Lawsuits involving brain injuries are often considerably more complicated than traditional personal injury lawsuits. To be successful, your attorney needs to have a breadth of knowledge and experience concerning complex medical terms. They must also understand the long-term implications of these catastrophic injuries and the effects they can have on you and your family far into the future.
If you or someone in your family has suffered a brain injury, a trustworthy Wheeling traumatic brain injury lawyer from our legal team at Bordas & Bordas has the requisite skills and knowledge to help you fight for fair compensation and justice.
Unlike most other types of injuries, the effects of brain injuries are not always apparent right after they occur. For instance, when someone is in a car crash and breaks their leg, they can usually tell that they need medical attention. After a few weeks in a cast or a surgery to repair the broken bone, that person is usually fully recovered.
However, when someone walks away from a car crash, they cannot always tell if they have a brain injury because such injuries are often internal. While some people experience open brain injuries, such as when a sharp object punctures their skull, the majority of brain injuries are closed, in which the damage occurs exclusively within a person’s head because something forces their brain to move back and forth and strike their skull walls.
Many people think they are fine in the immediate aftermath of an accident and are unaware that they have trauma to their brain. Some brain trauma symptoms do not show right away and may develop over time, becoming steadily worse. Ignoring a potential brain injury could allow the problems to continue and become more serious.
All of these are reasons why seeking a full medical evaluation is critical after suffering any sort of trauma to your head or brain. A doctor or other health care worker can perform a detailed assessment of your brain injury. Our dedicated Wheeling lawyers could then use the doctor’s evaluation as evidence linking your brain injury to the accident or incident that caused it.
Brain injuries can lead to cognitive, behavioral, physical, and emotional changes in a person. The following are examples of what a brain injury can lead to:
Brain injuries can severely impact your relationships with your family and friends, your job performance, and your school performance.
