Maryland Rejects Brain Injury Fund

Posted on March 31, 2005 by David Austin

The idea was to mirror Virginia and Florida. In these states the state basically runs a fund that provides some level of care for brain injured children. Maryland legislators have apparently decided not to pursue this idea.

Why? To much money. The Virginia program is in debt and appears to have some difficulty meeting its obligations. Why? Well the first reason is that providing care for cerebral palsy or other brain damaged patients is very high. A lifetime of care for cerebral palsy malpractice victims can run in the millions of dollrs.
