Brain Injury Lawyer

Have You or a Loved One Suffered a Severe Brain Injury?

If you or someone you know has a disability caused by a brain injury, then you are painfully aware of just how difficult life can be.  Every day is a struggle, whether due to limitations in physical, mental, or emotional functioning, or to such practical problems as unpaid medical bills or job loss. Brain injury attorneys can help you recover some of the things you have lost.

Brain injuries are often the result of automobile or other accidents caused by the recklessness or negligence of another person.  In such cases, you need help pursuing fair compensation from an experienced brain injury attorney at The Cartwright Law Firm. General practice law firms may not have the specialized experience you will need.

Types of traumatic brain injury

The three main types of brain injury include traumatic brain injury (TBI), acquired brain injury, and concussion.

Traumatic brain injuries occur when the outside of the head is struck or penetrated by a foreign object.  Even when the trauma damages only one part of the brain, the effects can be felt in many different areas, and can impair various types of brain and body functioning.  This is known as a diffuse TBI. Traumatic brain injuries are most often the result of accidents, and are categorized based on the amount of damage that they cause (mild, moderate, or severe).  Both moderate and severe TBIs can result in temporary or permanent deterioration of physical abilities.

An acquired brain injury, on the other hand, occurs when the cells of the brain become damaged because they are deprived of oxygen.  Such an injury can be the result of any condition that interferes with oxygen delivery to the brain.

Concussions are another common type of brain injury.  Often the result of blunt trauma to the head, a concussion damages nerves and blood vessels in the brain, at times beyond repair.  Bruises or bleeding in the brain caused by impact are called contusions, and the victims of these injuries can also suffer effects that are temporary or permanent.
