Brain Injury Attorney in New York City
A brain injury is one of the most traumatic injuries an individual can suffer. Broken bones heal. Individuals with lost limbs learn to compensate for the amputation. However, when the brain suffers severe trauma, the damage can be limitless. Personalities can change, communication may become impossible and motor functions may be impaired. Needless to say, the individual - and his or her family - will be affected significantly.

Traumatic Brain Injuries and Other Head Trauma
Brain injuries commonly result from falls from heights on construction sites, such as falls from scaffolding, roofs, ladders, forklifts and other construction equipment. Individuals who suffer brain damage may have varying symptoms that may or may not appear immediately. Common symptoms of a brain injury may include:
- Loss of appetite
- Insomnia or, conversely, extreme fatigue
- Irritability or mood swings
- Memory loss or loss of cognitive skills
- Tingling sensations or loss of motor skills
- Speech impediments
- Blurred vision
- Other symptoms
It is imperative to seek medical attention immediately following a scaffolding fall or other construction accident. However, in cases of closed head injuries or mild traumatic brain injuries, the symptoms may not become apparent for days or even weeks following the accident. Therefore, if you or a loved one experiences any symptoms of a brain injury, it is important to seek proper medical attention, even if attention was sought immediately following the accident.
