Brain Injury
At Maloney and Maloney, we have extensive experience in the sensitive area of brain injuries, which can be the result of motor vehicle accidents, medical negligence or any of a number of accident-related causes.
Depending on the severity of the brain injury, the effects can be devastating. A brain injury can disrupt body activities as well as thought function. The brain serves as the control center for a variety of conscious activities, such as talking and walking, as well as unconscious body activities, like breathing and heart rate.
Recovery from traumatic brain injury can be a lifelong process of adjustments and accommodations for the injured individual and his or her family. At Maloney and Maloney, we provide brain injury victims and their families the support they need during their difficult time of transition.
Traumatic brain injury can result from a fracture or a injury to the skull. It may also occur later because of swelling and bleeding into the brain or bleeding around the brain. In addition, traumatic brain injury can result from a "closed head injury," where there is no obvious signs of external damage to the skull but where serious injury can nonetheless result. A closed head injury often occurs when there is a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head, like in the case of shaken baby syndrome. Closed head injuries usually result in more widespread damage to the brain and can cause extensive neurological defects.
If you or someone you know has suffered a head injury in an accident or as a result of negligent care and exhibits any unusual behavior, please seek medical advice and contact us at 1-800-272-1025 for legal assistance as soon as possible.
