma to the brain.

A child with a traumatic brain injury, sometimes known by TBI, will have medical bills which need to be paid, and may need home health care, attendant care, special support for the family and may need special rehabilitation.  This includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and vocational rehabilitation.  Traumatic brain injury, TBI or any form of brain damage in a child can place a family under tremendous stress - both financial stress from medical bills and emotional stress from taking care of the child 24 hours a day.

Unpaid medical bills may be mounting on your family's stack of mail and bills, and the child with traumatic brain injury or other form of brain damage may need around the clock home nursing care to keep clean, healthy and as happy as possible.  The parents or guardians of the child with the injured brain, or other family members who take care of a child with damage to the brain, may need a break from caring for the injured child.  This is known as respite care.  Where can a parent or guardian turn if they need help with medical bills?  If they need help taking care of the child with a traumatic brain injury or brain damage?  If they need to get some respite care?

Christopher Keane, a California personal injury lawyer and attorney for children with traumatic brain damage, brain injuries, TBI and other forms of brain damage and his law firm will help a child get his or her medical bills paid, and get attendant and respite care for the family.
