Minnesota Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is usually caused by a violent blow to the head or body. This can happen due to another person’s negligence, after using a defective product, or during a car accident, fall, or sports injury. Mild cases are usually temporary, but moderate to severe brain injury can result in long-lasting or permanent damage, with devastating symptoms. Recovering damages for these types of injuries without a Minnesota traumatic brain injury lawyer can be difficult due to the long term implications and care that may be involved with this injury.

What to Do If You Have a Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury?

Proving what caused a brain injury and its symptoms can be challenging, so it is important to have experienced Minnesota injury attorneys that not only understand the complexity but have years of experience handling complex personal injury cases.

Our Minneapolis traumatic brain injury attorneys at Goldenberg Lauricella, PLLC have the experience, resources, and compassion to successfully handle your case.

We will vigorously fight for you and your family to recover the compensation you need to deal with the dramatic effects on your life, and we will help you get the treatment you need to rehabilitate to the best of your ability.

Signs & Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Traumatic brain injuries are not always easy to identify. Every traumatic brain injury, along with its symptoms, is unique. In order to determine if you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, consult a doctor.

Short-term symptoms:

• Headache
• Loss of consciousness
• Concussion
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

Long-term symptoms:

• Memory loss
• Loss of balance
• Impaired language skills
• Lost sense of smell/taste
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Intolerance to light
• Anxiety

Unfortunately, a TBI can severely impact an individual’s life. In addition to physical injuries, an individual may experience high medical expenses, lost wages, and a diminished quality of life.

Types of TBI Treatment

There are a few types of ways to treat the effects of a traumatic brain injury. While some TBIs may only require rest and over-the-counter medication to relieve a headache, other treatment options are available for severe cases. Some doctors may prescribe medications to help relieve anxiety, reduce the risk of seizure, and decrease pressure inside the brain.

Other treatment options involve rehabilitation. An individual may need to see a psychiatrist, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist, neuropsychologist, and/or vocational counselor.

Causes of Brain Injuries

The proximate cause of every brain injury is some form of trauma to the head. However, our brain injury lawyers understand that’s far too simplistic an explanation.

We understand that discussions of brain injury causes need to go deeper and examine the liability involved. This means a thorough investigation into the accident that hurt you and that accident’s true genesis.

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents

True Story: Suffering a TBI While on the Job

“Ruth” was an employee at a large machinery shop. One day, Ruth was utilizing a lift to work high above the shop floor. While up on the lift, one of Ruth’s coworkers used a remote control to open the shop’s industrial garage door.

Rather than stop upon contacting the lift, as it should have if properly installed, the garage door continued upward with such force that the entire lift was knocked over. In the fall, Ruth suffered a serious TBI, leaving her severely and permanently disabled.

Ruth and her family retained Goldenberg Lauricella, PLLC, and we investigated the situation and initiated a lawsuit. We retained experts from across the country and engaged in significant discovery regarding the installation of the garage door. Through the efforts of Goldenberg Lauricella, PLLC, a substantial settlement was reached for Ruth and her family.
