Teens often require continued care after a brain injury

In our previous post, we discussed how there seems to be a connection between teenagers who drink energy drinks and traumatic brain injuries. That post touched on how teens who suffer TBIs often have a variety of effects from the injury. Dealing with those effects often means that the teen needs continued care long after the TBI.

In some cases, teens will have difficulties in school after an acquired brain injury. This will lead some teens to need special help in school. The amount of help and the type of help depends on the severity and location of the injury the teen suffered. Some teens might need help with activities outside of school, which can put a strain on the finances of the teen’s parents.

We know that you don’t want to think about how your teen’s TBI is affecting the family’s finances, but the financial effects can easily become crippling as time progresses. If your teen was injured in an accident that was because of the negligence of another party, you might opt to explore your options for seeking compensation for the injuries. We can help you to learn about your options and determine which option you would like to pursue.

If your teen suffered a head injury, getting medical attention is the first thing you should do. From there, you can decide what you want to do. We can help you with your legal case while you help your teen to work on the rehabilitation program. You don’t have to try to do everything on your own after the accident.
