Yeah - I have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars already... not to mention that I was offered a more prestigious position at a renowned venue just a week after the accident I was in that my current employer was prepared to counter... AND I was going to apply to grad school - I would have a terminal degree by now.

The settlements I received and the insurance coverage of the guy who caused the accident was NO COMPENSATION compared to what I have lost.

But I'm very lucky that my family and friends, including my SO, came out of the wood work to help me out.

I'm broke but I'm not in debt. I was but that is gone now.

I can completely understand how an accident or injury could cause someone to declare bankruptcy or financial ruin.

I can understand how people can become homeless from an injury.

It makes perfect sense to me that statistics prove that a staggeringly high percentage of people who live on the streets are tbi survivors.

TBI seems like a poorly understood and mismanaged epidemic in our society.
