Closed Head Injury and Disc Injury
Injuries to the brain, also known as traumatic brain injury (TBI), can be caused by nearly anything that results in trauma to the head. Often, these concussion-type injuries remain invisible since the symptoms may not be immediately apparent. However, those who know the injured person well may see the subtle indications that a problem exists. They recognize the problems of being unable to converse naturally and logically; they see the inconsistencies in personality; they feel the frustration of knowing something is wrong.
Unlike closed head injury, spinal cord injuries quickly manifest themselves, leaving no doubt that something is wrong. Many times the symptoms lessen or disappear as proper medical treatment encourages the body to heal. However, in numerous cases, spinal cord injuries result in permanent damage leaving the victim with painful back and neck disc/vertebrae problems or even paralysis.
Treatment for Brain and Spine Injury
There is no set treatment plan for victims of closed head and spinal cord injuries caused by workplace accidents, car crashes or falls. Rather, treatment is customized to meet each person's needs. But with any treatment for these kinds of injuries, there is a common factor: significant medical bills.
As personal injury lawyers, we have seen how expensive treatment and rehabilitation can be. The cost, alone, can cripple a family's finances and potentially lead to bankruptcy. However, by obtaining an aggressive lawyer, such as a member of the legal team at our firm, you can protect your right to compensation from the insurance company and from the party responsible for causing the injury
