Some personal injury attorneys in Rhode Island have an unfortunate first-hand awareness of brain injury. If a client suffers a slip and fall or car accident, there is the frightening chance that brain injury could result.
In the United States, nearly 1.6 million people a year suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI). According to the Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island (BIARI), statistics show that a brain injury occurs every hour in Rhode Island. The highest risk groups include adolescents, young adults and the elderly.
The Bottaro Law Firm, LLC is proud to support the Brain Injury Association of RI
- It helps increase awareness of brain injury and its consequences
- Fosters education about brain injury prevention
- Improves quality of life for people affected by brain injury
Knowledgeable staff at the BIARI is available to suggest materials through its lending library, brain injury resource guides, information about regional rehabilitation opportunities, and referrals to neurologists, therapists and attorneys. They also offer brain injury in-service training for professional and ministry groups.
The organization offers support groups which allow persons with brain injury and family members to meet with others in similar situations, obtain emotional support and friendships, get information and resources, and hear speakers discuss a variety of brain injury topics.
BIARI provides advocacy training for individuals with brain injury or other disabilities, family members and professionals at healthcare facilities or ministry organizations free of charge.
The consequences of a brain injury can range from limited use of a specific part of the body to altered personality and/or mental abilities. Symptoms of brain injury may be immediate in some cases, but in others they may not present for days or weeks after the injury. The Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island educates and empowers caregivers and survivors of traumatic brain injuries and helps them understand TBI.
