Baltimore Concussion and Brain Injury Lawyer
Your brain is protected by a thick, strong skull for a reason—it controls movement, sensory perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and makes you unique. However, if you are involved in a serious accident, your skull may not be enough to fully protect your brain. Sadly, brain trauma is devastating and can be permanent.
Concussions and brain injuries often occur as a result of another person’s negligence. If you have been a victim of someone else’s carelessness, resulting in a concussion or brain injury, you should fight back against this terrible act. To learn more about your legal options, contact a Baltimore concussion and brain injury attorney from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, today at 410-234-0100.
Complications from Concussions
Doctors once believed that concussions were minor, temporary brain injuries. However, they now know that concussions can actually cause a condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Doctors think that CTE is a progressive brain condition that can worsen with multiple concussions. Under a microscope, some concussions cause brown tangles in the brain tissue that look similar to samples from patients with dementia.
Types of Brain Injuries
The brain can suffer damage from two main types of injuries: open and closed wounds. Open head trauma occurs when an item pierces the skull and tears into the brain tissue. Closed damage occurs when the brain slides around in the skull, causing bleeding, bruising, and swelling that can place dangerous amounts of pressure on the brain.
