Your Michigan brain injury lawyer can press your Michigan case

Following automobile accidents, the second most common cause of brain injuries are falls, which are the number one cause of brain injuries in older persons. In total, falls account for approximately 1/4 of all traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, in America. As many as three-fourths of such falls occur in the home, but the other 1/4 happen elsewhere, including work, a place of business or on the road. Moreover, more than a third of falls happen simply by tripping or slipping while walking. Yet such falls can be deadly. A knowledgeable Michigan brain injury lawyer can help you in obtaining monetary recovery when a brain injury happens in a fall that's because of another's negligence.

Some brain injuries are not diagnosed until long after an accident. That is largely because victims who visit an emergency room and don't show gross signs of brain damage, such as swelling, hemorrhaging or contusion, may not have their brain injury diagnosed in the ER. It may only be later that the brain injury becomes clear. Often it takes special tests to diagnose a brain injury, and these are not available in an ER. Such tests can include a CT scan or MRI. But some brain damage may be microscopic, requiring even more exacting tests. At whatever point when you or a loved one realize that there has been a brain injury, alert a trained Michigan brain injury lawyer immediately.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can happen in auto and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall mishaps, construction accidents and accidents involving sporting activities. A brain injury also can occur due to harmful drugs, including prescription drugs. Medications can alter the flow of blood to the brain, causing damage to the brain, such as internal hemorrhaging. When you or a family member has sustained a brain injury, call a experienced Michigan brain injury attorney for fast legal assistance.

Frequently brain injuries happen during an SUV rollover incident. Such automobiles are designed in such a manner that they often roll over or tip, and such incidents are made more damaging because SUVs often have "roof crush," meaning the top caves in on passengers as the vehicle rolls over. In such instances, brain injuries are unfortunately routine. Such injuries can be debilitating if not fatal, and they are caused mostly by the failure of the manufacturer, which was aware of design flaws yet kept selling such defective vehicles. A knowledgable Michigan brain injury lawyer can hold auto companies accountable for such negligence and fight for justice for you and your loved ones.

Statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control indicate that annually 50,000 citizens will die in the United States due to TBI, or traumatic brain injury. Moreover, such injuries lead to long-term disabilities for 80,000 Americans. Such injuries are normally caused by an external physical force against the brain which leads to a lessened or altered state of consciousness. Such injuries are 1.5 times more likely to occur in men. Vehicular collisions and falls together account for 48 per cent of such injuries, and those falls often are caused by another person's wrongdoing. An experienced Michigan brain injury attorney can pursue just and fair compensation in these instances.
