The Support You Need After A Traumatic Brain Injury
Last updated on January 30, 2025
A traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion, can be a catastrophic event for the victim and his or her family. If a member of your family has been in an accident and suffered a brain injury, it is extremely important to get the proper medical treatment as soon as possible. Most individuals who suffer a brain injury will make most of their recovery within the first year of the injury. Proper medical treatment can help ensure the best possible recovery.
Our attorneys at Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., in Ann Arbor have extensive experience in claims and lawsuits involving brain injuries. These can be complicated cases and it is important that your attorney understands the complexity of brain injury issues. With over 60 years of combined experience, clients statewide trust us to provide the legal guidance they need and deserve.
Providing For A Patient With A Severe Brain Injury
A severe traumatic brain injury or brain stem injury is obvious. Following the accident that caused the head trauma the patient may need lifetime attendant care or nursing care, is comatose or is on life support. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may face lifelong side effects such as motor issues, seizures, headaches and memory loss.
Our attorneys work with medical, life-care and economic experts to calculate the full loss to the victim and family, and the cost of life-time care adjusted for inflation. Not only the size of the settlement or verdict, but the way in which it is structured will determine whether the accident victim will be able to live with dignity.
Diagnosing A Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild brain damage may result in memory loss, inability to concentrate, personality changes, or depression – changes that are confusing and discouraging for the victim and family. Emergency room doctors are typically focused on surgical and orthopedic injuries. Doctors often fail to diagnose mild cases of traumatic brain injury. Although you never lost consciousness or had an abnormal CAT scan, your head trauma may have resulted in brain damage. It is important you are seen by qualified medical professionals and get the proper diagnosis and treatment.
Various Accidents Can Lead To A Traumatic Brain Injury
Any blow to the head can result in a traumatic brain injury. Our lawyers are prepared to handle a wide variety of personal injury claims. A large share of our practice is devoted to helping victims of motor vehicle accidents and providing free help with no fault insurance.
It is important, in order to recover all benefits you are entitled to and to get the proper medical care, to have any attorney with the appropriate experience review your case as soon as possible after an accident.
