Baton Rouge Brain Injury Lawyers
The human brain is an amazing organ. At an average size of roughly 5.5 x 6.5, the brain exercises control over most everything we do. It regulates our breathing and controls our nervous system. The use of muscles relies on instructions relayed from the brain. Our memories are triggered by neuron activity in the brain. Any injury to this vital organ can have dramatic consequences on our live. When another person or organization bears responsibility for that injury, it’s right and just that their insurance cover what can be the considerable costs of recovery.

Closed head injury: The brain is housed inside bones called the cranium. Sometimes head injuries can result in striking the cranium and not directly hit the brain. Yet the brain is still impacted by the trauma. A child falling hard on the floor might be one of many examples where a closed head injury could occur.
Penetrating head injury: Even more serious is when an object gets inside the head and actually makes physical contact with the brain itself. This might happen from a violent act involving a gun or a knife. Or a person who is struck by a falling object might find themselves the victims of a penetrating head injury.
Victims of brain injuries can go through confusion and memory problems. In certain cases, because of just how much the brain controls, personality changes can be the result. They might suffer convulsions and the loss of coordination.
Slurred speech is a major warning sign of brain problems and blood clotting can be another consequence. The combination of blood clots, along with a brain injury, make a victim more vulnerable to a stroke.
The after-effects of a brain injury can include everything muscle spasms to bowel and bladder issues, to issues with sexual function.
All of these consequences require medical treatment. All of them impact a person’s quality of life. That means they all have to be considered when negotiating a fair settlement figure.

Types Of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries fall into two broad categories…Closed head injury: The brain is housed inside bones called the cranium. Sometimes head injuries can result in striking the cranium and not directly hit the brain. Yet the brain is still impacted by the trauma. A child falling hard on the floor might be one of many examples where a closed head injury could occur.
Penetrating head injury: Even more serious is when an object gets inside the head and actually makes physical contact with the brain itself. This might happen from a violent act involving a gun or a knife. Or a person who is struck by a falling object might find themselves the victims of a penetrating head injury.
Consequences Of Brain Injuries
The consequences will range widely, depending on the severity of the injuries. Headaches can be an early warning sign. If the onset of a headache coincides with some type of fall, the person is well-advised to seek medical treatment immediately. The primary reason is, of course, to protect their own health. But in the event legal action is required, having medical diagnosis immediately after the fall might be what a Baton Rouge brain injury attorney needs to connect the injury with a specific event.Victims of brain injuries can go through confusion and memory problems. In certain cases, because of just how much the brain controls, personality changes can be the result. They might suffer convulsions and the loss of coordination.

Rehabilitation From Brain Injuries
Recovery will typically begin with in-patient care in the hospital, perhaps including surgery. Once medical personnel can be confident the person can perform basic functions on their own, they may be released to continue their recovery on an outpatient basis.
The type of rehabilitation is extensive. The victim of a brain injury may quite literally need to learn to speak all over again, requiring the employment of a speech therapist. Daily activities we all take for granted have to be re-learned. This is called occupational therapy and calls for another specialist to perform ongoing rehab. Basic living skills can include learning how to re-integrate into social settings with family and friends and that calls for professional help

The extensive road to recovery can be a source of depression and anxiety, meaning ongoing psychological help will be a part of rehabilitation. It’s worth noting that this type of help may also be reasonably needed by family members, who struggle with both the loss of what their loved one was prior to the injury and the burden of ongoing care. It’s appropriate for the costs of their own therapy to be included in a fair settlement package.
It's imperative that the Baton Rouge brain injury lawyer negotiating the settlement understand all the factors that have to be considered, and they have a deep understanding of just how extensive the impact the rehabilitation journey will be on all who are involved.
