Many people think that a brain injury could never happen to them or a loved one. But, did you know that brain injuries occur in nearly 75% of accidents that involve bodily injury? These injuries are an extremely common result of motor vehicle accidents and other accidents, including assaults, sports injuries, slip and fall accidents, and work-related injuries.
A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury results when there is either an actual blow to the head or a force that causes an acceleration-deceleration movement of the head. The brain strikes the inside of the skull causing either localized or generalized damage. It is not necessary for a person to lose consciousness to suffer a brain injury.
Some symptoms commonly associated with a traumatic brain injury include:
-Coma
-Language and speech impairment
-Memory loss and impairment
-Personality Disorder
-Sleep Disturbance
-Seizures
When a traumatic brain injury is due to the negligence of another person or business, it is essential to hire a lawyer that has experience in representing brain injury victims. When choosing a lawyer for someone with this injury, you will want to ask the following questions to help you determine whether the lawyer has the knowledge and experience necessary to properly handle the case. These include:
-Have you handled traumatic brain injury cases before?
-Are you a member of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan?
-Do you know about different types of brain injuries?
-Do you know what long-term health problems face someone with this injury?
-Do you regularly represent clients against insurance company lawyers?
-What kinds of settlements and jury verdicts have you obtained in these cases?
-Do you have a website with more information about brain injuries and the brain injury cases your law firm has handled?
-Have you spoken to groups of doctors and nurses on the legal rights of traumatic brain injury?
It is essential for a lawyer to have thorough understanding of the medicine and science behind these injuries when representing a client. This is the only way to understand how the course of a victim's life has been altered and how it has affected the family of the victim. It is also the only way to attack and defeat the "hired gun" experts that will be hand-picked by the insurance company to defeat a brain injury claim. Failing to select the best lawyer could cost you benefits and reduce your chances of obtaining a favorable settlement.
