Legal Help for the Injured

Akron Brain Injuries

According to the CDC, Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, are among the lead causes of death and disability in the US.

Traumatic brain injuries are caused by force, such as a bump or jolt, causing the brain to move rapidly back and forth. If the force is hard enough, it can disrupt normal brain activity. Non-traumatic brain injuries are the result of things like strokes, tumors, drug overdoses, or oxygen loss.

The Akron brain injury lawyers at Kisling, Nestico & Redick have experience dealing with traumatic brain injuries and know how to pursue compensation for the resulting damages. The road to recovery and rehabilitation after a brain injury can be long and daunting. The TBI attorneys at KNR can help you navigate the legal process and resolve everything from severe brain injury cases to mild brain injury settlements.

At KNR, we ask, ‘what can we do?’ so you move on with more.

Causes & Types of Brain Injuries

The two main categories of acquired brain injuries are traumatic and non-traumatic. The type of injury determines the severity of the symptoms.

Traumatic brain injury cases result from tihings like:

These include both penetrating and impact injuries, but have the same externally-induced jolt/shaken effect on the brain. Concussions from car accidents are a common cause of traumatic brain injuries.

Causes for non-traumatic acquired brain injuries include:

  • Stroke
  • Infectious disease
  • Toxic exposures
  • Tumors
  • Drug overdose
  • Seizure
  • Loss of oxygen or choking
  • Electric shock

In addition, the Brain Injury Association of America notes that the brain is a complex neurological organ. There are multiple ways to disrupt it and reroute brain activity. Thus, brain injuries can occur at a variety of impact levels and have varying short and long-term impacts.

Signs & Symptoms of Brain Injuries

Sometimes a brain injury is not immedietley apparent. But the following symptoms may indicate brain trauma.

  • Headaches
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Slurred speech
  • Confusion or memory loss
  • Drowsiness
  • Pupil dilation

Brain injuries, particularly mild concussions, can sometimes go undetected for some time. This creates a higher medical risk and the potential for serious and long-lasting impacts.

If you suspect you or someone you know has undergone head trauma, it’s imperative to seek medical advice as soon as possible. If a person loses consciousness after a head impact, see a doctor immediately.

The Akron brain injury attorneys at KNR have significant experience dealing with a range of brain injury cases. From mild brain injuries to traumatic long-term situations, Akron offers access to various levels of traumatic brain injury medical care.

For example, people suffering from brain injuries in Akron will probably receive some medical care from either Akron Children’s Hospital Head Injury Clinic or Summa Rehab Hospital.

Long-term Effects of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can have a range of effects, both short and long-term. These depend on the level of force involved. Akron-area medical professionals who specialize in brain injuries and TBI point to several long-term brain injury issues:

  • Fine motor skills
  • Loss of vision
  • Paralysis
  • Memory loss
  • Muscle stiffness
  • Inability to perform basic tasks
  • Ultimately, extreme traumatic brain injury causes death

The KNR brain injury lawyers in Akron are equipped to solve the toughest battles and recover the compensation you need.
