Do I need a brain & head injury attorney?

In the U.S. alone, millions of people suffer serious brain trauma from what at first seems like a minor bump on the head. Unlike with other physical injuries, you can’t always tell from a blow to the head whether catastrophic damage to the brain itself has occurred. Moreover, there may be little outward sign of serious brain trauma, often called “closed head injury.” And the problems that result from serious brain trauma can last the rest of your life.

Victims of brain injury have been known to suffer loss of motor function, impairment or loss of speech and sight, seizures, memory loss, mood disorders, persistent vegetative state, and coma. For an injury this serious and potentially life-changing, having an experienced head and brain injury attorney in your corner ensures that your best interests come first – now and long after the injury occurs.

Traumatic Brain Injury – What to Look For

Traumatic brain injury occurs when a bump, blow, shock, or other injury to the head causes damage to the brain. More than half of all head injuries will require hospitalization, and the most serious of these will ultimately be diagnosed as traumatic brain injuries (TBI) which can cause irreversible brain damage, and potentially even death. Some symptoms that you should pay attention to include:

• A huge bump or swelling at the point of impact.
• An inability to think clearly.
• Loss of memory.
• Loss of motor skills such as walking, talking, the ability to feed yourself, or even breathing difficulties.
• Blurred vision, or seeing spots before your eyes.
• A ringing in your ears, or loss of hearing.
• A change in your sense of smell.
• Sharp pains, whether constant or intermittent can signal nerve damage.
• Loss of consciousness or an inability to stay awake for long periods of time can indicate that you have a concussion.
• And perhaps least noticed a TBI can raise havoc with your emotions and your sense of overall well-being.

In most cases, persons diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury require a period of rehabilitation. Attorneys Barr and Mudford make sure that any necessary follow-up treatments are covered long after immediate symptoms seem to subside. This is critical in light of California statutes of limitation (time limits) which determine how long after an accident you can claim damages for personal injury.
