The long-term costs of brain injuries vary depending on the severity and classification of the trauma:

  1. Mild Brain Injuries. While classified as mild, these injuries cause a variety of symptoms that can last several months. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, poor concentration, ringing in the ears, and sensitivity to light and loud noise. It is estimated that long-term medical costs for mild brain injuries is around $95,000.
  2. Moderate Brain Injuries. These injuries are classified by a loss of consciousness between 20 minutes and 6 hours. Symptoms include physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairment. While some symptoms last only a few months, others can last for years. Permanent cognitive and behavioral impairments, such as personality changes and memory loss, are also possible. For moderate brain injuries, the cost for long-term treatment and care is estimated at more than $940,000.
  3. Severe Brain Injuries. Severe brain injuries are classified as a loss of consciousness for more than 6 hours. Symptoms of severe brain injuries include coma, minimally responsive state, and vegetative state. These injuries can permanently affect emotion, cognitive function, sensation, and motor function. While the cost varies for each patient, it is estimated that long-term medical treatment and care for a severe brain injury can cost around $3 million.
