In our work as personal injury attorneys in Prince George's County, Maryland we regularly see crash victims who sustain concussions and sometimes are diagnosed as suffering from traumatic brain injuries or T.B.I..
Traumatic brain injury is defined as a trauma that disrupts brain function and is classified by its degree of severity. Diagnosing such an injury can be difficult as is treatment.
There are possible manifestations of TBI that are physical in nature such as difficulty with coordination, movement, dexterity and balance. There are also mood or emotive signs such as increased anxiety, depression and irritability. Finally and logically brain injuries can affect brain function such as memory and cognition.
The Centers for Disease Control report that TBI's killed more than 69,000 Americans in 2021.
As a consequence the state of Maryland along with numerous other states have created a state fund to assist victims of TBI. When you renew your registration in Maryland you can donate to the fund. For more go to: https://www.biamd.org/maryland-brain-injury-trust-fund.html
