Did you know that an estimated 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury each year? That means that every 23 seconds, a person in America suffers brain damage as the result of a trauma. In cases where a third party is responsible for an individual’s brain injury, victims may be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the damages they suffer, and should seek the assistance of a qualified attorney. At Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet, our Manhattan-based traumatic and acquired brain injury attorneys represent victims in Brooklyn and throughout New York City. We have more than 85 years of combined experience, and have helped many brain injury victims recover the compensation to which they are entitled.
Brain injuries fall into two categories: traumatic and acquired. Traumatic brain injury is most likely the result of a head impact injury, usually attributable to an automobile accident, sports injury, or a serious fall. Victims of traumatic brain injuries may become socially maladjusted because many suffer from dramatic behavioral and emotional alterations. They may also suffer impaired cognitive and physical abilities and lose the ability to regulate body temperature and control bowel and bladder activity.
Acquired brain injury is also known as anoxic brain injury, and is caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain. This type of brain injury causes brain cells to die from a lack of oxygen, and can commonly be the result of medical malpractice . Acquired brain injuries can affect such brain functions as cognition, memory, concentration, abstract thought, and the ability to process information. Victims of acquired brain injury may also suffer from behavioral problems, becoming depressed, hostile, restless, or even psychotic.
Each brain injury is unique, and the effects of the injury upon the person depend on the type of trauma as well as the severity and the specific location of the brain injury. For many victims, the effects of their brain injury are profound and reach to every aspect of their lives. Many victims of brain injury undergo a dramatic personality change, which affects their relationships with friends and family members. Furthermore, many brain injury victims lose short-term and long-term memory abilities, they are no longer able to survive in the work force.
