Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is severe damage to the brain that can be caused by any head injury. Damage to the brain can affect a person both psychologically and physiologically. The brain is the body’s command center and affects every system in the body. TBI is often difficult to detect and the long-term effects are often not noticeable until much later after an accident. Seeking medical attention immediately after any head injury, even if the injury seems minor, is critical. It’s also very important to monitor a person’s behavior carefully for several weeks after a head injury of any kind.
Here’s an excerpt from Insider Secrets to Winning Your Personal Injury Battle by Albert Stark about Rosa and Barbara’s story and the tragic effects of TBI:
Rosa was dead. Barbara was in a coma. Anthony Rosati—Rosa’s father—was a union plumber. “Carbon monoxide poisoning from the gas heater,” he said, in my office, killed his daughter. “The gas company that supplied fuel for the heater. If they had inspected the heater, they would have seen a yellow flame and known something was wrong.” He slammed his fist on my desk and exclaimed, “Why didn’t they put something in the gas to make it smell bad? That’s supposed to be in the gas to warn people of a gas leak. Who was responsible for providing heat? I want answers.”
Traumatic brain injuries kill. And maim. Rosa and Barbara’s story teaches about the compensation one can seek for a person who life is lost and the compensation one can seek for pain and suffering, loss of ability to work, medical expenses, and life care needs. You will learn what it takes to sue for a defective product and a landlord who did not properly maintain its premises.
Barbara’s experience shows the most up-to-date methods of caring for a traumatic brain injury. Barbara tells what it took for her to go home, to live with her parents and what it took to leave. She is candid about her failures and successes.
