Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is a traumatic brain injury?

A: When it comes to brain injuries, there are basically two types – traumatic and acquired.  A traumatic brain injury is head trauma that is caused by an external blow to the skull, which leads to brain damage.  Traumatic brain injury affects over a million Americans each year.

A traumatic brain injury is most often caused by a fall or car accident.  It can range in severity, from a minor bump on the head to serious brain damage.  Unfortunately, when a traumatic brain injury causes brain damage, it is irreversible.

If you or a loved one has been in a New York accident, you need to watch out for the warning signs of a traumatic brain injury.  These symptoms include:

• Loss of consciousness
• Persistent headaches
• Vomiting
• Unequal pupil size
• Confusion
• Dizziness
• Lethargy
• Convulsions
  

The medical costs associated with a traumatic brain injury are high.  If your injury was the result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.  Contact a New York injury lawyer from our office today at 800.734.9445.
