Truck accidents can result in devastating physical injuries, but the impact on the brain is often less visible and harder to diagnose. Understanding the neuroscience behind the trauma the brain endures is essential for victims seeking justice and fair compensation. At Scherr Law Firm, we leverage our scientific and legal expertise to represent clients dealing with the complex consequences of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) caused by truck accidents.
The Impact of Truck Accidents on the Brain
Truck accidents often involve significant force, which can cause the brain to move rapidly inside the skull, leading to injuries, such as:
- Concussions: A mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can cause headaches, dizziness, and memory problems.
- Contusions: Bruising of brain tissue due to a direct impact.
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Shearing of brain tissue caused by rapid acceleration or deceleration, often leading to long-term cognitive impairments.
- Secondary Injuries: Swelling or bleeding in the brain, which can exacerbate the damage.
Even TBIs classified as “mild” can lead to severe, long-term effects, including difficulties with memory, concentration, mood regulation, and motor skills.
Why Brain Injuries Are Often Overlooked
Brain injuries can be difficult to detect immediately after an accident. Symptoms may develop over time or mimic other conditions, making accurate diagnosis challenging. This is why victims should seek immediate medical attention and follow up with specialists if they experience any neurological symptoms.
The Role of Neuroscience in Legal Cases
The Scherr Law Firm team’s understanding of neuroscience plays a pivotal role in building strong cases for truck accident victims. Here’s how:
Demonstrating the Extent of Injuries
We work with the nation’s top medical professionals to obtain detailed reports, imaging, and expert testimony to illustrate the severity of brain injuries.
Proving Causation
Using evidence such as accident reconstruction and thorough medical analysis by physicians, specialists and experts, we establish a direct link between the accident and the devastating effects of the brain injury.
Calculating Long-Term Costs
Brain injuries often require ongoing care, including rehabilitation, therapy, and assistive devices. We ensure these long-term costs are factored into damage claims.
Challenging Defense Tactics
The Scherr Law Firm team is experienced in addressing common defense strategies that downplay the impact of brain injuries or question their validity.
