A traumatic brain injury is a head wound that disrupts the brain’s normal function. A brain injury is one of the most dangerous types of wounds, and if you were injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you deserve to be compensated. At the Law Office of Steven M. Melley P.L.L.C., we have experience with this type of case and can seek compensation and protect your immediate and long-term interests.
Even if your head injury doesn’t seem to be severe, we encourage you to contact us. Brain injuries are internal, and sufferers can appear healthy on the outside, even if they sustained a serious injury. Whether your brain injury was closed or open, you should call us if you experience any of the following (after seeking the appropriate medical care):
● Severe headache ● Confusion and difficulty remembering events ● Lightheadedness and dizziness ● Blurred vision or tired eyes ● Numbness or weakness on one side of the body
● Ringing in the ears ● Bad taste in the mouth ● Unusual tiredness
People who have sustained a traumatic brain injury may struggle with disabilities such as the following:
● Speech and language deficits such as difficulty speaking, reading, or writing ● Memory loss ● Partial or total vision loss ● Loss of the sense of touch, smell, or taste
