The human brain is an extraordinary nerve center that controls all functions in the entire human body, playing an important role in everything we do and in defining who we are as individuals. Brain injury can come from exposure to toxic substances, total or partial deprivation of oxygen, untreated infection, stroke, tumor, burst aneurysm or physical trauma ("traumatic brain injury" or "TBI") such as that sustained from an accident or fall. at Leesfield & Partners we know that brain injury is often caused by the negligence of another person.
Brain injuries can be physically, emotionally and financially crippling. The effects may not be fully realized for months or even years after an accident, and these terrible injuries can dramatically impair a person’s ability to function and enjoy life. Medical bills, lost income, and in-home assistance with daily living activities are usually not just temporary, but can extend well into the future.
