Traumatic Brain Injury and Coma

When a person is in a coma, they have entered a prolonged state of unconsciousness. People exhibit very little brain activity during a coma, and in many ways, drift between life and death. While this may resemble sleep, there is a very important difference between the two: people cannot simply be woken up from a coma the way they can from sleep.

Often, a coma is the result of a traumatic brain injury. The patient’s chances of recovery from a coma may vary depending on the severity of the brain injury.

If your loved one is in a coma, you are most likely facing serious financial burdens. Medical bills can pile up quickly due to lengthy hospital stays and the ongoing treatment required of coma patients. Without financial assistance, this can become crippling to your family.

When your loved one’s traumatic brain injury and coma are caused by the negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages.
