Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
A severe brain injury can leave the victim disabled for life. The type and severity of injury you suffer following a TBI depends on what area of the brain is injured. A battery of tests will be necessary to determine where the damage lies and what the effects will be.
It is imperative that traumatic brain injuries are tended to immediately as delay in treatment can exacerbate the effects. Our serious injury attorneys will the injury and ensure all medical professionals acted according Missouri standards of reasonable care. If we feel medical treatment was somehow deficient, we will explore the possibility of a medical malpractice case.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries affect different parts of the body depending on where the injury occurred.
When the spinal cord is damaged, the consequences depend on exactly where the nerves are damaged. When the injury is in the neck area, paralysis may involve the entire body from that point downwards. When it is lower on the spine, less of the body is affected.
The Missouri spinal cord injury attorneys at The Bradley Law Firm have successfully represented many clients who suffered a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident. We can help you, too.
Amputations
Amputations are devastating to many aspects of the victim’s life. The pain of an amputation manifests in many ways. Loss of a limb or part of a limb may cause emotional pain as well as “phantom” pain. Phantom pain sensations are perceptions a person experiences when a limb is lost. The victim feels that the limb is actually still there, and the term “phantom pain” is used because the pain and the limb are not actually there.
The loss of a limb also reduces the victim’s independence, which may have long-term detrimental effects on the victim’s psyche. There are now many more prosthetics available than in past years, and they are well-designed and effective. There are also many personal and household devices that promote independence.
Amputations result in massive medical bills for prosthetics and physical therapy. In some cases, temporary living assistance may be required.
