Brain & Spinal Cord InjuriesTraumatic brain injury results from sudden physical damage to the brain. This damage can be caused by a closed head injury resulting from a blow to the head sometimes suffered in motor vehicle accidents, falls or acts of violence. It is not necessary that a person suffer loss of consciousness in order to sustain a brain injury. In some cases the injured person may exhibit symptoms that don't seem related to the injury. Traumatic brain injuries can sometimes manifest as personality changes, depression and fatigue. It is important to have any closed head injury evaluated by trained medical professionals. Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. The spinal cord is a dense bundle of nerves that lies in a narrow canal in the center of the vertebrae. The spinal cord carries all of the major nerve pathways that connect the brain to the rest of the body. Injuries to the neck or back may damage the spinal cord, causing loss of function of the nerves below the injury. These injuries are often permanent and always significantly impact the life of not only the injured person, but also his or her family. Determining whether or not the injury was caused by the negligent or intentional conduct of another is only the first step. Skill and experience is required to recognize, properly identify and prove all of the damages related to brain and spinal cord injuries. The lawyers at Ernst Law Group, ALC have a proven track record of successfully handling brain and spinal cord injuries on behalf of injured persons and their families.
