Every year TBI kills or disables more people aged 1-44 than any other cause. TBI cannot be cured. There are 5.3 million Americans living with permanent disabilities from TBI. Most TBIs are caused by careless conduct that may give the victim the legal right to sue for compensatory monetary damages.

Negligent drivers, negligent store, hotel or apartment owners; negligent employers who skimp on workplace safety; negligent office, home, or road contractors; and negligent school, daycare or playground operators, are some of the examples.

Victims of TBI caused by careless conduct should have access to the insurance purchased by those who harmed them to cover time off work, hospital and doctor bills, drug costs and therapy costs. Insurance can also pay for your pain and suffering and lost quality of life.
