The brain controls a person’s ability to think, feel, talk, see, hear, remember, and so much more. An injury to either the brain or spinal cord can take away those functions in an instant.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can have devastating effects and long-term consequences for a victim and can have a dramatic impact on the lives of the people around them. The results of brain injuries can range from concussion and coma to permanent loss of one’s short-term or long-term memory, loss of cognitive abilities, and/or extreme personality changes.
Major causes of brain injuries include motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, violent physical attacks, and falls, often because of someone else’s negligence. If you or someone close to you has suffered from brain injuries caused by another person or entity, please allow our personal injury team to take on some of the burdens. We understand the stress you are under because of the injury. Do not burden yourself further by dealing with the case on your own or by hiring an unqualified lawyer.
