Brain Injury Attorneys in Philadelphia
Types of Brain Injury
Brain injury is one of the most serious common outcomes of a major car wreck or other violent accident. The likelihood of closed head trauma, sometimes including brain damage that is challenging to diagnose, is high in these situations and the consequences can be devastating.
A brain injury may be catastrophically disabling or result in less extreme symptoms that nonetheless impair a person's ability to learn, work and perform other essential activities — creating tremendous personal and financial challenges. Whether brain damage has been diagnosed or you have become concerned about your own or a loved one's well-being after an accident, you should contact our personal injury lawyers.
Understanding Brain Injury Symptoms, Outcomes and Costs
Our Pennsylvania brain injury attorneys have taken strong legal action for numerous brain injury victims and their families over the past three decades. Unlike many other lawyers and even many physicians, we have developed a strong understanding of symptoms and behaviors that may indicate:
- Concussion or post-concussion syndrome — injuries once considered relatively minor but now known to cause severe headaches, personality changes and depression
- Brain edema — when an accumulation of fluid results in brain swelling and pressure, often requiring surgery to relieve symptoms such as vision loss, memory loss, or seizures
- Subdural or intracranial hematoma — usually caused by a blow to the head or sudden lurching motion and causing symptoms that range from persistent headaches and mood swings to loss of consciousness and other life-threatening problems
Dedicated Attorneys for People Suffering After Accidents and Medical Mistakes
In addition to successful experience in high-stakes auto accident and construction site accident cases involving various types of brain injuries, we have obtained substantial compensation for many medical malpractice victims. This background has prepared our lawyers well to help clients evaluate their legal options after a preventable birth injury — such as permanent brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation — or failure to properly diagnose and treat a brain injury.
Whether you know or suspect brain injury occurred in a motor vehicle or aviation accident, a fall on dangerous property, an accident at work or due to medical negligence, we have the connections and resources to build an aggressive case.
