Why You Need a Brain Injury Attorney
Brain injuries are catastrophic, often permanent injuries that may require lifelong medical care. Unlike other traumatic injuries, brain injuries may not be externally visible, because damage often occurs within the brain on a microscopic level. Diagnostic machines such as CT scans, EEGs, and X-Rays may not detect brain injuries. To demonstrate the severity of a brain injury, we consult with medical and neurological experts and specialists, and life planners who can calculate medical costs over the lifetime of the victim. If someone’s negligent actions have catastrophically changed the course of your family’s life, you deserve proper compensation. A Sacramento brain injury attorney at Estey & Bomberger, an AV-Rated® law firm, can help you obtain justice for you or a loved one’s medical expenses, wages lost as a result of an accident, pain and suffering, and future medical care.
Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can occur due to many different circumstances. A traumatic brain injury can occur either when the head strikes an object, or when an object strikes the head. Some of the causes of traumatic brain injuries include:
- Auto accidents
- Bus accidents
- Assaults
- Gunshots
- Pedestrian accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Explosions
Causes of acquired brain injury (damage to brain due to deprivation of blood or oxygen) include:
- Airway obstruction
- Near-drowning
- Strangulation
- Blood loss from open wounds
- Stroke
- Toxic exposure
- Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Open and Closed Head Injuries
Doctors classify head injuries as either open or closed, depending on the type of trauma. An open head injury is a head injury where the skull is broken open or penetrated. A closed head injury, by definition, is an injury that occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, but the object does not break through the skull. Even without the skull being fractured or broken (open head injury), a brain injury can cause permanent and widespread damage.
Types of Brain Injuries
If the brain is injured, as is frequently the case with head injuries, doctors will classify the injury as mild, moderate, or severe. Depending on the type of impact and the amount of force the brain is subjected to, a person may suffer one of several types of brain injury, including:
- Diffuse Axonal Injury
- Concussion
- Contusion
- Coup-contre coup injury
- Second Impact Syndrome
- Shaken Baby Syndrome
- Anoxic Brain Injury (acquired brain injury)
- Hypoxic Brain Injury (acquired brain injury).
Brain Injury Symptoms
Brain injury symptoms may be delayed, as swelling might not occur right away. If you suspect a brain injury, seek medical attention immediately. Some of the symptoms of brain injury include:
- Pain: Recurring or constant headache.
- Motor Dysfunction: Problems coordinating or controlling motor functions; problems with balance.
- Sensory: Changes in ability to see, taste, or hear; extreme sensitivity to sound or light; dizziness.
- Cognitive: Memory loss; frequently or easily distracted; decreased attention span; overstimulated by own environment; problems staying focused on a task, following directions or processing information; confusion, disorientation and other neuropsychological deficiencies.
- Speech: Difficulty stringing sentences together, difficulty expressing words or thoughts; slurred or slow rate of speech.
- Other: Nausea, vomiting, seizures.
