Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Happen to Anyone

“As a key member of the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault (CPAN), BIAMI is actively engaged in the fight to protect the basic human rights afforded to catastrophically-injured auto accident victims by our current no-fault insurance system of reasonable and continuing care for as long as medically necessary,” said BIAMI President Mike Dabbs.

Crittenton Home Care is proud to be an affiliated partner with the BIAMI to honor those who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, celebrate the successes achieved and continue to raise awareness for care and research.
“Home-based attendant services are a vital component of this continuum of care, and are being threatened by the insurance industry’s relentless attempts to shift the cost of catastrophic care onto an already burdened Medicaid system, which does not cover attendant care ,” said BIAMI President Mike Dabbs.
