Brain Injuries

Ohio Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys - Closed Head Wounds

Many accidents result in trauma to the head or brain: motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, falls from heights, or construction accidents can all involve blunt-force blows to the head and result in injuries that are not only severe in their symptoms, but can also be difficult to diagnose and treat. If you or someone in your family has suffered severe or moderate brain trauma in an accident, contact the Cleveland head injury lawyers at Friedman, Domiano & Smith for a free consultation.

Our experience with severely injured accident survivors has taught us that brain injuries present especially difficult problems of proof in assessing the plaintiff's damages. Many traumatic brain injuries (TBI) have delayed onset, subtle symptoms, and involve microscopic tears of brain tissue that do not show up in an initial emergency room examination. As they heal and scar over, however, problems with memory loss, sensory impairment, or personality can become apparent. This pattern of symptoms can be very subtle, particularly in closed head injury cases—concussions, for example—that are not accompanied by such injuries as skull fractures, bleeding within the brain, or gross trauma to the head.

As a result, our Ohio head injury lawyers make sure that any trauma to the head is carefully examined and monitored before we render a damages demand in any case, such as a truck accident case or workplace injury claim. Sometimes the injuries are not even apparent except to family members after an extended period of time. Our careful attention to your recovery and close coordination with experts can make a significant difference to your ability to prove the full extent of your damages.

Although not strictly a head injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can also represent an easily overlooked aspect of the plaintiff's damages. If six months after a motorcycle accident, a recovering patient shows not only an understandable reluctance to ride again, but also shows increased anxiety at the very notion, this together with other symptoms can indicate PTSD. The other symptoms can include changes in sleep patterns, social withdrawal, and signs of depression. While recovery from serious injuries is usually a difficult experience for most people, PTSD can represent an additional and independent basis of the plaintiff's damages in some cases.

We have long experience with the proof of damages in difficult head injury cases, including those with subtle or delayed symptoms. For additional information about our approach to personal injury cases involving traumatic brain injuries, closed head wounds, and PTSD, contact the Ohio head injury attorneys at Friedman, Domiano & Smith.
