Brain and other injuries can be sustained by anyone due to the carelessness of another person, which may be cause for the victim to seek compensation in a personal injury case. If you are one such victim, learn what you could do today.
When people hear of soldiers acting erratically or lashing out violently because of minor things, they may automatically think “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” (PTSD). But what they may not know is that a huge number of soldiers are involved in accidents every year that cause injury to the brain, resulting in traumatic brain injury (TBI). In 2011 alone 23,633 soldiers were diagnosed with TBI. In essence, these injuries are bad concussions or penetrations to the head that result in brain injury and they cause symptoms similar to PTSD, such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and low stress tolerance. To help treat soldiers who have suffered such injuries and get them back into the field, or at least back to living a normal life, the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in Fort Hood, TX has a TBI clinic that offers screenings, therapy, and rehab for soldiers who have suffered TBI.
