Helmets don’t always protect you from severe head injury

How a brain injury lawyer can help.

There has been a lot of controversy lately regarding exactly how safe bicycle helmets may be, and whether they are sufficient enough to protect you from traumatic brain injury in the event of an accident. Such an issue is especially important in NYC, where bicyclists are injured often by motorists. Additionally, traumatic brain injuries appear to be on the rise, especially in major cities where accidents occur with more frequency.

Of course, it is typically required by law to wear a helmet, but if you have been injured by a motorist or involved in some other sort of injury where you received a blow to the head, no matter how slight, and no matter whether your head was protected by a helmet, you need to speak with a brain injury lawyer in NYC and be examined thoroughly for traumatic brain injury.

Believe it or not, in many cases it only takes a small bump to cause a severe injury. However, symptoms don’t always show up right away, and you may agree to a settlement with an insurance company before realizing anything might be wrong. This is a bad idea, because traumatic brain injuries can sometimes lead to more debilitating effects and possibly even leave you disable or requiring some form of medical treatment for life.

In the event of an accident, in order to receive just compensation and ensure all your injuries have been properly diagnosed, you should seek counsel from a brain injury lawyer in NYC. An experienced personal injury attorney will help you receive proper medical treatment and examination, and investigate the circumstances of the accident in order to prove negligence and ensure you receive compensation that will cover the full extent of your injuries throughout your lifetime.
