Have You or Someone You Love Suffered A Traumatic Brain Injury?

Let Our Boston and Washington DC Injury Attorneys Help

If you have received a brain injury in an accident, the personal injury attorneys at Pollack & Flanders can help you understand the consequences of your injury, seek the best medical care available, and, if necessary, fight for your right to financial compensation. Traumatic brain injuries are common in many types of accidents. Car accidents cause 28% of all traumatic brain injuries, while sports-related injuries cause 20% — but almost any accident can result in a brain injury, including surgical mistakes, gunshots, and explosions. In severe cases, a traumatic brain injury can ultimately cause death.

Traumatic brain injuries are similar to spinal cord injuries in that they can cause varying degrees of paralysis and/or impaired functionality, but traumatic brain injuries can also result in a number of mental and emotional consequences. The mental and emotional consequences of traumatic brain injuries can be broken down into four broad categories:

• Thinking: difficulty remembering past events and/or reasoning through decisions
• Sensation: impaired vision, hearing, smell, etc
• Language: difficulty communicating with and understanding both written and spoken words
• Emotion: anxiety, depression, aggression, and/or personality changes

Treating a traumatic brain injury is often a life-long process — and it is usually extremely expensive. Caring for a victim of a serious traumatic brain injury can cost up to $4 million or more. Many traumatic brain injury victims are not able to return to work due to impaired functionality. Some studies indicate that as many as 80% of brain injury victims are ultimately unable to work. In many cases, a brain injury victim can forget the basic skills that allow him or her to work, though some can reacquire these skills through rehabilitation. Either way, a brain injury victim’s income reduces for some period. If you are the victim of a traumatic brain injury, you deserve compensation for these substantial financial burdens.
