Washington TBI Attorney
Any accident that causes a hyperextension of the neck, a sudden or violent jerking of the head or a strong blow to the head can result in serious traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These types of injuries tend to be most prevalent in severe auto accidents and premises liability cases involving serious falls and falling object injuries.
Brain injuries are marked by a change in consciousness that can range in severity from dizziness to a coma. These cases can be extremely complex because the full extent of the injury may not be known for weeks or even months after the accident. Having an experienced Spokane personal injury attorney handling your case helps to ensure that your injury is properly evaluated and your interests are protected.
Seeking Fair Compensation for Legitimate Injury Claims
Brain injuries are frequently misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed by doctors. We often refer to these injuries as the "hidden injury," as some emergency room personnel fail to assess a head injury in the absence of a significant laceration or fracture. It is not uncommon for the non-injured spouse or family member to actually be the one who notices short term memory loss or other cognitive deficits, which eventually lead to a diagnosis. In some cases, denial plays a major role in the diagnosis or treatment of a brain injury. Victims will suffer a variety of symptoms, including light sensitivity, memory loss or confusion and attribute them to something else.
