dc.description.abstractGenerally, this study aimed to explore whether financial settlement in litigation influences outcome and recovery from closed head injury in a sample of traumatic brain injured (TBI) litigants who were tested and interviewed both during litigation (at time 1, or T1) and 1 year or more after case settlement (at time 2, or T2). More specifically, my major goals were to assess (a) changes between TI and T2 on outcome variables such as neuropsychological test scores and self- and other-reported cognitive function, behaviour, activities of daily living (ADL), and physical dependency (PD), and (b) the impact of demographic (e.g., years of education, employment status) and clinical (e.g., severity of injury, degree of post-traumatic amnesia, Glasgow Coma Scale score) variables on the aforementioned outcome variables.en_ZA
