Louisiana Brain Damage Attorney
Every year, nearly 100,000 Americans suffer serious brain injuries. These injuries may have been caused by a fall, car accident, sports or an on-the-job accident. Any kind of trauma to the head or neck region can cause the brain to bruise, hemorrhage or swell.
Soon after an accident or injury, it may be difficult to know if a brain injury occurred. A common symptom is confusion or difficulty remembering the event, which further complicates the accident. It is imperative to get medical attention immediately, including a diagnosis and treatment plan.
The Long Term Effects Need Long Term Planning
While scientists have mapped out the different areas of the brain
and their functions, a serious injury creates a whole different set of issues. Healing will take time and basic body functioning may change. Some of my clients have been in a coma for a few days. Some suffered vision loss, memory loss or the ability to use their cognitive skills in sound decision making.
Clients suffering from a brain injury will likely need to be in a care facility for a limited time or perhaps the rest of their lives. An important service I offer as your attorney is to create a life care plan.
At Errol L. Cormier, A Professional Law Corporation, I have helped clients create a life care plan by working with a team of experts, including medical, liability and economic experts. Together, we figure out how much it will cost to care for our client over his or her life span. I then work on my client’s behalf to ensure that the insurance companies and corporation be held accountable for the accident. Pursuing individual and corporate responsibility is what personal injury, such as a brain injury case, really comes down to.
