Car Accident Cases Involving A Traumatic Brain Injury Require A Lawyer With Special Knowledge

If you suffered a concussion in a car accident, it may have been more than just a “bell ringer.” You may have suffered a mild, closed head injury traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many have suffered a devastating brain injury leaving them with severe disabilities .

Today, science is learning more and more about the dangers associated with head injuries. And there are new advances in detecting it and understanding the extent of an injury. For many car accident TBI victims, a head injury is something many never recover from;  they and their family are left coping with the “new normal.” If this sounds familiar, you need a firm that is experienced in head injury cases, working with the best investigators and medical treaters in our area, who understand what you have been going through and what you need. You may suffer side effects including:

  • Memory loss
  • Damage to vision
  • Balance issues
  • Headaches
  • Depression
  • Personality changes
  • Irritability
  • Loss of focus
  • Cognitive impairments

These may surface when you first sense a loss of reading ability, ability to comprehend what you have just read, or even an inability to get along with your spouse or loved ones. If this kind of dramatic setback has happened to you following a motor vehicle accident, or you have experienced these kinds of changes occurring in a loved one following an accident, Schefman & Associates will fight right alongside you.

TBI After A Car Accident

Traumatic brain injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. A TBI does not appear on a CT scan and its effects are often not seen on an MRI; symptoms are often masked by other injuries. It is not unusual for weeks or months to pass before you even understand and can speak about the symptoms that appear. As a result, it is often not until someone tries to get back to their regular daily routine or tries to return to work that they recognize symptoms, feeling that something is just not the same.
