Serious injuries deserve experienced attorneys

Brain Injury Accident Claims

Maryland personal injury lawyersMaryland personal injury lawyers at Cohen & Cohen know that even a minor brain injury can result in long-term, serious medical issues for an accident victim. Unlike other types of accident injuries, such as fractures, cuts, and bruises – a closed head injury can sometimes go undiagnosed for hours or days after an accident because symptoms of the injury do not always show up right away. Victims go through their daily life in the days following the accident, unaware they have a serious brain injury that could be a ticking time bomb inside of them.

At Cohen & Cohen, our Maryland personal injury lawyers understand how complex brain injury accident claims can be. We have been advocating for more than 35 years for accident victims in securing the best possible financial outcome based on the circumstances of their accident. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury caused by another person’s negligence, contact our firm to discuss what legal recourse you may have.

How Do I Know I Have a Brain Injury?

As mentioned above, it is not uncommon for symptoms of brain injuries to be delayed. The victim may think the accident only left a slight bruise on their forehead or there may be no bruise at all. This is why anytime a person has been a victim of an accident they should immediately seek medical attention and seek the guidance of reputable Maryland injury lawyers. This is true whether the accident was a vehicle accident, pedestrian accident, slip and fall accident, or any other type of incident that could have caused an injury.

Once you receive medical treatment, your doctor will likely explain what type of signs to watch for if he or she suspects that there may have been some kind of trauma to your head which could have resulted in an injury. Even a minor concussion or case of whiplash could be an indicator of something more serious. Some of the symptoms that could indicate a brain injury include:

  • Abnormal speech
  • Blurry vision
  • Changes in personality
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Loss of coordination
  • Irritability
  • Memory loss
  • Nausea and vomiting

These symptoms may be indicative of serious problems and it may be in your best interest to discuss your or your loved ones rights with Maryland personal injury lawyers.

If you do start having any of these symptoms, contact your physician immediately. Brain injuries can leave permanent damage that can be life-altering for a victim and their family. Although in a lot of cases, the victim may have good results with medical treatment and therapy, there are still many victims who require ongoing care due to the brain injury.

The information in this article is not legal advice in any way. Maryland personal injury lawyers can give legal advice based on the laws that govern personal injury claims in Maryland.

The costs of medical treatment and ongoing care can be financially overwhelming for a victim. This is where a brain injury attorney can help. Your attorney can file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party whose negligent actions caused the injury. The negligent part may be liable for compensation for current and future medical needs, loss of income and benefits, including future losses if victim is permanently no longer able to work. Damages can also include pain and suffering, emotional anguish, loss of the ability to enjoy life, loss of companionship, and any other losses the victim has suffered because of their brain injury.

Finding Good Personal Injury Lawyers

If you or someone close to you has been injured or become ill because of someone else’s negligent, reckless, or malicious behavior, finding good Maryland personal injury lawyers is important. If a loved one has been killed because of one of these behaviors, the person who did this should be held accountable for their actions and be punished for this horrible deed. When victims of personal injury lawyers have a good team of lawyers on their side, their chances of getting the compensation they deserve and are entitled to, are likely to increase.

Finding Good Lawyers

There are many ways to find good personal injury lawyers in Maryland and the surrounding states. If you are in need of legal advice and may need to enlist the services of good lawyers, it is important that you make sure that the ones you talk to are licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your injury occurred and/or where your personal injury claim needs to be filed. If you are not sure which jurisdiction this is, good personal injury lawyers should be able to help you to determine this.

Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is a wide umbrella that encompasses many, many different kinds of personal injuries and their causes. Because of this, many personal injury lawyers specialize in one or a few specific areas of personal injury law. Within these specialty areas, there are even more specific and nuanced areas. Depending on the nature of your injury and your particular claim, you may be able to find a team of good personal injury lawyers in Maryland that are especially suited to your kind of injury or claim.  An example of this is, claims for injuries from car accidents are a very common kind of personal injury claim and there are many personal injury lawyers that specialize in car accidents. Depending on the kind of accident you got into and the other vehicles and/or people that were involved, you may be able to find a personal injury lawyer that not only specializes in car accidents but one that specializes in the particular kind of accident you were in. Examples of these include but are not limited to accidents involving: rear-ending, multiple car rear-ending, t-bone impacts, red light and stop sign violations, commercial trucks, public transportation, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, etc. Some personal injury lawyers that specialize in car accidents, specialize in particular kinds of injuries that occur during car accidents such as whip-lash, dismemberment, or wrongful death, to name just a few injuries that commonly occur during car accidents.

The sooner you find good personal injury lawyers that are licensed to protect people in Maryland or the state where your injury occurred, the sooner they may be able to start protecting your rights and building a strong case for your claim.

If you or someone you love has suffered a personal injury caused by someone else, you or they should not have to pay for it financially on top of all the physical pain and agony that the victim has already endured- the person who caused the injury is the party that should be responsible for your medical bills and the many expenses that arise after a personal injury.
