How to Handle a Brain Injury Lawsuit When Your Cognitive Ability is Impaired

brain injuryCognitive ability refers to the way a person reacts and processes things which are going on around them – basically, it is one’s ability to think. Cognition is used in almost everything a person does from moving their hand to answering questions on a hard test.

Cognitive ability involves the following functions:

  •          Perception
  •          Attention
  •          Memory
  •          Motor Skills
  •          Language
  •         Visual Processing
  •         Executive Functions

 

When someone loses cognitive ability, they may also lose the ability to function as they once could. Brain injuries which cause loss of cognition can be utterly devastating; a person may lose their capabilities to work and complete everyday tasks without assistance.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury, often called TBI, is a result of a blow or sudden shock to the head or body.

According to the CDC, the leading causes of traumatic brain injury include:

  • Falls- this factor accounts for the highest number of brain injury resulting accidents (35%) – falls cause half of all brain injuries in children under 14 and 61% of brain injuries in people over 65.
  • Motor vehicle accidents- this is the second leading cause of brain damage and accounts for just over 17% of TBI and is the leading cause of brain injury related deaths.
  • Being struck by or against an object- out of the major causes of brain injury, this makes up for the third largest group accounting for approximately 16% of TBI. In ages 0 to 14, this makes up of 25% of all brain injury accidents, making it the second most common cause for this age group. These injuries happen when a person makes sudden physical with another object or person.
  • Assault- brain injuries as a result of assault only account for 10% of such injuries in the general population. Assault is the intentional act of injuring another person by using physical force or weapons.

Brain injury as a result of these or other factors may be limited to the area of impact or can affect multiple points in the brain.

The Cost of Losing Cognitive Ability

The initial costs of brain injuries come from medical bills and time lost at work. Following emergency care and lost wages are expenses which vary considerably depending on the severity of the injury. Long term expenses can include continued medical care/treatment, rehabilitation, and possibly even in home care services.

Who is Responsible?

Brain injuries are costly both short term and long term. Since many of these accidents happen as a result of hazardous situations, it is crucial to determine if there was something that could have been done to prevent such injuries. Traumatic brain injuries happen most commonly with the extremely young and very old so caregivers should act with added caution to prevent injuries. Many of the brain injuries amongst low risk age groups occur on the job and are a result of dangerous working conditions. On the job brain injuries may include incidences such as truck driving crashes, construction site incidences, and rail yard accidents. Perusing a claim when you have lost cognitive ability will almost always require the help of an advocate – this person is tasked with acting in your best interest. Advocates in lawsuits are typically attorneys who provide legal counseling and represent the claimant who cannot present their case properly because they are not qualified or not able.

What you should do if the Other Driver has no Insurance

Car accidents are serious events. In many cases, vehicle accidents can cause damage to personal or government property, injury, or even possible death. In most cases, insurance providers are able and willing to cover the costs associated with an automobile accident; however, options may be limited when the other driver does not have insurance for their car. Individuals who are in this situation have a number of options, including ‘eating’ the costs themselves, filing charges against the individual who caused the accident, or relying on uninsured motorist coverage to pay for the bills associated with the accident. Understanding each of these different options is important for individuals who want to ensure optimal results following a car accident.

Depending on the severity of a car accident, the costs associated with the incident may vary quite dramatically. While serious events can cost tens of thousands of dollars, minor bumps or scratches may be only a few hundred bucks. In the event of a relatively minor car accident when repair and or medical costs are quite low, accident victims may want to pay for the bills out of pocket. This process not only ensures that the repairs or treatments are completed in a timely manner, but avoids the need for filing a report with one’s insurance carrier. It is important to note that this technique should only be used in accidents when total costs are less than $1000—more serious events must be documented with local authorities and private insurance providers.

Individuals who do not want to pay for the costs associated with an accident—or legally cannot do so—may have to consider other options. In many cases, individuals choose to take legal action against the person who caused the accident, even if he or she does not have automobile insurance. It is important to note that filing a lawsuit against an uninsured driver can be a time-consuming process, with awarded damages ranging dramatically from state to state. Also, this process can only be initiated in states that are not considered to be “no-fault.” Victims should consult with local authorities to determine if the state in which they live is “no-fault” before pursuing this option.

Finally, many individuals rely on uninsured motorist coverage when it comes to paying the bills associated with an accident that is caused by an uninsured driver. Traditionally, uninsured motorist coverage is a specific type of insurance included in automobile policies that provide coverage in the event that another driver does not have insurance. Drivers should be aware that depending on their specific state, the requirements and limitations of uninsured motorist coverage may vary quite a bit. For example, while some policies may pay for all costs associated with an accident caused by an uninsured motorist, others cover only the bills associated with medical costs. Though it is not the perfect option for those who have been in an accident with an uninsured driver, it can provide some relief and protection.

If you or a loved one suffered an injury as a result of a car accident and the other driver was underinsured, you should consult a legal professional to find out if you have a case.  The Elmore Law Firm, P.A. is a North Carolina car accident injury law firm with experience providing their clients compensation for injuries not covered by insurance after an accident.  For more information about injuries and seeking the compensation you deserve, visit the website at www.theelmorelawfirm.com.

New Legislation Changes Rules for Drivers

December 23, 2012—Sacramento, California—According to the Orange County Register, January 1 of 2013 will mark several changes to California laws impacting motorists in several areas. Drivers are urged to study the laws to ensure that they are in compliance with new regulations. Some of these new laws will impact the possibility of victims collecting damages in car accident lawsuits when they are injured by careless or negligent drivers.

Senate Bill 1388—Broken Parking Meters

Senate Bill 1388 allows drivers to park in spaces governed by broken parking meters up to the posted time limit without fines. If a driver parks in a space governed by a posted sign past the time limit, the driver can still receive a ticket; however, the driver may not be cited for failure to put money in the meter if the device is not functioning.

Senate Bill 435—Motorcycle Noise

Motorcycle owners are now prohibited from ignoring federal requirements for emissions equipment. Riders are required to display an EPA stamp that certifies their compliance with emissions rules. Motorcyclists may now be ticketed for noisy exhaust pipes if they are pulled over for other violations. However, a first-time offender may provide proof of compliance to have the ticket dismissed.

Assembly Bill 1536—Hands-Free Texting

Due to the tremendous number of accidents involving distracted drivers, California has, until now, prohibited any form of texting while driving. However, Assembly Bill 1536 will allow drivers to text if the device they are using is designed to send and receive messages via voice control. Hands-on texting is still prohibited.

Assembly Bill 1708—Electronic Proof of Insurance

California drivers are now allowed to download proof of insurance to their mobile devices in lieu of a printed card. When asked to produce proof of insurance, California law enforcement officials must accept electronic proof of insurance in place of such a card.

Assembly Bill 2405—HOT Lane Access

Assembly Bill 2405 now exempts single-occupancy vehicles from the restrictions placed on HOT lane access if the car is powered by natural gas or pure electric power train. These drivers will not have to pay tolls on High Occupancy Toll lanes after January 1 for most highways and after March 1, 2014 for Highways 10 and 110.

Assembly Bill 1534—Buy-Here-Pay-Here Dealer Labeling

Auto dealers must display, on used vehicles, labeling that indicates the reasonable market value of the car and how the dealer determined that value. Buy-here-pay-here dealers must provide consumers with information from some nationally-recognized pricing guide on the value of the vehicles they are considering.

These laws do not directly impact personal injury victims, but many future cases may hinge on whether drivers have complied with certain laws. In this regard, it is important for both drivers and personal injury attorneys to pay attention to changes in the laws and to incorporate that knowledge into their understanding of how to operate their vehicles safely on the road to prevent accidents and to protect their rights.

Increase in small claims limit for road traffic accident personal injury cases

(Guest post) The results of a recent government consultation on road traffic accident personal injury claims have just been released. The results are that the government proposes to raise the threshold of road traffic-related personal injury claims that can be dealt with in the small claims court, from £1000 to £5000. The consultation also recommends independent panels being set up to diagnose whiplash. This policy change is designed to reduce the number of cases that are dealt with in the normal “fast-track” system, and thereby weed out the high numbers of cases which are fraudulent or exaggerated.

The risks to claimants, however, are that by ‘going it alone’ in the small claims track, they will risk appearing undefended against an opponent who may have legal representation. They may underestimate the amount of compensation they are entitled to, fail to claim early enough, or fail to challenge a rejection of a valid claim. For this reason, it is important to speak to a personal injury lawyer in the UK for specialist legal advice regarding personal injury claims, however small the amount you are claiming.

There is also the risk that highly complex cases may have to be heard in the small claims court which is not ideal for this purpose, or that claims may be deliberately inflated in order to make them pass into the threshold to be heard in a fast-track setting.

Road traffic accidents can cause a wide variety of injuries, the most common of which is whiplash. Whiplash is damage to the neck muscles, caused commonly by a vehicle impact jarring the head and neck. It can be very uncomfortable and, if it becomes chronic, can be debilitating on a day to day basis. The government aims to prevent local GPs from misdiagnosing whiplash out of a desire to please regular patients, and conceive of the plans as a crackdown on people claiming personal injury compensation without a proper diagnosis. There is also a risk that valid cases may never be heard if the claimant is not aware that they have a case to receive compensation.

Consequences of a Misdiagnosed Stroke

Having a stroke is possibly one of the most dangerous medical events a person can experience. Strokes can be lethal, but they can also lead to a lifetime of difficulty, including paralysis, difficulty with speech and more. While medical science certainly has progressed in its fight to prevent and treat strokes, they unfortunately do still happen.

What Causes a Stroke?

Most strokes are caused by a blockage of blood to the brain. In most cases, this occurs when a blood clot breaks away from an artery and travels through the circulatory system. Once the clot reaches the brain, it can block the flow of blood and cause the brain to shut down. Left untreated for too long, parts of the brain begin to die, causing the aforementioned consequences.

How is a Stroke Diagnosed?

When a person arrives at a medical facility while suffering a stroke, physicians look for a few symptoms. First, outward signs of a stroke include numbness or muscle weakness on one side of the body. Because a stroke begins killing off one side of the brain first, the opposite side of the body will begin to lose function before the entire body does.

In addition, someone suffering from a stroke will generally have slurred speech due to the loss of muscle control, and the victim may also salivate more than usual, causing saliva to drip from the mouth. Internally, a CT scan may reveal damage to the brain in terms of inactivity of cells. Ultrasounds and x-rays may also be taken in order to view the activity that is taking place within the arteries and brain.

How is a Stroke Treated?

Generally, the first treatment method used against a stroke is to inject tissue plasminogen activator, a medicine that is specifically designed to destroy blood clots. If this fails, an angioplasty surgical procedure may be performed in order to open blocked arteries to remove the clot and allow for normal circulation. In some situations, the affected artery may be clipped and embolized in order to redirect blood flow.

What Happens When a Stroke is Misdiagnosed?

Unfortunately, as far as medical science has advanced regarding the diagnosis of strokes, some still go misdiagnosed. When this occurs, it can lead to a variety of harmful effects, including death. Since the treatments that can prevent permanent disability must be delivered within just a few hours from the onset of symptoms, any stroke misdiagnosis lawyer will tell you that misdiagnosis can destroy lives.

If someone is experiencing a mild stroke, signs and symptoms may not be immediately present, or they may resemble another ailment. This may lead a doctor away from testing for a stroke at the moment, and by the time the stroke symptoms actually present themselves, it may be too late to do anything about them.

If you feel like you’re experiencing a stroke, it’s incredibly important for you to seek medical assistance at once. The first few hours after a stroke hits are the most critical, and people who are able to receive treatment within this limited window often have the largest chance for successful recovery. If you suddenly experience weakness, numbness, dizziness or intense head pain, call 911 or have a family member drive you to the nearest emergency room.

Rear-End Collisions: Watch Your Back!

Rear-end collisions are the most difficult to avoid, and they can cause an extremely large amount of damage. Not only is it possible for the other driver to total your vehicle by rear-ending it, but it is also common for the person who is hit to end up with whiplash or other serious injuries. It is important to understand what steps you can take to try to avoid being rear-ended, but keep in mind that there will be some circumstances that are out of your control. Therefore, if you are injured by a driver who rear-ends your vehicle, you should definitely contact a personal injury attorney.

Ways to Avoid Being Rear-Ended

According to the University of North Carolina, any driver who is using a cell phone is almost twice as likely to rear-end someone. Therefore, you should always provide as much distance as possible between your vehicle and the driver behind you, especially if they are on their phone. It is also important to avoid slamming on your brakes suddenly whenever possible. Although there will be some instances when it is impossible not to hit your brakes unexpectedly, you need to understand that doing so makes it much more likely for the driver behind you to rear-end you. Keeping a constant eye on your rear view mirror will help you determine if a driver is acting in an erratic way. Make sure that you change lanes if someone is tailgating you or appears to be driving while under the influence. Remember that it also your responsibility to do everything that you can to avoid being in an accident, and this is where driving defensively really comes into play.

Who is at Fault?

If you have been rear-ended, the odds are high that the other driver will be held at fault for the accident. There are over 1.5 million rear-end collisions in the U.S. each year, and the vast majority of these accidents are blamed on the person who crashes into the other driver’s vehicle. In order to be found guilty, however, the police officer must be able to prove that the driver acted negligently. Because of this, it is possible that the person who was rear-ended could actually be found at fault if they slammed on their brakes for no discernible reason. If you happen to be the victim of such a situation, contact a Charlotte personal injury attorney for advice sooner than later to make certain your rights are protected.

Dealing with the Accident

As soon as you are finished dealing with the police, your insurance company and any applicable medical professionals, you should contact a personal injury attorney. After all, if someone caused you an injury by rear-ending you, they should be held legally responsible for taking care of your medical bills. Your attorney can help you gather all of the necessary evidence, and they will prepare a case that is designed to convince a judge or jury that your injuries were the direct result of the other driver’s negligent actions. If you were rear-ended as the result of a DUI or because the driver was distracted, it will be even easier to gain a favorable outcome.

Serious Injuries

If the accident caused you to sustain life-altering injuries, your attorney will ask for enough money to help you deal with your medical and living expenses for the rest of your life. Although this can sometimes be a difficult thing to actually collect, it is always imperative to file a lawsuit that seeks as much as possible. After all, if the accident was not your fault, then the other driver has a legal responsibility to make things right.

Vehicle Black Boxes: Will they Make or Break Your Case?

If you thought so-called “black boxes” were only for airplanes, think again. The truth is, black boxes are already installed in many motor vehicles, and recent legal developments may soon see them as a requirement in all automobiles.

What is a Black Box?

A black box is essentially a device that captures and records the internal workings of equipment. In most cases, black boxes have been used in aviation craft to monitor, capture and record flight data to be analyzed in the event of a malfunction or accident. In a motor vehicle, the usage is no different.

Why Install Black Boxes in Motor Vehicles?

Because black boxes capture and record operational data from machines, and because motor vehicles are far more likely to be involved in accidents when compared to aviation craft, many auto manufacturers and lawmakers believe that installing black boxes will make it easier to determine exactly what took place during a motor vehicle accident.

Additionally, many motor vehicle accidents take place with no witnesses, and this means that law enforcement, insurance companies and so on only have the testimony of the drivers and passengers involved to go on when making a judgment. Unfortunately, people who cause accidents may lie in order to avoid penalties, and this can lead to lengthy criminal and civil proceedings and millions of dollars paid out to individuals who were at fault.

What Do Black Boxes Mean for You?

On the one hand, having a mandatory black box installed in your vehicle means a lesser amount of privacy. Because a black box would record operation of your vehicle, you might be at risk for exposing things such as your location, your driving habits and more. On the other hand, having a black box installed in your vehicle may become the difference between the truth and a lie if you’re involved in an accident.

Because a black box can monitor important operation information, many car accident attorneys believe it may become harder for a responsible party to twist the facts if he or she causes an accident involving your vehicle. Essentially, all the authorities would need to do is examine the information contained in your vehicle’s black box at or around the time of the accident.

The Possibility for Unintended Consequences

While black box technology has certainly advanced over the past few decades, it’s still not perfect. As with everything electronic and digitized, black box technology is prone to mistakes, and this could mean major problems for innocent accident victims who find themselves in the cross-hairs of an investigation with a faulty black box in their vehicles.

If you find yourself in such a situation, most experts agree that partnering with an attorney is the right thing to do. Because accident attorneys specialize in investigating roadway accidents, partnering with such a legal professional may clear your name and get you compensation for accident-related injuries, even if your vehicle’s black box suggests that you were at fault in your accident.

Finally, consider the fact that, with or without a black box, you’ll need to pay close attention to details before, during and after an accident. Most accidents can be traumatic, however minor, and your mind may have a hard time focusing. By making a conscious effort to control your thoughts and your memory during an accident, you will be able to offer details that a black box simply won’t be able to match, ultimately bolstering your case.

Whether your accident involves black box evidence or relies on testimony and witnesses, their firm will work hard to defend your rights and help you recover financially.

Organic Pastures Petition For Raw Milk Sales

Organic Pastures is the country’s largest single producer of “raw milk,” or milk that has not been through a pasteurization process. According to a report in the Food Poisoning Bulletin, Organic Pastures has filed suit against the Federal Food and Drug Administration for its failure to respond to a petition that would change the law that bans sales of raw milk over state lines.

Why Is the FDA Being Sued?

The suit is meant to force the FDA to make a ruling on the company’s petition to be allowed to sell raw milk products to states other than California. The suit alleges that many states allow the sale of raw milk, but federal law prohibits it from traveling over state lines, so sales are limited to the home state of a company. Organic Pastures would like to see that ruling changed so that it can sell milk in other states that allow raw milk sales.

The Issues with Raw Milk

Raw milk has been banned in some states due to fears of dangerous germs that may be present in unpasteurized milk products. E.coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella are common pathogens found in untreated milk and can lead to serious injury or even death for consumers. Organic Pastures has already experienced two recalls in 2012 for possible Campylobacter contamination in its milk, one of which resulted in 10 people becoming ill.

In the past, “milk sickness” had an incredibly high fatality rate, particularly among nursing mothers and babies. Milk sickness is the name given to tremetol poisoning, which occurs when cows ingest white snakeroot, effectively poisoning their milk supply. Today, milk sickness has been almost eradicated thanks to testing and treatment of milk products before they are released to the public.

Pasteurization is the process named after the famed scientist Louis Pasteur, who perfected the process in 1862. Pasteurization involves heating milk to a high temperature for a specific amount of time then cooling it quickly. This kills the vast majority of microbes that may be present in the milk and that may cause disease. Raw milk is not subject to pasteurization, so any microbes already present in the milk will not be killed before it reaches consumers.

Liability Issues

The determination of Organic Pastures to send raw milk across state lines is problematic for several reasons. First, if the milk is shipped improperly, bacteria may have a better chance to grow during the shipping period. This phenomenon can only be worsened by longer shipping times. Second, by petitioning for the right to sell raw milk in other states, Organic Pastures is opening itself to incredibly complicated lawsuits if someone in another state sickens or dies from using the company’s products.

A personal injury attorney can represent someone who has been the victim of a defective product. It is very important for these victims to secure good legal counsel immediately, as product liability cases can have very short statutes of limitations and victims can quickly lose their right to sue.

Injured on a Defective ATV: What Are My Options?

All Terrain Vehicles, more commonly known as ATVs or four-wheelers, have become increasingly popular over the last decade, especially among children, teenagers and novice adult riders. The fact that these vehicles are often marketed without adequate safety and warning information or sufficient operator instructions has added to the number of accidents involving their use. While rider error is still the leading cause of injury or death when using an ATV, significant manufacturer defects have also been shown to play a critical role in the number of accidents that occur each year across the country.

What Types of Injuries are Caused by Defective ATVs?

Depending on the make, model and individual defect that causes an accident, injuries sustained can vary from minor to incredibly severe, and even fatal. The following list includes a description of some of the most common injuries reported by riders of defective ATVs:

  • Facial and Cranial Injury – Concussions, maxillofacial injury (any injury that involves the jaws, teeth, nose, tongue, lips or any other soft tissues of the mouth) and fractures of the skull comprise nearly one third of injuries associated with defective ATV accidents. Serious head trauma can lead to brain damage that presents the potential for lasting effects not reparable by surgery.
  • Injuries to the Spinal Cord – When severe trauma to the spinal cord does not result in death, it generally presents itself as partial or total paralysis, substantial loss of sensation in the extremities or difficulty functioning normally.
  • Broken Bones – As one of the most commonly reported injuries associated with defective ATV accidents, broken bones are also the basis of the most frequently filed lawsuits targeting the vehicles’ manufacturers. Shattered bones in the arms, hands, wrists and ankles are painful, potentially costly and can lead to lasting problems with use of the affected bone or joint. Broken legs, ribs and hips can cause pain and diminished function for many years after the accident occurs.

What Can You Do if You Are Affected?

Following a serious accident on an ATV, considering anything other than the matter immediately at hand can be incredibly difficult. It is important, though, that anyone who has suffered an injury or fatality connected directly to an ATV malfunction or design flaw be awarded just compensation from the negligent manufacturer. The first step in determining if your ATV is, in fact, defective, is to research its make, model and year using information from a reputable source. ATVSafety.gov is the leading government source of data regarding recalled ATVs in the United States.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of an accident associated with the use of a defective ATV, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your pain, suffering, medical bills and all other expenses incurred. A qualified legal professional with experience in dealing with this type of case will provide you with detailed information that pertains to your case in particular, as well as with specific courses of action tailored to your circumstances.

New York Subway Accident Statistics

Subway AccidentsAccording to statistics gathered and reported by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the New York subway system transported more than 1.6 billion riders to and from work, school, state attractions and other destinations in the year 2011. Although the overwhelming majority of these subway riders enjoyed a perfectly safe and peaceful time while in transit, a number of them were not so fortunate.

The MTA released the findings of a 2011 study in March of 2012, showing that the number of individuals actually hit by moving subway trains had increased to 147 in one year, up 15 percent as compared to the last study.

Types of Subway Accidents

A subway accident can be defined as any negative event that occurs within or around a subway train or depot. The reasons for subway accidents in New York can typically be divided into one or more of the following categories:

  • Operator Error – When the employee or employees responsible for operating a subway train or components of its station fail to perform their duties in a safe and professional manner, they are often found liable for the death and injury of their passengers. This can include anything from operating the train under the influence of drugs or alcohol to failing to pay mind to the complex processes involved in keeping the train functioning properly. In a 1991 derailment near Union Square in New York, the operator’s intoxication resulted in the death of five people. 200 more passengers were reported as injured. The driver was found guilty of manslaughter and imprisoned for 15 years.
  • Accidental Falls – Every year, dozens of subway passengers slip and fall into the path of an oncoming subway train. Fortunately, many of these people are able to escape certain death or extensive injury before the train arrives. Others, however, are not always as lucky. New York subway committees have begun to improve the cleanliness and accessibility of depots in an effort to lower this number, but this type of necessary improvement is a constantly growing and demanding occupation.
  • Equipment Failure – When any component of a subway train, one of its cars or the rails it follows fails to function properly, the risk of accident is increased dramatically. A seemingly simple problem with tracks can quickly lead to a major collision that causes hundreds of injuries and deaths. Other issues that are more common, such as car door malfunction, can cause comparatively minor injuries like contusions and broken bones, but should still be investigated.

Compensation for Subway Accident Injuries

All individuals, whether they are passengers, bystanders or employees involved in the operation of the subway in question, should expect a safe environment when using the New York subway system. If you or a loved one has experienced an injury related to an accident that occurred on or near a subway train in New York, it is advised that you seek legal counsel as soon as possible in order to pursue appropriate compensation.
