Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are a common injury suffered by combat veterans and others on military deployment. From a mild concussion to a severe brain injury that permanently impacts your cognitive abilities, a TBI can impact all areas of your life. If you are part of the nearly 20% of Afghanistan, Iraq, or other veterans who suffered a TBI, you are likely eligible for disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
At Glover Luck LLP, we represent veterans pursuing disability benefits involving a TBI. Treatment for brain injuries can be lengthy, and many people may require assistance for the rest of their lives. Trust our Fort Worth, TX VA TBI lawyer to help you appeal VA decisions and resolve your claim successfully.
How Can A Fort Worth VA TBI Lawyer Help?
A lawyer can help prepare your claim and advise you on what you must prove to obtain TBI disability benefits:
- You must have proof of an honorable discharge
- You must prove that your injury is debilitating
- You must show that your injury happened while in the line of duty
- The injury was not caused by drug or alcohol abuse or willful misconduct
A lawyer can help you gather evidence that proves all of this and demonstrate that the injury is service-connected. Due to your brain injury, you may not be able to secure gainful employment or require accommodations in a nursing home or memory care facility. We can help you find benefits to help cover these costs.
Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Affect The Rest Of Your Life
A brain injury usually results from a sudden impact to the head or from concussive force. A fall, vehicle collision, explosive device, or blow to the head often causes a TBI. The symptoms of a TBI may persist for months or even years, and the success of TBI treatment is uncertain – it depends on the individual and the extent of the brain damage.
The VA recognizes the impact of a TBI on veterans’ lives, especially if the injury has a comorbidity with PTSD. You may suffer headaches, memory loss, permanent personality changes, and trouble with cognitive tasks. The benefits you receive from the VA can help cover the cost of treatment and in-home care or treatment in a special care facility. We can help you secure everything you’re entitled to claim.
