Brain Injuries

Because the brain is one of the least understood organs in the body, traumatic brain injuries can be extremely complex. Whether the injury affects the entire brain or just a small portion, it can result in long-term symptoms like:

• Confusion
• Memory loss
• Mood swings
• Paralysis
• Seizures
• Severe headache
• Trembling
• Vision loss
• Weakness in limbs
  

Brain Injury Lawsuits

Because brain injuries involve so many intricate issues, they are among the most difficult personal injury lawsuits to handle. Not only does the plaintiff need to prove that negligence was involved in the injury, but he must also provide solid evidence to support the compensation he’s seeking – not an easy task when doctors still do not fully understand the long-term effects of brain trauma.

In these cases, a brain injury attorney will call upon neurologists and specialists to provide expert opinions on the injury’s long-term effects. The attorney will work through the evidence to determine how much to seek for:

• Long-term medical costs
• Therapy sessions
• Lost wages
• Diminished life expectancy
