Nebraska Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

Any blunt force blow to the head can result in serious damage to the brain. Even apparently minor head injuries can create serious problems for the victim, especially if he or she has a prior history of concussion. To help make sure that your claim for head and brain injuries is properly evaluated and presented for compensation, contact Omaha brain injury lawyer Larry R. Demerath for a free consultation.

With 35 years of experience with the presentation and proof of serious injury claims on behalf of Nebraska accident victims, personal injury attorney Larry Demerath is careful to consider the possibility of brain trauma in any accident case that involves a blow to the head. In the case of closed head injuries accompanied by other fractures or internal injuries, the head injury might not even be considered as a major element of the overall trauma, until mood changes and personality disorders become apparent later.

In the most severe brain injury cases, most often involving skull fractures and gross trauma to the brain itself, the loss of cognitive function, memory, or motor skills can represent a serious and permanent disability that will require long-term care and treatment. Less obviously severe brain injuries can also cause problems for the victim. At the Demerath Law Office, our experience with the investigation and presentation of brain injury claims can help ensure that even subtle symptoms will be considered and developed as a component of your damages demand.

Head and brain injuries are common consequences of such negligence cases as the following:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• ATV accidents
• Construction accidents
• Farm accidents

If your injury accident involved a blow to the head, the possibility of brain damage cannot be dismissed lightly. Contact an experienced brain injury lawyer at the Demerath Law Office for a free evaluation of your claim.
