Terre Haute brain injury lawyer

The Terre Haute traumatic brain injury lawyers at C. Dennis Wegner & Associates recognize the loss inherent to suffering an injury to the body's most important organ. Traumatic brain injury, also called TBI, occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma. If the trauma results in damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the trauma is considered a penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries, in which the brain is injured but the skull remains undamaged. This can occur from a blow or impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash. Shaken infants can qualify as the injured party if they show symptoms of shaken baby syndrome.

Upon diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury, it is important to identify the exact cause of the damage. If there is reason to believe another party is at fault, a Terre Haute traumatic brain injury lawyer can assist in recovering damages for the physical, emotional, and monetary loss endured as a result of traumatic brain injury.
