Brain Injury Claims

The likelihood of a brain injury in any type of serious accident is very high. An estimated 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury every year in the United States. Of those injured, 1.37 million are treated and released, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 52,000, unfortunately, pass away. Even if a person survives after a traumatic brain injury, the consequences of brain damage may require years of ongoing medical care, treatment, and consistent rehabilitation, which in other terms, adds up to a whole lot of money.

At M. Austin Jackson Attorney at Law, we understand how frustrating, scary, upsetting and expensive a traumatic brain injury can be. Our compassionate, yet tenacious Augusta personal injury attorneys can guide you through the intricate legal process of personal injury claims and ensure that you get the compensation you need to help you recover. We know how important it is that you get the best medical help available.

Brain injuries are common across a wide variety of accidents, life events, work environments and industries, especially when those responsible are guilty of ignoring safety procedures and regulations or simply act negligent out in public. Common causes of brain injuries include:

Everything from a punch in a fight to a steering wheel in a car crash can cause a brain injury. While mild to moderate brain injuries may cause temporary dysfunction of brain cells, more serious brain injuries can result in bruising, bleeding, torn soft tissues, long-term complications and even death. Skull fractures, concussions, and brain hematomas—just a few of the more common brain injuries—may include the following symptoms:

  • Sudden mood changes
  • Chronic headaches or neck pain
  • Persistent dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Loss of balance or light-headedness
  • Difficulty remembering, concentrating, or making decisions
  • Slow cognition
  • Mental, psychological, or physical fatigue
  • Blurred vision

If you experience any of these symptoms after an accident, you should immediately go to the emergency room. Even if you feel relatively okay, you may have bleeding in the brain that needs medical attention as soon as possible, to prevent further injury or death.
