Brain / Spinal Cord Injuries

Traumatic Brain / Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries are often permanent, life-changing, and can significantly affect the lives of both victims and their families. These serious injuries affect millions of people in the United States each year. Although automobile accidents are responsible for the vast majority of these injuries, other causes include falls, medical malpractice, sports-related injuries and even criminal acts.

Trauma to the head or neck region can cause the brain to bruise, bleed, tear, or swell. The two general types of head injuries are categorized as open or closed. An open head injury occurs when the skull has been fractured, while a closed head injury does not involve a fracture. Both types of brain injury can permanently affect the lives of victims.

Among indications of an injury to the brain is memory loss, irritability or a change in personality. The loss of brain function can be frustrating and painful for the injured person, as well as close family members. Some brain injuries can be detected during a medical emergency room visit by an MRI, CT scan, X-ray or EEG. Others occur deep within the brain and may not be immediately obvious. Deficits may not become apparent until later as complex tasks are undertaken.

A spinal cord injury can cause paralysis or loss of bladder and bowel control or regulation of body temperature. The spinal cord transmits signals for sensations and to control body movements. Therefore, an injury to the spinal cord can have a devastating effect on the injured person and recovery often takes years.
