If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the Brain Injury Group at Barron & Stadfeld can help you get the verdict or settlement you deserve. The attorneys of Barron & Stadfeld's Brain Injury Group have extensive experience working with TBI survivors and their families and understand the complexities presented with brain injury cases.
A few important facts you need to know about TBI:
- You do not need to be "knocked out" or unconscious to have suffered a brain injury;
- You do not need to have a direct blow to the head to sustain a brain injury;
- Often a neurological and/or a neuroradiological exam will be normal, because these tests cannot pick up damage at a microscopic level;
- There are certain symptoms, often referred to as "post concussion syndrome" that are commonly associated with brain injury, including headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, fatigue, impaired consciousness, confusion, personality changes, impulsivity and behavioral changes;
- Even a so-called "mild" traumatic brain injury can cause serious cognitive and emotional impairments that can have a devastating effect on the person's ability to function;
- Often there will be no visible injury or evidence of trauma to the head or body because the injury is caused by movement of the brain and brain cells within the skull;
- You may not even realize that you have suffered a brain injury until you go back to work and realize that you cannot meet the challenges due to cognitive dysfunction.
