Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain Injury Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona
The brain is our most important organ. It is the essence of who we are and it provides us with the ability to think and make decisions.
The brain is composed of neurons (nerve cells). The neurons form tracts that run throughout the brain. These nerve tracts carry messages to all parts of the brain. The brain takes these messages and performs functions. The functions include our thought processes, physical movements that we make, personality changes, behavioral changes, and sensing and adapting to our environment.
When a brain injury occurs, the functions of the neurons, nerve tracts, or sections of the brain can be effected. If this happens, neurons and nerve tracts can be unable or have difficulty carrying the messages that tell the brain what to do, resulting in Thinking Changes, Physical Changes, and Personality and Behavioral Changes.
Brain injury can result in a variety of accidents, including auto accidents, pedestrian accidents, and motorcycle accidents to name a few. Someone injured in an accident and suffering brain injury is presented with a host of issues that can be very difficult, stressful, and exasperating.
If the injury is extreme enough it can result in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature but caused by an external physical force. That force can produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, resulting in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It may also result in the abnormal behavioral or emotional functioning, which can be either temporary or permanent, and cause partial or total functional disability or psychosocial maladjustment.
When that happens, our attorneys handling cases with brain injuries have the experience to advise an injured victim and their family regarding the complex issues involved in presenting a case to demonstrate the losses sustained by an injured victim who suffers brain injury as a result of an accident, and those family members who provide care to someone who suffered a brain injury.
