Experienced Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Serving Clients in Winchester, Virginia

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have devastating and long-lasting consequences, affecting nearly every aspect of a person's life. Many victims will need to receive extensive medical treatment, and they may even experience permanent disabilities. When you have suffered a traumatic brain injury that was caused by someone else's negligence, you will need to understand your legal options. The attorneys at Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC know how serious these injuries can be, and we are ready to help you obtain compensation that will allow you to meet your needs during your recovery.

How Our Winchester Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Can Help You

Personal injury claims involving brain injuries will often require extensive medical evidence. Insurance companies may attempt to downplay the severity of your injuries or avoid liability by claiming that you were partially at fault. They will often offer settlements that will not fully address your needs. Our experienced attorneys can help ensure that these companies will not take advantage of you, and we will work to build a strong claim by:

• Gathering medical records, accident reports, and witness statements to establish the cause and severity of your injury.
• Consulting with medical professionals and economists who can provide testimony about the ways your injuries have affected you and the long-term financial impact they will have on your life.
• Negotiating with insurance companies to make sure you receive a fair settlement that provides you with the maximum compensation available.
• Taking your case to court if necessary to make sure you will be fully compensated.

Situations That May Lead to Traumatic Brain Injuries

Injuries affecting the brain may be caused by a sudden impact or a penetration of the skull. Some of the most common causes of TBIs include:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and collisions with commercial trucks will often lead to head injuries when a driver or passenger strikes their head on a steering wheel, dashboard, window, or other objects inside a vehicle.
• Falls: Slip and fall accidents, falls from ladders or stairways, and workplace falls can cause severe head trauma.
• Violent Incidents: Assaults, gunshot wounds, and domestic violence can lead to severe brain injuries.
• Workplace Accidents: Employees in construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk industries may suffer TBIs due to falling objects, equipment malfunctions, or other industrial accidents.

How Traumatic Brain Injuries May Affect Victims

The effects of a brain injury can be serious. In some cases, symptoms may appear immediately, while in others, they may develop over time. TBIs can impact victims in the following ways:

• Cognitive Impairments: Symptoms may include memory loss, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and impaired problem-solving abilities, all of which can make daily tasks challenging.
• Physical Limitations: Victims may experience headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, weakness in the limbs, and sensitivity to light or sound.
• Emotional and Behavioral Changes: Anxiety, depression, mood swings, aggression, and difficulty regulating emotions are common among TBI victims.
• Speech and Communication Issues: Some victims may struggle with slurred speech, difficulty understanding language, or problems expressing thoughts.
• Seizures and Neurological Complications: Severe brain injuries may result in epilepsy, chronic pain, or other long-term neurological conditions.

Medical Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries

The treatment required following a serious brain injury will vary from person to person, but common forms of medical care that may be needed include:

• Emergency Care: Immediate medical attention may include surgery to relieve pressure on the brain, control bleeding, or repair skull fractures.
• Hospitalization: Patients with moderate to severe TBIs often require extended hospital stays for monitoring and stabilization.
• Rehabilitation Therapy: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy may be necessary to help victims regain lost skills and improve their quality of life.
• Medication Management: Prescription medications may be used to control symptoms such as pain, seizures, anxiety, and depression.

For many TBI victims, recovery is a long process. Some people may regain full function over time, while others may experience permanent disabilities that will require lifelong care.
