Brain Injury Lawyer

Last week, I wrote about the large number of previously undisclosed traumatic brain injuries being suffered by our troops in Iraq.  Department of Veteran’s Affairs officials have announced that all Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans receiving veterans’ medical care will be screened for hidden traumatic brain injuries beginning this spring.  The DVA also announced that they are creating a panel of outside experts to review how the VA detects and treats brain injuries that may not be readily apparent.

Looking for a silver lining in a dark cloud, maybe these unfortunate events will help people to understand that one can sustain a brain injury without loss of consciousness and with no visible sign of injury.
