NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Serious injuries occur everyday as a result of a number of types of accidents, leaving many victims to face a long battle on their road to recovery. Thousands of people sustain injuries from accidents each year that result in a physical loss of functioning over the course of months, years, or in some cases permanently. These injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injury

What is a traumatic brain injury?

"TBI, a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain… Half of all TBIs are due to transportation accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians."

As noted by the Life Care Solutions Group, when patients are injured and expected to have limited physical functioning as a result in the long term, the development of a life care plan can be essential for them to enjoy the best quality of life possible. A life care planning expert can assist patients in the development of these plans, which can also be used to help maximize recovery for a personal injury claim in the event that this type of legal action is warranted. Injured individuals may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses (short and long-term), pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages if their injuries resulted from negligence or misconduct by someone else.

Life care plans are designed to address specific areas of a patient's life that may be impacted by their injury. Experts are called on to help assess the individualized needs of patients and what is required for them in the recovery process if applicable. In cases where one's injuries leave them with a permanent disability, assessments are required for understanding what their maintenance needs are for living with the impairment they have.

The Life Care Solutions Group is available to help accident victims who need help with the development of life care plans for living with a serious injury. The resource is relied on by many for the assessment of available medical and legal options for those in these circumstances. Individuals can contact the group today for a free evaluation of their case.
