Chicago Brain Injury Attorney

Brain Injury

Brain injuries involve damage to the central nervous system (the brain and/or spinal cord and connecting nerves) and are often caused by car accidents, medical errors, severe falls, or firearm injuries. While the medical world has seen many advances in the treatment of brain injuries, many injuries go undetected for long periods of time resulting in permanent damage. Brain injury can result in loss of mental or reasoning ability (cognitive loss) or loss of coordination or physical ability (motor function). A variety of nervous system specialists—neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists-- often must be consulted with to identify the underlying location and cause of the injury, as well as the extent of it.

After being treated by a doctor for your injuries, it is critical that you hire a knowledgeable attorney with the experience and know-how to protect your rights against those who caused these horrific injuries.
