Spinal Cord and Head Injury
The
first thing I tell clients is to "Dont sign anything before
talking to an experienced
brain and
spinal cord injury attorney" to determine an appropriate
course of action.
Accidents on the job
site, on the playground,
car, truck or motorcycle
accidents can happen anywhere, and they can cause
serious head or spinal cord injury,
traumatic brain
injury, or paralysis. All it takes is one horrible
moment in your life or the life of a loved one to be
forever and traumatically changed.
When most people picture traumatic brain injuries, or closed
head injuries, they think of severely brain damaged people
in a vegetative state. More common are mild traumatic brain
injuries, which cause a variety of symptoms. These injuries
do not always present outward symptoms and are more
difficult to prove. Some issues common with mild traumatic
brain injury victims include:
-
Impulsive Behavior
-
Short Term Memory Loss
-
Personality Changes
-
Impaired Perception
-
Severe Head Aches
-
Loss of Taste and Smell
|
-
Diminished Concentration
-
Hearing and Balance Disorders
-
Cognitive Fatigue
-
Concussions
-
Coma
-
Mild Seizures

If you
find that you have a "sharp" pain running into one of your
legs or one of your arms; perhaps your toe or one of your
fingers is numb; or you feel that your finger or toe is
constantly "swollen" - you may have a serious spinal cord
injury. If you find yourself "grabbing" and squeezing
your finger - you may have a cervical injury requiring
surgery and possibly a cervical fusion. If you find it
painful to stand up because of pain in your back you may
have a lumbar injury (lower back injury).
If the injury has long-term consequences and was caused by
the carelessness or negligence of another, you may have
a claim. Aside from recovering the costs of your medical
care, you may have the right to recover loss of wages, loss
of consortium, pain and suffering and any other expenses
that result from your injury.
