HEAD/BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY

Traumatic brain injury is one of the most difficult kinds of severe injuries for the patient and his or her family to deal with. Unlike injuries that can be seen and will heal over time, a brain injury is invisible. The person may look fine and look the same as before, but they are not the same.  This is confusing, upsetting and life altering for the brain injury patient and his or her family and friends.

Effects

When the brain is injured, the mental and emotional functioning of the person is affected and so are the personality, memory, language ability, and other less tangible qualities that make each person who they are. The effects of a brain injury are often devastating to the victim's relationships, occupation, income, school performance, and overall quality of life. Even so-called “mild” brain injuries can affect functioning, and create terrible hardships in a variety of ways.

Types of Head and Brain Injuries

Brain injuries come in many forms – all of which are serious.

• An open head injury is a visible assault to the head. This type of injury is more likely to damage a specific area of the brain.
• A closed head injury means the damage has not punctured the skull. In this type of injury, the patient usually receives damage or bruising to many parts of the brain. This is called diffuse damage. There may be a period of unconsciousness immediately following the trauma.
• Coma is a brain injury that results in prolonged unconsciousness.
• Mild brain injury may occur with no loss of consciousness and possibly only a dazed feeling or confused state. People with so-called mild brain injury may experience symptoms and impairments similar to those suffered by the survivor of a coma brain injury.

The Compensation You Deserve

A head/brain injury is a crisis that requires experienced legal advice. It’s important to seek out a brain injury attorney who understands the nature of brain injuries and can be not only sensitive to the victim and the victim’s family, but can work aggressively to protect your legal rights and obtain full and fair compensation for this devastating trauma.

Experience Counts in the Brain Injury Case

It is important that your brain injury attorney understand the extent of disability such injuries can cause — physically, mentally and emotionally, and both the short-term and long-term effects as well as the on-going challenges and on-going care needs involved. An experienced brain injury attorney will also understand that one can suffer a traumatic brain injury without direct impact to the head. For example, in severe cases of whiplash, the brain can sustain bruising and permanent disruption of nerve fibers. Important signals of “hidden” closed head brain injury are chronic headaches, significant forgetfulness or inability to perform tasks which were once routine.
