Overview Of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Advances in medical technology and improvements in regional trauma services have increased the number of survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI), producing the social consequences and medical challenges of a growing pool of people with disabilities. Wider awareness of the scope of the problem and its consequences for society has led to rapid growth in the rehabilitation industry. Because of this growth and particularly because clinical rehabilitation strategies vary widely, many groups are interested in the effectiveness of rehabilitation for TBI.
To address this need to identify and assess evidence on TBI rehabilitation, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) awarded a contract to Oregon Health Sciences University for a review of published reports and compilation of an evidence report. This summary highlights information presented in the full report.
There are remedies for accidents that cause brain damage.
If you or someone you know has suffered brain damage as a result of the negligent act of another, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. You need to contact an attorney in your state that handles brain damage cases as soon as possible.
