Brain Injury as a Result of an Auto Accident

Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of brain injury in the United States. Due to the gravitational forces involved, brain injury as a result of an auto accident can occur in a number of ways. Blunt trauma to the head is most common and can result in either open or closed head injuries such as concussion, brain contusion, or even an open skull fracture. These traumatic brain injuries can result in devastating, life-long troubles that require large amounts of money and time and from which you may never recover.

Other brain injuries may occur that are less obvious. When you are being tossed around in an auto accident, the brain inside your skull may be knocked around with no outward physical signs like bruising. Damage to the brain can still result in some level of brain contusion or give you a concussion because of these forces. It is fairly common for signs and symptoms of brain injury to appear days, and even weeks after the accident, making it extremely important that you seek medical help right away.

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of an auto accident, please contact the brain injury lawyers at the Falvello Law Firm in the Berwick area of Pennsylvania to schedule a free initial consultation. The Falvello Law Firm serves clients in Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre, Sugarloaf, Bloomsburg, and Berwick, Pennsylvania
