Fighting for the Rights of Traumatic Brain Injury Victims
Even a seemingly minor accident can result in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many individuals may not even immediately realize that something is wrong. However, once the symptoms of a TBI begin to appear, the injury may already be permanent, if it was not already. We at the law firm of Moss ◊ Hovden have years of experience handling a wide range of cases that have resulted in a traumatic brain injury. We are not afraid to take on a large insurance company or other opposition in order to see that our injured clients get the full compensation they need to rebuild their lives and adjust to life with a brain injury.
A Vulnerable Organ
The brain is so vulnerable that when there is blunt force to the skull or there is a skull fracture, serious brain damage can result. However, depending on the extent of the force, various levels of brain injuries can result. While some people may only suffer a concussion and recover after a short period of time, others may endure a mild or traumatic brain injury with permanent damage. Depending on the extent of brain damage, people with a brain injury may suffer from:
- Short- or long-term memory loss
- Headaches
- Mood swings or personality changes
- Impairments in speech (slurred speech)
- Loss of control over motor skills
- Other varying symptoms
Typically, the effects of a concussion or a contusion are both immediate (brain swelling, internal bleeding) and long-term (memory loss, personality change, concentration difficulties). Early intervention and rehabilitation can make a lifelong difference in a victim's degree of recovery of normal functions. This is why it is so important for an injured individual to seek medical evaluation and treatment as soon as possible after an accident such as:
The complexities of a traumatic brain injury case can be vast and require extensive knowledge of how these types of injuries may affect the victim in the future. Our experienced attorneys, Rodney Moss and Del Hovden, understand that full compensation is essential in cases involving brain injuries since the victim will likely require long-term medical treatment, daily care assistance, life and work accommodations, and have other extensive needs. In addition, a person with a brain injury may suffer lost wages and endure permanent loss of income. We work tirelessly to get the compensation our clients require to get the care, support, and resources that will be necessary to live life as normally as possible with a traumatic brain injury.
