A traumatic brain injury (TBI) isn’t just a medical event—it’s a life-altering condition that can bring long-term challenges, uncertainty, and financial strain. At Rowsey & Stelter, Attorneys at Law, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating TBIs can be, especially when they’re caused by someone else’s negligence. Whether it’s a car accident, a workplace injury, or a slip and fall, the impact of a brain injury can ripple through every part of a victim’s life—physically, emotionally, and financially. That’s why having an experienced legal team is crucial not just to secure compensation for immediate care, but to protect your future.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 214,000 TBI-related hospitalizations occurred in the U.S. in 2020, and more than 69,000 TBI-related deaths were reported in 2021. What’s often misunderstood about traumatic brain injuries is that the consequences don’t end after the hospital stay. Many TBI survivors face a lifetime of complications, including cognitive impairment, chronic pain, loss of independence, and the inability to return to work. Unfortunately, these long-term realities are often underestimated during the claims process—unless you have an attorney who knows how to plan for them.

TBIs Are Not a Short-Term Condition

Some mild TBIs, such as concussions, may resolve in weeks. But moderate to severe TBIs can result in prolonged or permanent impairments. These injuries can lead to:

• Memory loss and cognitive dysfunction
• Personality and behavioral changes
• Mobility issues and loss of coordination
• Seizures or sleep disturbances
• Depression, anxiety, or PTSD
• Speech or sensory deficits

Treatment may involve years of neurological care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support. Many families also need to hire caregivers or modify their home to accommodate the new reality. The long-term financial burden can be overwhelming, especially when the injured person is no longer able to work.

Why Legal Planning Matters

When a TBI is caused by another person’s negligence—whether it’s from a reckless driver, unsafe property conditions, or a workplace failure—you deserve full and fair compensation. But many insurance companies focus only on short-term medical costs. At Rowsey & Stelter, we take a much broader approach.

We work with medical experts, life care planners, and financial analysts to project the long-term costs associated with:

• Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
• Medications and assistive devices
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental health treatment
• Home modifications and in-home care

You shouldn’t have to pay out-of-pocket years from now for an injury you didn’t cause. Our firm is dedicated to ensuring your settlement or verdict reflects the full scope of your needs, not just what’s immediately visible.
