Brain injury is a broad term that includes a wide array of different conditions an individual may experience. At Ciecka Law, our traumatic brain injury lawyers are skilled at protecting the rights of clients who have developed and suffered from several possible injuries. Listed below are some of the conditions that qualify as a brain injury:
Concussions are the most common type of head injury. They occur when an individual’s head experiences a powerful force that knocks the brain into the skull.
Brains that become bruised after a concussion or other accident experience a contusion. While it can potentially heal on its own, a contusion can possibly form a hematoma. Hematomas are a build up of blood, and you will need to call a doctor to remove it.
This injury damages the brain but does not cause a break in the skull. Forceful movements that make the brain shake inside the skull cause them.
When the human brain sustains an injury after a break in the skull, it is considered a penetrating brain injury. All traumatic brain injuries are serious, but these are dangerous because they also damage the skull.
A brain hemorrhage is an injury that causes uncontrolled bleeding in either the surface or tissue of the brain. This bleeding can harm the flow of oxygen in the brain, making it a very serious injury.
If you want your personal injury claim to succeed in court so that you can obtain compensation, your attorney must prove to the court that you experienced a traumatic brain injury. However, because you cannot physically see internal brain injuries, this is easier said than done without the proper evidence. Therefore, you should keep a daily diary of all the symptoms and difficulties you experience and what you were doing when you observed them. This diary can serve as evidence of your brain injury.
A traumatic brain injury lawyer can present many different medical records and documents. These can include MRI and CT scans and photos taken using other technology that clearly display the injury. A doctor may perform an intracranial pressure test for more serious brain injuries — which you can also use as evidence. In addition, for harder-to-prove symptoms such as memory loss, traumatic brain injury lawyers can present findings from a medical expert.
There are also several witnesses that a brain injury lawyer can call upon to support their case. For example, a medical professional may serve as an expert witness who can use their specialized knowledge to help your attorney. Furthermore, much like in other personal injury cases, traumatic brain injury attorneys must also prove that the negligence of another person caused their client’s injury. You can prove this through witness testimony and similar forms of evidence.
