March might be coming to a close, but there is still time to take part in National Brain Injury Awareness Month. Keep reading to learn what this is all about, and then contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 if you have suffered a head injury and require a free legal consultation.
Learn More About TBIs
One of the best things you can do during this awareness month is to learn more about TBIs. Learn about the injuries themselves, the ways they can be treated, and the recovery process. Get answers to any questions you have about TBIs so that if you or a loved one suffers from one, you will know what to expect.
Look for Local Speakers
Every state is holding speaking engagements about brain injury. However, due to the pandemic, most of them are being held online. This allows you to find one that is most interesting to you and sign up to attend, even if it is all the way across the country. Some of these are people who have experienced a TBI talking about their lives, while others are physicians and brain scientists talking about these types of injuries.
Post Your Support on Social Media
If you did not know about this awareness month until now, you could expect that others did not know either. Share information on social media. If you have a family member or friend who has suffered from a brain injury, share their story. Sharing personal stories can be important, and sharing the challenges they have faced, the treatment they have received, and any support groups they have joined can be very helpful.
Donate Time or Money to a TBI Organization
If possible, donate to an organization that is working on brain injury research or treatment. Make sure you are donating to a reputable non-profit by checking their reputation. If you do not have the money to invest, find out if they can use volunteer help. You could alternatively start a fundraiser to raise money for the cause.
Work with a Health Care Agency
There are many health care agencies working with people who have suffered TBIs. Many of these types of agencies are always in need of volunteers. You might drive people to and from appointments, help with social activities, or do paperwork. Some agencies even have ways you can help online.
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney if You Have Suffered a TBI
If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, then it is important that you get not only medical help but legal help as well. You can contact a personal injury attorney by calling Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 at your convenience. We are here to offer a free legal consultation.
