The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year over 300,000 children (age 19 or younger) are treated in the U.S. for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or concussions while playing sports. Even more troublesome is the fact that between 2001 to 2012, the rate of emergency room visits for sports and recreation-related injuries that ended with a diagnosis of a concussion or TBI more than doubled amongst this same age group.

With April being Youth Sports Safety Month, now is the perfect time to remember the importance of injury prevention and safety for our children as they participate in the activities they love. Whether it’s a high impact sport like football or just a traditional family bike ride on Sunday afternoon, taking the necessary steps to prevent a catastrophic event can truly prevent serious lifelong disabilities or severe injuries.

Your New Orleans personal injury attorneys at Cardone Law Firm would like to remind parents of the important role they play in protecting their children and also offer a few tips to keep your athlete safe in April and the rest of the year.

truck-brakes-accident-300x200When a 80,000-pound semi-truck comes barreling down the road, it is absolutely vital that their braking system is well taken care of and properly functioning. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case and a bad braking system can lead to a devastating crash – or even death – for those of us driving in traditionally sized vehicles. In 2015, over 3,800 people died in large truck accidents. This was 22 percent higher than 2009.

At the Cardone Law Firm in New Orleans, our truck accident attorney has over 40 years of litigation experience dealing with personal injury and car accident cases involving 18-wheelers. Our team of trustworthy lawyers understands that quickly acquiring evidence and investigating before the negligent party is able to make any changes to the scene is the key to developing a case. It is also worth noting that in cases involving semi-truck accidents and malfunctioning brakes, multiple parties may be held liable for the damage you have suffered.

World Health Day is coming up on April 7th this year. At the Cardone Law Firm, we believe it is the perfect time to educate people about TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) as more and more people head outside to enjoy the warmer weather and participate in spring sports.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 2.8 million cases of TBIs are reported each year. This statistic is even more worrisome when you consider how many of that number are children. According to the CDC, the number of sports- and recreation-related injuries involving a TBI more than doubled from 2001 to 2012 among children ages 0-19.

If you or a loved one has been affected by a TBI, rest assured you don’t have to recover from it alone. The TBI lawyers at the Cardone Law Firm have the experience and resources to help you determine whether you are entitled to compensation for your injury.
