Lafayette, Louisiana, Brain Injury Lawyers
The skull provides the brain with considerable protection from injury. As a result, most head injuries are mild, but a head injury may be a serious problem when it occurs.
Accidents are the leading cause of death or disability of men under age 35, and over 70% of accidents involve head injuries and/or spinal cord injuries. Common causes of head injury include:
- Traffic accidents
- Industrial/occupational accidents
- Falls
- Physical assault
- Accidents in the home
The Effects of Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injury is a serious and debilitating injury. Persons with a severe brain injury often have problems with mental and physical functioning, and may require on-going supervision and assistance, as a result of post concussion syndrome. Even a person who has suffered a head or brain injury, with little or no documented loss of consciousness, may have permanent deficits, which make it impossible for them to return to their previous lifestyle and sphere of activities.
