Many of our clients have suffered a permanent brain injury as a result of misdiagnosis or late diagnosis of a medical condition by their treating physicians or other health care provider, or as a result of complications during a surgical procedure.
Recovering from a brain injury and reestablishing a good quality of life is a challenging and often lifelong process. One of the critical aspects of success is finding support from the various organizations located in your community.
