Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Area Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

A traumatic brain injury can change more about its victim than just about any other type of injury can. While a spinal cord injury, even one leading to quadriplegia, can rob a person of normal mobility, ability to work, and capacity for recreational activities, a traumatic brain injury can do that and more. Cognitive abilities can deteriorate and personalities can change, often permanently. In its decades of service to the communities in the vicinity of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, our firm and its traumatic brain injury attorneys have helped many victims and their families make the most of a sad situation by acquiring for them some measure of justice.

Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury

The tissues of the brain are fragile and difficult — if not impossible — to repair once damaged. Though the skull provides a very effective hard shell, the body’s defense systems are not foolproof. Traumatic brain injury may result any time this shell is fractured, but even in the absence of damage to the bone or a direct blow to the head, the soft tissues of the brain may sustain harm. For instance, in a car accident, a victim wearing a seatbelt may experience extreme whiplash that compresses the brain and creates major internal bleeding. Any time the brain undergoes sudden acceleration or prolonged compression, a traumatic brain injury may result.

Whatever the cause of a traumatic brain injury, its effects can be devastating. Common symptoms including chronic headaches, slurred speech, decreased learning and reasoning abilities, loss of hearing, and personality change, among others. These symptoms may be light or severe and temporary or permanent. Those who suffer a more severe traumatic brain injury may experience an impaired ability to earn a living or maintain personal relationships. As a result, both the victim and his or her loved ones must cope with major and often difficult changes in their lives.
