A brain injury can drastically change your life and have a deep impact on the lives of others in your family. Sometimes called traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, brain injuries occur when a force strikes the head, causing direct physical damage to the brain. A severe brain injury, or neurological injury, can have a devastating effect on a victim's life. (Another type of brain injury can be a result of toxins like lead paint, or a chemical reaction to a dangerous drug.)
Brain injury victims may lose their ability to remember, think clearly or control their emotions. Victims can slip into comas and suffer permanent mental and physical impairment. A brain injury may adversely affect a victim's relationship with a spouse.
If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, our firm can help you seek justice. Attorneys at Flager & Yockey, P.C. often work with medical experts like neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuropsychologists to determine the extent of a client's impairment. We work relentlessly to help our clients secure the maximum compensation to which they are entitled.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1.4 million people nationwide suffer a TBI, or brain injury, each year. Of those, 50,000 people die, 235,000 are hospitalized, and 1.1 million are treated and released from an emergency department. The leading causes of brain injuries include falls and auto accidents.
The skull does not necessarily have to fracture or break open for the brain to sustain a traumatic injury, such as a concussion caused by a fall down. When the integrity of the skull is compromised, the victim has suffered an "open head injury." This type of injury is usually the result of significant force such as a motorcycle accident.
