Traumatic Brain Injury: Why You Need A Medical Expert On Your Side

Category: Uncategorized     Author: Georgina Tyburski     Posted: Friday - February 19, 2016

Traumatic brain injuries are a particularly catastrophic type of physical injury, as the immediate and long-term health implications can be devastating. Not only that, but medical costs for long-term treatment are oppressively high, often involving long-term monitoring by a variety of different specialists.

Effects Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

The effects that a victim of a traumatic brain injury may experience can vary widely, as the nervous system plays an integral role in every function of the human body. These effects are typically quite severe and can include:

  • Coma

  • Paralysis

  • Loss of memory

  • Sensory loss

  • Loss of motor skill functions

  • Mood disorders

  • Personality changes

Worse yet, the damage is not always immediately obvious. Many symptoms can develop and worsen over time, which is why the expertise of a medical professional, such as a legal nurse consultant, is critical.

Why You Need The Assistance Of A Certified Legal Professional

Many incidents resulting in a traumatic brain injury can fall under the umbrella of personal injury liability, and victims are often offered settlements. Unfortunately, adjusters and other agents acting on behalf of insurance companies are not authorities on brain injuries and their long-term effects, much less the actual cost of treatment. This can lead to a settlement that will prove to be inadequate in providing for the upcoming challenges, which can be catastrophic. And of course, there are instances where insurance companies will flat out try to deny liability on their end.
