A traumatic brain injury occurs when the head experiences a blow, jolt, or sharp impact that penetrates the skull. A lack of sufficient oxygen to the brain can also cause a non-traumatic brain injury. Mild injuries can be silent and more difficult to detect, but they can also be dangerous.
If you’re nursing a brain injury from an accident you didn’t cause, contact an attorney to determine whether you’re eligible for compensation. The experienced New Jersey brain injury lawyers at Cordisco & Saile LLC will investigate the facts, gather evidence, consult experts, and build a strong case against the liable party.

Why Do I Need an Attorney if I Suffered a Brain Injury?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, brain injury is among the leading causes of disability and death in the country. The human brain controls mental and physical functions such as speech, memory, muscle movement, emotions, etc.
When the brain is injured, some of these functions might be affected, impacting the victim’s quality of life and ability to perform certain tasks. Recovery can take anywhere from a few weeks to months or even years. Healing will also likely involve costly medical treatment, surgeries, medications, or rehabilitation.
If your injuries resulted from someone’s failure to take reasonable care to avoid hurting you, you need an attorney. A brain injury lawyer thoroughly investigates who’s financially responsible for your injuries and holds them accountable through a claim. In some cases, there are multiple liable parties. Your attorney can identify all of them so you receive compensation to the fullest extent.
Insurance companies prefer to deal with brain injury victims who file a claim without a lawyer because it’s easy to convince them to accept a lower settlement than they deserve. Negotiating with the insurer and their defense team without an attorney often means missing out on recovering maximum damages.

Signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury to Watch Out For
Traumatic brain injuries are often called silent injuries because it is easy to miss the signs. For instance, most people don’t consider a concussion a brain injury and underestimate its possible impacts.
It’s important to note that some symptoms don’t manifest immediately after the accident and may take weeks to appear. If you’ve recently experienced a blow or jolt to your head, watch out for the most common symptoms of brain injuries:
- Mild traumatic brain injury: Signs you’re suffering from a mild brain injury include fatigue, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, sensitivity to sound or light, disorientation, loss of consciousness for a few minutes or seconds, concentration problems, memory loss, and sleep difficulties.
- Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury: Signs you’re suffering from a moderate to severe brain injury include numb or weak fingers and toes, loss of consciousness for minutes or hours, seizures, persistent headaches, slurred speech, confusion, coma, pupil dilation, nausea, repeated vomiting, and inability to awaken from sleep.
Types of Accidents That Cause Brain Injuries
Accidents that cause brain injuries can either be traumatic or non-traumatic. Traumatic injuries involve a jolt, blow, or penetrating object to the head, while a lack of sufficient oxygen in the brain causes non-traumatic injuries.
