Head Injuries

Attorneys at Cappolino Dodd Krebs LLP have extensive experience in the sensitive area of brain injuries caused by motor vehicle collisions or any of a number of accident-related events. Due to the devastating effects of a head injury, also known as traumatic brain injury, hiring experienced, qualified legal attorneys to handle a personal injury case can make a crucial difference in the ability to recover both physically and financially.

Head injuries or TBI can result from a fracture or force causing penetration into the skull or brain, known as an open head injury. Even when the skull is not penetrated, a blow to the head, such as a concussion, can cause swelling and bleeding in or around the brain. This closed head injury appears when there is a rapid accelerating or decelerating motion of the head, similar to shaken baby syndrome.

According to the Brain Injury Association of America, each day a person will suffer from a traumatic brain injury every 21 seconds. Depending on the severity of the accident, traumatic brain injuries or TBI can be life-altering by disrupting physical movement as well as thought processing. Because the brain serves as the control center for all the body's voluntary and involuntary functions, any injury could result in hospitalization, rehabilitation or lifelong assisted living care. Many victims of severe head injuries never fully recover. Attorneys at Cappolino Dodd Krebs LLP have the knowledge and skill to represent victims of these tragic personal injuries to ensure every possible measure of recovery and rehabilitation.
