There’s an illness affecting a billion people worldwide, invisible to the eye, chronically attacking without warning. No, this isn’t the future in a science-fiction film: it’s June 2022. And while the start of summer isn’t likely to be a month that people overlook, there’s one aspect of June that’s little known and could affect the health (and wealth) of you and your family.
For the past decade, June has been officially commemorated as Migraine & Headache Awareness Month (MHAM), designated to bring attention to the headache disorders and migraine diseases that plague people around the world.
The Painful Reality
40 million Americans are living with migraine disease and headache disorders
Migraine disease is the 3rd most common illness in the world and the second most disabling
Those who experience chronic migraines have an average of 15 attacks per month

Since the injuries often necessitate technical procedures, treating damage to the brain can be extremely expensive and time-consuming. However, many people suffering headache-related symptoms sustained from an accident could be entitled to compensation (directly from an insurance provider or from other parties involved). In these cases, a specialized attorney can help secure the financial assistance that victims are due.
