Auto accidents, falls, industrial accidents, physical assaults, hypoxia, and sports injuries are all causes of brain injury. Most cases involve what is called a “closed head injury.” In other words, there is not an actual skull fracture. A common diagnosis following a brain injury is post-concussion syndrome.
Injuries to the brain can be mild, moderate, or severe. A brain injury can have lifelong consequences. If you or a loved one has such an injury, you need aggressive and skilled representation. That attorney must be able to recognize the symptoms of a brain injury and identify its scope.
There may be two stages to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The initial stage is the injury to the nerve cells, which produces immediate symptoms. The second stage may be the gradual death of these nerve cells that can progress over a prolonged period. It can significantly worsen those injuries, both in scope and duration.
Head injuries to minors are especially difficult to deal with because they may not fully manifest themselves for years. A brain injury to a child may well be a ticking time bomb. The child may well have normal neurological examinations for years after the injury. An MRI however taken years later may show an old bleed from this injury. Over the course of several years, the child may develop attention problems, impulse issues, personality changes, hyperactivity, and aggression. These may all be due to the injury.
That’s why it’s critical that with a significant head injury to a child, time must be utilized.
