Long-Term Brain Damage Considerations
Following even a minor accident or injury, brain injuries often take a significant amount of time to reveal themselves fully and for the victim to be able to understand the long-term consequences. It is extremely important to obtain medical help and proper testing and treatment soon after a traumatic event.At Dodson & Hooks, APLC, we have a physician on staff to provide a preliminary evaluation of your case. By providing prompt medical attention, we are able to preserve evidence and establish a medical plan to repair the damages as quickly as possible. In addition, our team possesses the financial resources to strategically pursue the maximum compensation possible. In some cases, the brain damage is more apparent to the injured victim’s friends and family than it is to the injured individual. In other cases the damage is catastrophic.
