Brain Injury Settlement Attorneys
 

If you have been involved in a motor accident, workplace accident, tractor accident, or any other type of accident, you may have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is important that you hire a personal injury attorney with experience litigating brain injury cases. Brain injuries can be difficult to prove as they are not always visible. Your lawyer should be familiar with the symptoms and treatment of brain injuries in order to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

If you or someone you know has sustained a TBI, you need an experienced brain injury lawyer on your side.

What is a traumatic brain injury?

Concussions are the more widely known form of TBI, but there are three types of TBI: minor, moderate, and severe. A TBI may consist of bruising of the brain, penetrating head wounds, and oxygen deprivation in the brain. While concussions are seen as milder than these, they all can have detrimental effects that are long-term and possibly life-threatening.

Knowing the signs and seeking medical attention immediately is extremely important since a lot of TBIs are not always obvious, sometimes not even showing up on MRIs or CT scans. Thus, even if you suspect you are a victim of a mild case of TBI, it still needs to be taken just as seriously.

If you suspect you or someone you know is a victim of TBI, here is a list of common symptoms:

  • Severe headaches

  • Dizziness or disorientation

  • Confusion

  • Vision and hearing issues

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Loss of consciousness

  • Personality changes

  • Slurred speech

  • Difficulties with balance and coordination

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Challenges with written and oral communication

  • Emotional and mood issues

  • Memory loss

Traumatic brain injuries do not usually show up on x-rays. Many traumatic brain injuries do not show up on CT scans or even MRIs unless the skull is fractured, or the brain is bleeding. Nevertheless, victims of serious accidents can have severe damage from head injuries that do not show up on diagnostic imaging.

Why is an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer needed?

Because brain injuries do not show up on diagnostic studies, head injuries can be difficult to prove. Additionally, many victims of accidents have a history of headaches before the accident. Insurance lawyers commonly argue that headaches and memory loss are not related to the accident. On top of that, the treatments for those who sustain TBIs can be costly and long. Seeking legal advice can help to improve your chances of covering those costs.

Our accident and injury lawyers frequently obtain favorable verdicts and settlements for our clients who have sustained brain injuries in motor vehicle collisions, 18-wheeler accidents, workplace accidents, and other types of accidents.
