The Long-Term Effects of Brain Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury

A brain injury is not just a temporary setback-it can change every part of a person’s life. From memory problems to emotional struggles, the long-term effects of a brain injury can be devastating for victims and their families. At Kelleher Law, we represent brain injury victims in Naples and Fort Myers, Florida, as well as Roswell, Georgia, helping them secure the compensation they need to face the future.

How Brain Injuries Can Affect Daily Life

Even after the initial recovery, many brain injury victims experience challenges that never fully go away. These include:

  • Cognitive issues: trouble with memory, concentration, or decision-making
  • Behavioral changes: mood swings, irritability, or personality changes
  • Physical symptoms: headaches, dizziness, or difficulty with coordination
  • Speech and communication problems: difficulty finding words or processing language
  • Emotional struggles: depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

The Financial Impact of a Brain Injury

The costs of living with a brain injury often extend far beyond initial hospital bills. Families may face:

  • Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential
  • Long-term care or in-home assistance
  • Counseling or therapy for emotional recovery
  • Home modifications and assistive devices

A brain injury can place an enormous financial burden on families-one they shouldn’t have to shoulder alone if someone else’s negligence caused the injury.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

  • Long-term brain injuries often stem from:
  • Car and motorcycle accidents
  • Trucking collisions
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Sports or recreational injuries
  • Violent assaults

Why Legal Help Is Essential

Insurance companies often downplay brain injury claims because symptoms can be “invisible” or subjective. At Kelleher Law, we:

  • Work with neurologists and medical experts to document long-term impacts
  • Calculate the full financial cost of ongoing care
  • Handle insurance negotiations to prevent lowball offers
  • Take cases to trial if necessary to fight for full compensation
