Richmond Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Applaud White House Research Initiative Targeting Veterans’ Health Issues

The Virginia personal injury firm of Marks
& Harrison says ‘Joining Forces’ initiative will benefit
veterans as well as civilians suffering from TBI, PTSD and
other disabilities.

Richmond,
VA (PRWEB) January 28, 2012

The Richmond traumatic brain injury
attorneys^[1] of Marks
& Harrison today released a statement in support of a White
House initiative to expand the study of military veterans’ health
care issues, like traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress
disorder, at the nation’s medical schools.

Marks & Harrison, a Virginia personal
injury firm^[2] that
focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases, said
First Lady
Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden’s Joining Forces
initiative will provide needed medical support to 800,000
veterans who call Virginia home.

The Joining Forces initiative unites the Association of
American Medical Colleges and the American Association of
Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine with 130 schools and medical
research facilities “to leverage their missions in education,
research and clinical care to train the nation’s physicians to
meet the unique health care needs of the military and veterans’
communities,” a White House
statement^[3] said.

Obama and Biden announced the program at Virginia Commonwealth
University earlier this month.

“The advances in treatment and understanding of traumatic brain
injury and post-traumatic stress disorder that are sure to come
from the Joining Forces initiative will move medical science
forward just as America has led the world in so many ways for
more than 200 years,” the Marks & Harrison statement said.

“We look forward to disabled veterans across Virginia and the
rest of our country reaping the benefits of research that will
one day mitigate, reverse or cure many disabilities.”

The Marks & Harrison law firm’s brain injury attorneys
understand the complexities of the health issues faced by
veterans suffering TBI and PTSD. The firm’s lawyers are also
experienced in successfully helping veterans file disability
claims and obtain benefits.

“While the Joining Forces initiative rightly focuses on
veterans’ disability issues, its benefits will also extend to
civilians who suffer from TBI and PTSD because of accidents,
crime or other traumas,” the Marks & Harrison statement
noted.

Veterans in need of assistance with veterans’ disability
benefits claims^[4] for TBI,
PTSD or other disabilities, or civilians who suffer from
traumatic brain injury, can contact a Marks & Harrison
attorney in Richmond or seven other Virginia locations for
free, no-obligation and confidential consultations about the
legal options available to them.
