Accidents That Cause Serious Injuries

When an accident caused by a careless act results in a serious brain or spine injury, the effects are devastating. Not only may the injured person be left with permanent impairment, but the family and friends involved can be deeply affected. When such an accident happens, it is important to contact experienced lawyers immediately to work towards the best possible legal outcome.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Millions of Americans have experienced a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. A TBI can be caused by a violent blow to the head, or by an object piercing the skull and entering the brain. The effects of a traumatic brain injury can be mild to severe, depending on the extent of damages sustained. Some TBI cases require the surgical removal or repair of ruptured blood vessels or damaged tissue.

Hirshfeld & Hirshfeld commonly handles traumatic brain injury cases resulting from:

• Vehicle accidents
• Bullet wounds
• Falls
• Pedestrian accidents

Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury (SCI) can completely change the life of the injured, and that of his or her family. Not only does an SCI cause physical damage, but the financial obligations associated with the injury can be overwhelming. Quadriplegics, paraplegics and other individuals with spinal cord injuries can face millions of dollars in medical expenses.

Vehicle accidents, falls and violent acts are among the leading causes of spinal cord injuries. SCIs can result in paraplegia, quadriplegia, tetraplegia or other types of paralysis. Currently there are no cures for severe spinal cord injuries.
