Closed Head/Brain Injury Attorneys

Brain injuries affect over a million people in the United States each year. Car accidents are responsible for the vast majority of these injuries, while other causes include falls, medical malpractice, sports injuries and criminal acts.

A traumatic brain injury occurs when there is a sudden physical impact to the brain. During a collision, for example, a vehicle occupant can hit the dashboard or stop suddenly, causing the brain to crash against the inside of the skull. In a crash, forces up to thirty times the victim’s weight are involved. A swelling of the brain tissue and bruising known as contusion often results.

Some brain injuries can be detected during an emergency room visit by an MRI, CT scan, X-ray or EEG. Others occur within the deep recesses of the brain and are not immediately obvious. Deficits may not become apparent until later when complex tasks
are undertaken.

Common symptoms of brain injury include but are not limited to:

  • Difficulty focusing
  • Fatigue
  • Forgetfulness
  • Headaches
  • Impaired judgment
  • Learning difficulties
  • Personality changes including impulsive or violent behavior
  • Problems with organization
  • Restlessness/problems with sleep

The brain is only a three pound mass of gray matter, and yet it is responsible for the essence of who we are. In addition to the injured party, countless others are affected. It is difficult for family members, co-workers and friends to adjust to the personality and cognitive changes which may result from the injury. Fortunately, with proper rehabilitation and treatment, many individuals experience dramatic improvement.

The treatment options can be expensive. If you believe your injury may have been caused by the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation under the law, and should contact a brain injury law firm immediately.
