Brain Injury

Chicago Brain Injury Lawyer

Brain damage is among the most tragic injuries a person can experience. Brain injuries typically result in comas, and even those who remain conscious can suffer serious physical, psychological, and cognitive disabilities. If a brain injury is caused by an accident, whether from an car accident, medical malpractice, or another instance of negligence, a lawsuit can recover the money that the family of the sufferer needs for treatment and lost wages.

Facts about Brain Injuries

Not all brain injuries are immediately obvious after an accident. Sometimes accidents can cause a "closed head injury," in which the skull was not fractured but the brain was damaged. Sometimes the brain will swell and bleed as a result of an accident, which will slowly cause increasing amounts of damage to brain tissue. Often, brain injuries are subtle, showing themselves as changes in normal mental capacity, behavior or personality characteristics.

The brain is part of the central nervous system, along with the spinal cord, and controls all bodily function. Thus brain damage can cause damage to any part of normal human functioning. Inability to move parts of the body is common, but so are cognitive defects, such as memory loss, and emotional problems, such as anxiety and depression.

The type of brain injuries that result from sudden impact with the head or exposure to a toxic substance is known as "traumatic brain injury (TBI)." This kind of injury makes up the majority of personal injury litigation involving brain damage. For more about the legal implications of these cases, visit our brain injury information center.
