Complications of Brain Injuries

Norfolk, Newport News, and Roanoke, Virginia

Our Virginia brain injury attorneys have seen the devastating effects of traumatic brain injuries on the people of northern Virginia. We’ve helped clients who have had their lives shattered by a brain injury caused by another person’s mistakes.

It’s because we’ve seen how awful brain injuries can be that we believe so passionately in the cause of representing innocent victims of these conditions. Our brain injury attorneys don’t think you should have to suffer because of someone else’s negligence.

If you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident or some other incident, you can trust in our brain injury attorneys. We have 35 years of experience. We know the law. We know the medicine.

“Altered Consciousness”

One of the most frightening complications of a traumatic brain injury is what the Mayo Clinic refers to as “altered consciousness.” Depending on the severity and type of your brain injury, you or a loved one might experience:

  • Coma
  • Vegetative state
  • Locked-in syndrome

These conditions can make a victim’s life, and the lives of his family, incredibly hard to bear. Our brain injury attorneys can help if you’re suffering from some form of altered consciousness as a result of your traumatic brain injury.

Other Brain Injury Complications

There’s still so much about the brain we don’t understand. The exact link between a damaged brain and the effects shown in the rest of your body are still not fully clear.

However, decades of investigation into traumatic brain injuries shows that these injuries can also cause:

  • Seizures
  • Infections
  • Increased risk of stroke
  • Nerve damage
  • Paralysis of facial muscles
  • Loss of vision
  • Trouble with memory, learning or reading
  • Problems communicating
  • Dramatic behavioral and emotional changes
  • Increased risk of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative brain diseases

Our brain injury attorneys have seen all of these complications and more. If you’re suffering from any of these effects, we can pursue compensation for:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

Don’t be afraid to come to us with your case. We’ll examine your claim at a free, no-obligation initial consultation. We’ll discuss your case with care and compassion.
