With a Houston brain injury lawyer your case will be prepared and presented as soon as possible, giving you peace of mind. Historically, even with the highly inaccurate and passé criteria required for past diagnoses, the rates of TBI were still as high as 10 out of 175 patients, and only ever went as low as 10 out of every 600 patients. The difficulty in trying to accurately define traumatic brain injuries has been addresses in more recent studies (1981-present). In particular, these studies have been less concerned with the problems that arise as a result of hospital discharge codes. Many of these studies are more accurate, but they nonetheless clearly show the frighteningly high rate of TBI. According to these more recent studies, the annual rate of head injuries treated in the United States is around 400 patients out of a pool of 100,000. To that end, more than 1,000,000 head injury cases are being treated per year in hospitals. What is especially frightening however is that many “mild” cases of traumatic brain injury are still ignored, as the patient is not necessarily hospitalized. Whether obvious or difficult to assess, a Houston brain injury lawyer can present your brain injury case in a professional and successful manner.
