The term “brain damage” encompasses a wide variety of extremely serious injuries. More accurately, “brain damage” is mostly a general heading for a wide array of diverse injuries to thewhite and gray matter and connective nerves to the parts of your body that controls thought, speech, intelligence, memory, movement, personality, executive functioning, vision, balance, emotion and related functions.
The biomechanics of a brain injury is the explanation of the how the brain injury occurred. Manyof these injuries, such as a fractured skull or brain hemorrhage, are easily identified and proved because they can be seen on an objective test such as an X-ray or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
The loss of IQ or a change in personality or executive functioning is much more complicated, as these would not be expected to show up on any film. Most often, they are the result of a closed head injury where there may not be a skull fracture or brain bleed. The injured party feels different and claims his or her memory or thoughts are impaired. The injured person seems confused, and calculations that were easy for him or her prior to the accident become difficult or impossible after the head injury.
In these cases, proof requires multiple batteries of clinical psychological testing by a skilled psychologist. Instead of an X-ray, a clinical psychologist administers written tests and uses the results to map or diagram the specific area of the brain affected.
The brain injury lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte work with many of the top doctors in New York who provide this kind of testing.
Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord comprises a column of nerve tissue that is protected by the bones of the spine. Those nerves deliver messages between your brain and the rest of your body.
A spinal cord injury could destroy or damage your brain’s ability to communicate with your body. When someone suffers a spinal cord injury, the part of the body that is controlled by the affected area of the spinal cord risks losing its ability to function the way it should. Many spinal cord injuries lead to permanent paralysis or disability. The closer the injury occurs to your head, the larger the area of the body it will affect.
Spinal cord injuries and the paralysis that often follows are typically caused by traumatic, sudden blows to the spine. The blow can fracture, crush, dislocate or compress the vertebrae.
The consequences of a spinal injury can include:
- Quadriplegia – the complete paralysis of all four of the extremities
- Paraparesis – a partial paralysis of the lower extremities
- Quadriparesis – the partial paralysis of all four extremities
- Paraplegia – a complete paralysis of the lower extremities and often the lower trunk
An injury to your spinal cord can significantly impact your ability to work and take part in everyday activities. If you have had to endure this kind of injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to fight for compensation for your losses.
The attorneys at Dansker&Aspromonte have over 35 years of experience, resources, and skill to handle your claims. We have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for our injured clients and we are happy to stand up for what you deserve.
