Fort Worth Brain Injury Lawyers

There are few injuries more serious or long-lasting than a brain injury. There are two general categories of brain injuries -- open and closed. An open head injury means the skull has been fractured and there is an actual opening in the skull. A closed head injury does not involve a skull fracture. However, a closed brain injury can be much more serious because the brain can swell and life-threatening blood clots can form. Regardless of whether the brain injury is the result of a closed or open head injury, these injuries can result in paralysis, loss of consciousness, mental impairment, and even death.

Car accidents and truck accidents are among the leading causes of brain injuries. In the violence of a car accident, brain tissue can be disturbed and critical connections can be damaged. A brain injury can occur even in relatively minor accidents, and there may be no outward sign of a problem until hours after the initial accident. As such, it is important to look for symptoms like headache, dizziness, confusion, unusual tiredness, or nausea. If you detect any of these symptoms after an accident, you should immediately seek medical attention.

Brain injury accidents are serious cases and you need a serious and respected lawyer to assist you. Lawyers handling cases involving brain injuries must understand the medical side of the case and the potential long-term needs and costs for the patient.
