A traumatic brain injury describes damage to any part of the brain from an external source of trauma, such as a bump, jolt, blow or penetrating injury to the head. Traumatic brain injuries often arise from sudden accidents, such as car crashes or falls. Common types of traumatic brain injuries include concussions, contusions, coup-contrecoup injuries and diffuse-axonal injuries.
There are also acquired brain injuries, which are caused by internal trauma that affects the brain. Examples include a loss of oxygen reaching the brain’s cells (anoxia or hypoxia), a stroke, a tumor, infectious diseases, and toxic exposure. Both types of brain injuries must be taken seriously, as they can cause a wide range of short-term and long-term symptoms and health problems.
Our personal injury lawyers craft settlement demands that fully consider the long-term implications of your brain injury. We carefully assess the losses you have incurred and the difficulties ahead. Brain injury can result in memory loss, cognitive problems, moodiness and overall loss of enjoyment of life. If you or your loved one will require special medical help or accommodations, we call upon experts who can help us assess your needs and determine the financial cost.
