Brain Injury and Concussion

Chicago Brain Injury Attorneys

It has been widely known for years that severe brain injuries can have devastating results for victims and their families. The effects of these injuries may stay with them for the rest of their lives, requiring significant life adjustments to live with them. However, even concussion or mild traumatic injury victims can suffer from post-traumatic headaches, migraines, depression, anxiety, memory problems, sleep problems, personality changes and chronic pain.  These symptoms can severely impact the quality of a person’s life and can last for a relatively short period of time and can actually be permanent as well.  And it has not been until very recently that science has been able to determine how and why a concussion victim have permanent, debilitating symptoms.

FAQs.

Some brain injuries and concussions are relatively minor, and can cause little more than brief unconsciousness or altered mental states. Others, however, are much more severe and can result in permanent memory loss, confusion, emotional disturbance, fatigue and loss of problem solving skills.  Other times, the patient doesn’t fully understand the significance of their symptoms and only their family is able to fully talk about how the person is different from a personality or behavioral standpoint. 

Brain injuries are often referred to as the “Invisible Injury”.  Unlike a broken arm, the damage to the brain often can’t be scene. Likewise, the subtle changes in a person cannot always be explained by someone that is not experienced with brain injury law.  Plus, an individual that is cognitively impaired can’t possibly understand this “Invisible Injury”.  Likewise, a family member that is not experienced in this area of medicine and law can’t help either when they are focused on caring for their injured loved one. As a result, a victim or his/her family is not in the best position to negotiate with an insurance company.
