Like all other injuries, brain and spinal cord injuries commonly result from car and motorcycle accidents and workplace injuries. Unlike most other injuries though, brain injuries require specialized medical attention and distinct treatment.
Legal Aspects of TBI and Spinal Cord Injury
Severe trauma to a person’s brain or spinal cord, unlike fractured bones or broken limbs, may not cause a noticeable change in a person’s health. In fact, an accurate diagnosis may only be reached after costly trial and error. There are only a limited number of medical professionals who have the skills and expertise to make a conclusive determination of brain injuries not caused by a penetrating or “open head” wound.
Especially with what are known as “closed head” injuries, symptoms can be as mild as recurrent headaches, seizures, confusion, and other cognitive problems. Unfortunately, unless an accurate diagnosis is made, an individual who is injured may not be likely to recover financial compensation for this type of personal injury.
The symptoms that result from serious brain and spinal cord injuries dramatically affect a person’s life—from short-term hospitalization to the need for life-long care. Even the mildest symptoms may be indicators of serious brain injury.
