The Consequences of Brain Injury

Brain injuries often leave victims disabled and in need of in-home care. At the law office of Cogan & McNabola, we evaluate the financial impact of a traumatic brain injury on our client and their family by working with life care planners and economists. Additionally, our attorneys collect medical testimony and evidence regarding the scope and nature of our client's injuries, projecting costs associated with future medical care, special needs equipment, and lost earnings. When insurance companies dispute our findings, we ask experts to explain cost-data analyses collected from HMOs and the insurance industry itself, indicating expenses our client can expect to incur as a result of their traumatic brain injury.

The Long-Term Effects of Brain Injury

While a brain injury or concussion may appear moderate, months later a person may experience difficulty with memory, balance, dexterity, or cognitive functioning. Here, it's important to remember that when a concussion or other head trauma occurs, a person's brain is bruised when it is compressed against the inside of the skull. In more serious kinds of brain injury, there may be bleeding or swelling on the brain that result in damage to one or more of the brain's centers.

Over time, damaged neurons can interfere with the ability of the brain to process language, store memory, or control coordination when the cerebellum is affected. That's why our attorneys consult medical specialists, economists, and life care planners in establishing the scope and nature of a brain injury in order to ensure our clients receive compensation proportional to the extent of their injuries.
