New York Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
Head Injury Lawyer in Manhattan
Traumatic brain injury (or head injury) occurs when some sort of sudden violent impact or other injury causes damage to the brain. This can come about in several different ways. For example, a person could trip and fall, resulting in a direct impact to the head. This would be trauma to the brain where an object does not actually penetrate the skull. A situation could easily occur in which any object could actually pierce the cranial bones resulting in direct damage to the brain tissue.
Severe TBI can be extremely serious requiring immediate medical attention. If you or a loved one has experienced traumatic brain injury because of another person’s negligence, you have a legal right to recover compensation from the careless/negligent party. If you have suffered from a severe TBI, you may require the following medical treatments:
- Surgery to remove ruptured blood vessels
- Surgery to remove damaged/bruised brain tissue
- Physical therapy
- Speech therapy
