If you have had a traumatic head injury recently and are now suffering from reduced peripheral vision, hearing loss, dizziness, memory loss, loss of balance or loss of vision, you should seek medical attention immediately. You may have a severe brain injury. If this is the case, after you have received medical attention you should contact one of our brain injury attorneys immediately.

Injuries to the brain are very common. When a person sustains an injury that involves severe trauma to the head they run the risk of having brain damage. A blow to the head of any type, even if it seems minor at the time of the accident, can cause serious injury to the brain tissue. Trauma to the head, even if it appears to only be external, can cause the tissues in the brain to tear or twist which in turn causes the brain tissue to bleed or bruise. Depending on what area of the brain is affected, brain injuries can cause permanent damage to a person’s memory, vision, or ability to speak. In severe cases it can even cause death.

These injuries can be caused by car accidents, slipping and falling on an icy sidewalk, the impact of a heavy piece of equipment falling on your head, violence, child abuse, train or airplane accidents and even sports injuries. Although not all people who sustain brain injuries have a personal injury case, many times an accident could have been prevented if another person had been more careful or had taken proper safety precaution. If that is the case, that person may be held liable.
