Client of a Brain Injury Lawyer in Cleveland Tragically Takes Own Life

As any brain injury lawyer in Cleveland knows all too well, it’s not only the victims of  head injuries who suffer and require professional therapy and rehabilitation. It’s just as important to remember the needs of their family as well.

This was all too evident in the recent tragedy of Randy Budd, husband of Sharon Budd who suffered debilitating head injuries when a five pound rock was heinously dropped from a Stark County overpass into her moving car. Tragically, Mr. Budd died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound this past August at the age of 55.

Shaken by his wife’s new lifetime challenges, Mr. Budd strove to improve highway fencing so other families wouldn’t have to suffer.

“Earlier this year, the Budd family helped push through new rules in Ohio requiring any new or rehabbed bridges over most busy highways to be topped with chain-link fencing to deter vandals,” the Associated Press reported.

In any brain injury case, families suffer. A financial settlement to help the family move forward helps, but as any brain injury lawyer in Cleveland understands, therapy and other rehabilitative services for the entire family are crucial to healing.
