Traumatic Brain & Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury, commonly referred to as TBI, is the most common type of brain injury that people suffer from following an accident and this occurs when the brain is driven into the skull by a sudden blow or impact.  Individuals suffering from a traumatic brain injury may have problems with cognition (thinking, memory reasoning); sensory processing (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell); communication (expression & understanding); and behavior or mental health (depression, anxiety, changes in personality, etc.).  People suffering from severe brain injuries may remain in unresponsive, or vegetative, states.     

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a sudden blow or force that fractures or dislocates the vertebrae.  Most injuries won’t completely sever a spinal cord but will cause damage when pieces of vertebrae tear into cord tissue or press down on nerves that carry signals.  With some spinal cord injuries, the cord can’t relay any messages below the level of the injury, leading to paralysis.
