Louisiana Traumatic Brain Injuries Attorney

Concussions or other head injuries are often temporary and do not cause lasting brain damage. However, if there are internal injuries to the soft tissue area of the brain, the result may be permanent and disabling. Serious head trauma or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can cause permanent impairment to multiple functions including speech, memory, reasoning, abstract thinking, judgment, and problem solving. A head injury victim may experience personality changes and altered senses such as taste and hearing. The extent of the injury may not be immediately apparent, so it is critical to have a professional examination by a neurosurgeon if you have suffered a head injury.

Personal Injury Claims for Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries

“Years ago I represented a client who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury as a result of a rear end collision that occurred in Orleans Parish, Louisiana.

He had trouble remembering certain events and started having difficulty with specific thought processes, including math and remembering the names of some members of his family.

It was interesting that initially there were no identifiable symptoms of head injury — the symptoms developed over a about a year’s time…” Read More
