BRAIN
INJURY LAWYER
 A Brain
Injury Lawyer who has handled
head trauma cases in the past will be best
prepared for the complexity of this type of
case.
Traumatic
Brain injuries(TBI) occur every day, in every
state, county, city and town in our
country. While many accidents do not result
in death or serious injury, other accidents
dramatically affect victims for the remainder
of their lives.
A Brain
Injury Lawyer understands
that "mild
injuries" can have profound effects.Much
of the medical research into head injuries
has focused upon identifying "mild" injuries
that may develop into more serious problems,
based upon the manner in which the accident
victim interacts with medical professionals
during the acute stages of the injury.
WHAT
IS A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY?
A
Brain Injury Lawyer must prove by expert testimony
an injury with no evident physical trauma.
When
the skull is seriously hit, the brain may twist
within the skull this type of brain injury
is called DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY. After a closed
brain injury the, the rotation and disruption
of the brain's long connecting nerve fibers,
this damage can be microscopic and difficult
to measure.
TYPES
OF DAMAGE
After an injury, a variety
of other damage may occur including:
-
Hermatoma (epidural,
subdural and / or intraccerebral);
-
swelling
/ edema increased intreranial
pressure;
-
cerebral
vasospasm;
-
intra
cranial infection;
LONG
TERM EFFECTS
The
long term effect of Trauma (TBI)
include:
-
A
traumatic injury occurs when an outside
force impacts the head hard enough to cause
the brain to move within the skull or if
the force causes the skull to break and directly
hurts the brain.
-
A
direct blow to the head can be great enough
to injure the brain inside the skull. A direct
force to the head can also break the skull
and directly hurt the brain.
-
A
rapid acceleration and deceleration of the
head can force the brain to move back and forth
across the inside of the skull. The stress
from the rapid movements pulls apart nerve
fibers and causes damage to brain tissue.
