A serious injury to your brain, neck, or back can have life-altering consequences for you and your family, regardless of whether it occurred at work, home, or elsewhere. The damage is compounded, however, when the injury is the result of negligence by another person or entity.

A catastrophic injury typically occurs without warning. Injuries that are considered catastrophic, due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of people who experience them, include:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) happens when an external forces cause damage to the brain. Traumatic brain injuries may either be a closed head wound, such as one's head hitting the floor or a penetrating wound when an object enters the brain. The severity of TBI can range from severe brain damage to a mild concussion. Many times it is difficult to assess the damage caused by head trauma as some symptoms may be delayed. Regardless of how minor or major you or your loved one's brain injury may seem it is good idea to speak to a brain injury lawyer.
• Spinal Cord Injury involves damage to a bundle of nerves that run from the base of the brain to the end of the spine. A traumatic injury to the neck or spinal cord may involve damage that results in loss of motor functions. Depending on the location and severity of the injury, spinal cord damage can lead to paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or a loved one has suffered a neck or spinal cord injury through the fault of someone else, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the responsible parties to recover medical expenses, loss wages, and pain and suffering.
• Neck and Back Injury refers to injury of the bones and/or cartilage of the spinal column. Some types of back injuries include broken vertebra, herniated disc, whiplash, degenerative disc, or bulging disk. Some of these conditions are degenerative in nature and occur over several years. However, sometimes falls, accidents, or working conditions can also cause serious back injury.
