Bodily Injury Repercussions
For accident victims, losses are both tangible and intangible, as well as physical and emotional. They can affect your family, career, and finances.
The most devastating types of injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and loss of a body part or sensory function. These injuries are overwhelming for the victim and their family, who must often reconcile a combination of lost wages with significant healthcare expenses.
Traumatic brain injuries can be especially difficult for both victims and their family members. Brain injury victims may have trouble walking, communicating, or managing self-care.
