Head and brain injuries are some of the most serious and complicated types of injuries. A head or brain injury can be just as hard as or harder to deal with than a significant broken bone or body trauma. Significant injuries of this type can alter one's emotional or cognitive capabilities; symptoms can be extremely subtle and may involve disorders like post-concussive syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, memory loss or changes in personality.
According to data from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 1.5 million Americans sustain brain injuries annually. Of these 1.5 million, 50,000 cases result in death while two-thirds require hospitalization.
If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury, it is important to take it seriously and get diagnosed as soon as possible. Many times, shock, swelling or other injuries will mask the damage to the brain. And while some signs can appear almost immediately, others can take weeks.
An experienced injury lawyer can help you get diagnosed/treated and can explore options for obtaining compensation while you take time to heal.
