Brain and Head Injuries

Dreyer Law Helps Clients Recover Compensation in Hudson Valley

An accident that results in a traumatic brain injury (TBI), even a mild TBI, can change your life instantly. Many people believe that a traumatic brain injury means a brain or head injury that renders them completely mentally incapable, but the truth is there are many varying degrees of TBI injuries that can affect you in any number of ways. After an accident, you should be thoroughly examined by medical professionals, but you should also contact a personal injury attorney to learn more about your rights and options regarding collecting compensation for your injuries that you can use toward making a full recovery.

WHAT INJURIES ARE CONSIDERED TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES?

Brain injuries can be the result of many accidents including vehicular accidents and even accidents that occcur as a result of working. While the most common cause of TBI's are car accidents, TBI's sustained as a result of any injury can be equally devastating and can have a life-long impact. There are many classifications for brain injuries including:

• Concussion
• Contusions
• Penetrating Injury

Understanding the type of brain injury sustained can help victims of TBI's and their families understand the impact of the accident on the victims life. Due to the devastating nature of TBI's, victims are often unable to return to the workforce. If the accident that led to the injury was caused by another's negligent behavior, you may be entitled to compensation that can help as you adjust to life after the accident.

TRAUMATIC AND NON-TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

A common prevailing myth around Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI’s) is that such an injury is only sustained when someone is hit on the head or knocked unconscious. While these may be common circumstances that can result in TBI’s, whiplash sustained in automobile or motorcycle accidents is another leading cause of brain injury.

Brain injuries resulting from whiplash or other similar injuries can often go unnoticed by first responders and doctors when they occur in low impact accidents. Our attorneys understand the nature of such injuries and the impact they can have on your life. If you have experienced symptoms similar to those found as a result of a TBI, there is a chance you may be suffering from a non-traumatic brain injury. A non-traumatic brain injury, such as illness, oxygen deprivation, metabolic disorders, aneurysms, cardiac arrest, near-drowning experience, can also be the consequence of negligence of a property owner or because of medical malpractice. If you have experienced a brain injury caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
