Traumatic brain injuries can occur any time an object strikes the head region with significant force. Whether it results from hitting a windshield during a vehicle accident, trauma from an explosion, or impact from falling or a workplace accident, a brain injury often causes changes in an individual’s ability to speak, walk, and control emotions. The Law Offices of David Kohm represent people who receive head injuries due to the reckless or negligent behavior of others.
Brain Injury Repercussions
A traumatic brain injury can range from mild to very severe:
- Mild brain injuries typically involve a brief change in or full loss of consciousness.
- Severe head injuries often result in long periods of unconsciousness or memory loss.
Depending on the extent of sustained injuries, cognitive effects could include trouble with attention, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and difficulty making decisions. Physically, sufferers often deal with headaches, blurry eyesight, loss of energy, and trouble with balance.
Professional Legal Representation
The human brain is a highly complex object; when injured, it can involve many complex medical issues. In addition to looking for experienced doctors and surgeons to help with their medical needs, injured victims should hire the services of an experienced personal injury law provider to represent their legal rights.
Many injured individuals that endure catastrophic brain damage face a lifetime of medical care and rehabilitation. A qualified Arlington injury attorney helps brain injury victims attain the largest settlement recovery possible if the injury was due to the negligence of another party.
Seek Medical Attention
If not properly treated, the effects of a serious brain injury can greatly impact the injured person’s lifestyle and their relationship with others. Ignoring the symptoms by not seeking medical attention can make the head injury worse over time, possibly resulting in damages too great to be repaired. It’s essential to be medically evaluated soon after an accident and document all findings by medical professionals.
