Traumatic brain injury can have a devastating impact on the life of the victim and their family. In many cases, a brain injury can lead to permanent changes in a person’s mental functions, personality, physical well-being, and the ability to work. In the wake of a traumatic brain injury, families often find themselves financially and emotionally overwhelmed with hospital visits, medical bills, and dealings with insurance companies.
If you or a loved one have suffered brain trauma due to the actions or negligence of a third party, a New York brain injury lawyer can advise you as to your legal rights to compensation.
Symptoms of the kind of brain injury that could severely impair a person’s ability to function normally include memory loss, persistent fogginess or dizziness, pressure on the skull, headaches, attention deficit, difficulty concentrating, speech or hearing impairment, mood changes, depression, vertigo or balance problems, difficulty seeing or reading, and seizures.
