Brain aneurysms are a serious health issue that impact thousands of Americans every year. Brain aneurysms are extremely dangerous and can result in severe injuries and permanent disabilities.

We can all do our part to help increase awareness of brain aneurysms. By amplifying the voices of survivors and their families we can help encourage early testing and prevent new cases from occurring in the future

On Tuesday, 10/18, Daggett Shuler Law Attorneys David Daggett and John Koontz joined a local brain aneurysm support group that meets monthly at the Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center. John Kootnz is a board certified specialist in Social Security Disability Law, and he spoke to the group about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Claims.

These important benefits help support hundreds of thousands of permanently disabled people each year. David and John spoke with group members at length on these topics and helped answer their questions.

This monthly support group is organized by the Joe Niekro Foundation. The Joe Niekro Foundation was established in 2007 as a way to raise awareness and increase funding of brain aneurysm research. The Foundation was organized by Natalie Niekro, daughter of former professional baseball pitcher Joe Niekro, who tragically and suddenly passed away in 2006 due to a brain aneurysm. For nearly a decade, the Joe Niekro Foundation has remained committed to supporting patients of brain aneurysms and their families while funding research on this important topic.

At Daggett Shuler, we want to help increase awareness about brain aneurysms. Millions of Americans may be totally unaware that they are living with an undiagnosed aneurysm. According to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, an estimated 6 million Americans, or 1 out of every 50 people, have an un-ruptured brain aneurysm.

Here are some more troubling statistics about the prevalence of brain aneurysms in the U.S.:

  • Roughly 30,000 people in the U.S. will suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm every year. That averages out to 1 instance every 18 minutes.
  • Approximately 40% of ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal.
  • 4 out of every 7 people that survive and recover from a ruptured brain aneurysm will experience some type of disability.

Visit the Brain Aneurysm Foundationโ€™s website for more information on brain aneurysms, early warning signs and more.

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workersโ€™ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.
