Difficult Diagnosis and Identification of Closed-Head Injury
Many people wrongly believe that a head injury cannot occur without contact with another object or that a brain injury would show up in an MRI or CAT scan. Unfortunately, many severe injuries go undiagnosed for months after an accident. Some closed-head injures (caused by whiplash) are first identified by family members who notice personality or mood changes in their loved ones. They often have the feeling that there is something “just not right” with a person. Our attorneys will handle your case professionally and compassionately to help you fight for compensation after a serious accident.
A closed head injury can result in:
- Hemorrhage
- Edema
- Personality and mood changes
- Depression
- Headaches
Experience in Demonstrating Damages the Jury and Insurance Company
Closed-head injury can be a kind of “invisible injury.” Unlike showing a broken bone, it is important that the insurance company and jury understand the extent of unseen losses suffered by the victim. Many times victims are not given proper treatment because the symptoms go unnoticed or are not easily identifiable. Conditions can also worsen over time. As your attorneys, we will work to demonstrate how the injury has affected your life.
