What is a head/brain injury?
A head injury generally results from an external trauma associated with an accident. Head injuries can result from a variety of accidents including:

• Automobiles 

• Construction Sites

• Slip and falls

• Bikes, Scooters and Motorcycles

• Shaken Baby Syndrome Situation

• Violent Acts

• Sports and Recreational events

• Plane crashes

• Railroad accidents

Head Injuries can effect speech, cognition, behavior, personality, emotions, and perceptions. Kantrovitz & Associates attorneys have experience in all of these areas and can help you determine what is the best course of action for you to take.
 

Is a head or brain injury sustained only due to a loss of consciousness, or being "knocked out"?
While a loss of consciousness, coma or an alteration in consciousness can often indicate or result in a serious head injury, these extreme conditions are not the only indicators of serious head trauma. Dizziness, slurred speech, nauseousness, external injury or trauma can all indicate serious head / brain damage.

What are the most common causes of traumatic brain injury?
It’s estimated that 8 million people sustain brain injuries each year in the United States. At least 2 million of those injured will be permanently impaired.  Many head injuries could have been prevented, but because of the negligence of someone else, a personal injury results. Head injuries can be caused by:

• Construction Site Accidents

• Slip and falls

• Bikes, Scooters and Motorcycle Wrecks

• Shaken Baby Syndrome Situation

• Violent Acts

• Sports and Recreational events

• Plane crashes

• Railroad accidents
