Bankruptcy after TBI or SCI
A report today revealed that the risk of Bankruptcy increases 33% after brain or spinal injury. Interestingly, the severity of the injury is not a predicator since more severe injuries involve a safety net of income in the form of disability or other provisions. The less severe injuries that do not have such safety net are more likely to fall to bankruptcy protection. This supports an article I wrote which was published in Commuique, a Nevada Legal legal publication.
In the article I explain the specific difficulties confronting lawyers when their clients file bankruptcy. The loss of income and earning capacity that results in these cases can be staggering. But the issues surrounding the client's rights being passed on to a trustee who manages the assets is disquieting. It makes the process very difficult indeed.
