Waco Contusion Lawyer
There exists a common misconception that because the words contusion and bruise are interchangeable, a cerebral contusion is a minor injury. This is misguided, however, because swelling of any portion of the brain can have devastating health effects. If left untreated or not adequately monitored, the pressure created by a contusion of the brain can prove fatal.
Because this form of brain injury is most commonly caused by blunt force trauma, either through physical assault, an automobile crash, a slip and fall accident, or other violent impact there is typically another party responsible for your injury.
Under the law, you have the right to sue an individual or entity whose negligence caused you to suffer a traumatic brain injury. A successful legal action can gain you the financial compensation that you need to address your medical care and other damages that arise. Contact Waco contusion lawyer Vic Feazell at 877-948-4842 for the experienced legal representation you deserve.
Symptoms of a Cerebral Contusion
Given the potential for life-threatening complications, vigilance is of tremendous importance. An injured person and any friends, family members, or co-workers around him or her should closely monitor the victim for any outward signs and symptoms that would indicate a cerebral contusion has developed. Some things to be on the lookout for include:
- Weaker than usual muscles
- Compromised motor skills and coordination
- Lack of sensation/Numbness
- Memory loss
- Cognitive dysfunction
- Aphasia or impairment of speech production and recognition
