Brain Injury
In the U.S., nearly half of all brain injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents, including auto accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. Like many accidents, the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents is negligence and driver recklessness. When people fail to exercise caution and ordinary care, the results are often lethal. This is especially true in cases where innocent people suffer brain injuries due to other people’s negligence.
After a person suffers a traumatic brain injury, their way of living is susceptible to great change because of the many mental and physical symptoms that accompany injuries of this nature. Some symptoms will be immediately noticeable, while other symptoms will appear gradually. A mild brain injury may only cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and double vision. However, a severe injury to the brain will usually mean a combination of debilitating symptoms, including: loss of consciousness, continuous headaches, changes in personality, seizures, coma, slurred speech, loss of coordination, loss of digestive functions, loss of respiratory functions, numbness in limbs, or even paralysis.
People who suffer serious brain injuries must live with constant limitations. Brain injury victims will likely experience immense physical and emotional pain and suffering every day. Even with medical treatment, many people with brain injuries find that they are forced to adapt to a new way of living. Some victims of brain injuries may be unable to work or support themselves, or their families. This can be devastating, especially in cases where the injured person is the primary income provider.
