What to do first?

You face a maze of urgent, complicated, and time-consuming medical, insurance, financial, legal, family, and personal issues. You have so many questions and you’re not sure where to turn for help. This book—which is based upon the experiences of hundreds of people living with a brain injury, their families, and the medical professionals who treat them—will answer many of your questions. It will teach you:

• The basics of brain injury and the recovery and rehabilitation processes
• The wide range of impairments caused by a brain injury
• Ways to make this stressful and exhausting time easier for you and your family
• What you need to know about health insurance and disability pay
• How a case manager and an attorney can help you
• The factors that influence how well someone recovers from a brain injury
• How to access the wide range of resources available to the families of brain injury survivors

“A brain injury is a devastating, life-altering experience for the patient and the family. As a trauma surgeon for the last thirty years, I see distraught families desperate for comprehensive and easy-to-read information about what the future holds. Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury answers most of their questions in a compassionate and thorough manner. This book is a must read for everyone who wants to confront, understand, and overcome the challenges of living with a brain injury.”
