Traumatic Brain Injury Claims in Arizona
Almost 1.5 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in America every year, and 150,000 of them will be the victims of a life-long impairment. As an experienced personal injury attorney, Jerrold A. Mayro has represented many brain injury victims including victims with both severe and mild brain injuries.
Attorney Mayro understands what is involved in a brain injury claim - both from a legal perspective and from the physical and emotional perspectives of the victim and his or her family.
The causes of traumatic brain injury vary and include motor vehicle accidents, sports related injuries, domestic violence and falls. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 3 million Americans are struggling with life after a traumatic brain injury. Not included in that figure are the over 300,000 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered TBI.
A traumatic brain injury is the result of the brain experiencing a blow to the head which can either leave the skull and brain intact or penetrate the skull and brain. TBI are classified by the severity of the injury to the brain, such as mild, moderate or severe.
A mild brain injury causes headache, slight confusion and dizziness, some blurred vision and may or may not cause a period of unconsciousness. A moderate to severe TBI can cause a persistent headache, nausea and vomiting, seizures, an inability to awaken, weakness of the extremities and profound confusion.
Victims of severe traumatic brain injury require months and years of physical, emotional and financial support to cope with the life-altering effect of their brain injury.
By contacting the experienced traumatic brain injury attorney Jerrold A. Mayro of The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a consultation you can discuss your legal rights and learn whether you are entitled to financial compensation for your injury or the injuries your elderly loved ones sustained.
