Being injured in an accident of any kind is a traumatic experience and can be devastating for both the injured person and their loved ones. It is essential to have a strong support system as the stress of dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident can quickly become unbearable.
Knowing the importance of trial experience is important. Many personal injury lawyers imply that they have it when they don’t. They may state that they “appear” at various court levels, but that doesn’t mean they went to trial. Not all cases go trial, but if you are offered a low settlement it is always important to have the option of having a lawyer that can protect your rights until the finish line.
This is the least severe of the three classifications and is often referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury or a concussion. Diagnosis typically involves evaluating factors such as whether you experienced loss of consciousness, had difficulty remembering events before or after the incident, or had a change in mental state at the time of the accident. Medical professionals may also use tests like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). It is important to note that a mild traumatic brain injury may be present even if imaging results are normal.
For a moderate brain injury classification, doctors will consider the criteria for mild brain injury, along with additional factors such as: whether you were hospitalized for more than 2 days, if your amnesia lasted between 1 and 7 days, whether your GCS score is between 9 and 12, and if there are any operative intracranial lesions or abnormal brain imaging findings. Even if imaging does not show abnormalities, you may still be diagnosed with a moderate traumatic brain injury.
A severe brain injury is classified based on criteria that include positive imaging results, a loss of consciousness lasting more than 24 hours, amnesia extending beyond 7 days, and a GCS score below 9. It is important to remember that a severe traumatic brain injury can be diagnosed even in the absence of positive imaging results.

Your medical records can be key evidence in demonstrating the existence and impact of your brain injury. They reflect the symptoms you reported during each visit, your doctor’s objective assessments, and their treatment recommendations. Over time, these records will show how your condition has changed, whether it has improved or worsened.

To assess the severity of your injury and identify any potential complications, medical professionals may use various diagnostic tools. These can include neurological exams, cognitive assessments, and imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs.
Addressing brain injuries and concussions often requires a team approach. Neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other specialists may be involved in your care. Working with these experts ensures a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
After your initial evaluation, your healthcare team will provide instructions for monitoring symptoms, recognizing warning signs, and attending follow-up appointments. Regular check-ups are crucial for tracking your recovery, managing any emerging issues, and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.

Neuroscience is still a relatively new discipline. The correlation between a specific area of the brain and a particular function tracks back to just 1848, when railroader Phineas Gage’s behavior changed after he survived an obvious brain injury in an explosion, destroying his left frontal lobe. Now neuropsychologists apply batteries of standardized tests to isolate specific deficiencies in cognition. On the horizon, functional MRI testing allows a visualization of the brain while being tested.
While the science is progressing, the tests are still quite deficient at demonstrating deficits in behavior as a result of brain injury. Advancing a claim for a person with a brain injury requires a very broad approach. Our first concern is helping you recover the best you can. This means helping to find funding for and coordinating treatment. This typically involves the assistance of occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, rehabilitation support workers, Neuro-psychologists neurologists and psychiatrists.
Even mild traumatic brain injuries can change the very nature of a person.
