Brain injury, or Traumatic brain injury, can be life-altering and also life-threatening. It occurs when the brain is injured often as a result of an auto wreck. If the trauma causes damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the injury 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 happen due to an an impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash. Such events can take place in: car and truck accidents, fall downs or on the job injuries.

After meeting with her and talking with her and her family I realized although she wasn’t requiring treatment for her physical injuries, she was still suffering some other injuries, specifically trouble concentrating, headaches and some trouble in school. Due to my experience with prior clients having head injuries it became clear to me that this client was likely suffering from a tramatic brain injury.
She needed to get into a tramatic brain specialist so they could properly treat her, diagnose injuries and help her get back to where she was before the accident. Without our office really talking to the family and going though her history and realising that she was suffering much more of an injury then the physical injuries and that she was suffering a traumatic brain injury, this young woman likely would not have gotten the proper medical treatment, might not have recovered from this injuries and would not have not been compensated for the full extent of the brain injuries that she suffered in the accident. Because we were able to guide her in the right direction and she was able to recover from these injuries and we were also able to get her a six figure policy limit settlement on her case.

Our Austin family lawyers know that a bike sharing program could encourage more people to take up riding and could increase the number of bicyclists on the roads. In New York City, a bike-sharing program led to riders traveling more than 1.5 million miles in just the first month of the program. While it is great that bike sharing can increase convenience and making riding a more popular option, more bicyclists on the road also means a greater chance of bike accidents happening. As a result, cyclists and drivers need to be aware of the risks of crashes and need to take safety precautions to prevent accidents.
