What are my rights?
Minnesota Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys / Head Injury Lawyers
Our experienced head injury lawyers can help after a traumatic brain injury
Whenever an accident results in a closed head injury, victims should consider the possibility of permanent brain damage. The effects of brain trauma vary widely with symptoms ranging from a catastrophic injury like quadriplegia to often-misdiagnosed seizures or personality and mood changes. Every victim of brain trauma, however minor it may seem, should be evaluated by a doctor for traumatic brain injury.
When a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is caused by someone else’s carelessness, Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey personal injury lawyers can protect victims’ rights and help get the compensation they deserve.
Whatever the cause of your traumatic brain injury, you need protection
Five times more people experience brain injury each year than multiple sclerosis, breast cancer and HIV/AIDS combined. Whether an injury happens at work or in the course of daily life, the personal injury attorneys at Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey protect the rights of victims after these and other accidents that cause traumatic brain injuries:
- Child injuries
- Car accidents
- Semi truck accidents
- Bus accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Boating accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Domestic violence
The only known cure for a brain injury is prevention
According to the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota, the only known cure for a brain injury is prevention. There are many simple things you can do, and encourage those around you to do, to prevent brain injury:
- Always make sure everyone in the car is buckled up
- Never shake a child or infant
- Always wear a protective helmet during recreational sports
- Don't drink and drive
- Seek medical attention if you're dazed or have briefly lost consciousness during a sports activity
You have rights—even for injuries that can’t be seen
All brain injuries, whether mild or severe, are tragic for victims and their families. Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often overlooked at first. It may take time for the victim to start showing symptoms like subtle changes in behavior. Even subtle changes caused by brain injury can have a major impact on the way a person lives his or her life.
Brain damage can present itself in many ways—several of which are not physically obvious. Our experienced head injury lawyers understand that brain damage is permanent and has a wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms that are often misunderstood. Traumatic brain injury victims may experience:
- Frequent headaches
- Fatigue
- Ringing in the ears
- Blurred or double vision
- Short-term memory loss
- Slowness in thinking
- Difficulty learning new tasks
- Trouble making decisions
- Frequently getting lost
- Increased irritability or anger
- Laughing or crying more often
- Difficulty sleeping
- Increased sadness or depression
- Seizures
