Obtain Professional Medical Care After an Accident

A brain injury can cause many varying side effects depending on the location and extent of brain trauma. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as slurred speech, inability to control motor skills, or other symptoms, usually alert paramedics or other accident victims to the potential for a brain injury. However, a closed head injury can be more difficult to diagnose. While symptoms of a mild closed head injury, such as memory loss or significant changes in mood, may not surface for days or weeks, other symptoms, such as headaches or insomnia, may be apparent immediately. Therefore, seeking proper medical attention and fully discussing all symptoms with your doctor is critical — both for diagnosis, observation, and documentation purposes.

Helping Brain Injury Victims Live Their Life to the Fullest

Many people who are coping with a brain injury or are helping a loved one cope with a brain injury have questions about what the injury means for the future. At Stafford & Heafner, PC, we approach your concerns with compassion and responsiveness. We work with specialists to determine long-term care needs and special accommodations that will be necessary. When advocating for an adult who has suffered a brain injury, we pursue compensation for medical expenses, future medical needs, long-term care, lost wages and loss of earning potential, and other damages. Our attorneys also comprehend the unique compensation that must be sought in cases involving children suffering from a catastrophic injury.

We are driven by our commitment to help clients live their life to the fullest after a serious injury, such as a brain injury. The compensation we recover for clients in a personal injury lawsuit not only provides for the financial stability of the family, it provides our client with the financial means necessary to live a fulfilling life after a brain injury.
