The month of March is recognized as Brain Injury Awareness Month by The Brain Injury Association. Brain Injury Attorneys California hope to bring you a great deal of information this month to help spread the message about traumatic brain injury and how brain injuries impact so many lives.

Brain Injuries range from a wide spectrum of injuries and life long management:

* Birth Injuries can result in brain damage, forever changing the life of the infant and the child’s entire family.

* Brain Injuries can result in childhood from sports injuries, sometimes going undected for years. Our local soccer league will do a brief test of any kids who have fallen or collided as it is very simple for what seems to be as very minor collision or injury to result in a concussion or worse. Of course, this extends well into adulthood as we have seen professional athletes manage their careers when they have brain injuries, and how they can be career-ending.

* Brain Injuries can be the result of a variety of personal injuries including bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, car accidents, even slips and falls.

* Brain Injuries can be the result of medical malpractice.

* Brain Injuries can be the result of injuries on the battlefield, as we are finding with injuried soldiers coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you, or a loved one, has suffered a brain injury, you may have legal rights to receive compensation, medical payments and more. You should contact a brain injury attorney in your area for more information and potential legal representation.

If you would like to share your story with our readers, please feel free to leave a comment and we will contact you. We welcome stories from brain injured readers who can help others relate to their experience. We welcome information from the families of brain injuried children, adults, soldiers, to help give these families perspective on what they may experience and what they need to expect from doctors, the legal system, etc. And, of course, we welcome the perspective of any brain injury attorneys who can help to inform and educate brain injury survivors and their families.
