Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance

Legal System Barriers & Challenges

Most of us think that the legal and insurance system will take care of us if we become injured in an accident, especially if that injury is severe or caused by others. Unfortunately, for many people that is not the case. Often the coverage is woefully inadequate. Minnesota's insurance limits were set decades ago and need to be updated and modernized to reflect the reality of today's cost of brain injury care.

Tell Your Legal System Barriers Story

Hear about Kris Nozal's struggle navigating the legal industrial complex system after her brain injury by watching the Youtube video above (or at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASZNAz8HYII). 

Reflect upon your own experience(s) interacting with the legal system and how that has impacted access to disability services.

Then, use the form on this page to write to your State Representatives (MN State House and MN State Senate). Share how your life has been impacted (positively and/or negatively) by the legal system after a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and/or stroke, and why we need to modernize our policies and processes.
