We have dealt with traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases for many years. Brain injuries are complex injuries.

Wednesday, a study published in the medical journal Neurology indicated professional football players are three times more likely than the general public to have neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and ALS. Players in speed positions like wide receivers and running backs were three times more likely to develop the diseases. Studies have linked concussions in football players to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative disease with Alzheimer’s like symptoms including memory loss, depression and mood swings.

These are the same symptoms we see in accident victims with brain injury. They often have a difficult recovery, far more difficult then recovering from physical injuries. They desperately proper diagnosis and quality medical care to optimize recovery.
