Massachusetts Brain Injury Lawyers
The most frequent cause of traumatic brain injury involves car and motorcycle accidents. Our office has also handled numerous TBI injuries involving bicycle riders, pedestrians struck by motor vehicles and fall downs. They are two types of traumatic head injuries: open head injuries where the damage to the head and brain involves exterior trauma, and is clearly evident; the second type is closed head injury. Closed head injury involves damage to the brain that is internal only or "invisible" to most laypersons. Unfortunately for some victims of closed head injury their condition goes undetected and treatment is overlooked.

In the most serious of traumatic brain injury cases death can result from a severe mid line shift of the brain. Conditions of coma are frequent. Rehabilitation and substantial family and medical support are necessary prerequisites to a successful recovery. Often these injuries leave the victim with a permanent disability. Family members should require that these victims receive consultations with either neuropsychologists or neuropsychiatrists who can test and evaluate the severity of the TBI and recommend a proper regimen of treatment
Common symptoms of a traumatic brain injury or closed injury can include emotional changes affecting behavior and temperament. Our office just successively resolved a case involving a woman whose balance was affected by a closed head injury. Other victims experience problems with vision or hearing. One of our clients experienced impulsive behavior and lack of libido control after a mountain bike accident. Impaired concentration, depression, loss of memory, mental fatigue and epilepsy can also occur. Several of our clients families have reported significant personality change as a result of traumatic brain injury. Problems performing at work and in school are common aftereffects of TBI.
