Southaven, Mississippi, Brain Injury Attorneys

The dangers of traumatic brain injuries are present in every community in the United States, including small towns like Southaven, Mississippi. In fact, such injuries are seen frequently in otherwise safe suburbs like Southaven. Workplace accidents, car crashes and injuries on the football field can all lead to such serious head injuries.

The scariest thing about head injuries is that something that at first may seem minor, can quickly turn into a life-threatening problem. The unpredictability of head trauma means that if you’ve sustained a blow to the brain, it’s critical that you seek immediate medical treatment. Damage caused by brain swelling is often irreversible and it’s all too common for someone to initially appear fine after an impact but then quickly deteriorate.

According to the CDC, it’s estimated that 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each and every year. Such injuries are incredibly dangerous and are estimated to be responsible for a third of all injury-related deaths each year. Victims require lengthy and expensive medical treatment and rehabilitative care and the resulting injuries can plague them for the rest of their lives.

A common cause of such traumatic brain injuries is concussion. Concussions happen when a sudden force is applied to a person’s head. This force jostles the brain and leads to swelling. Concussions frequently occur in the case of sporting events, with children being at a special risk of injury.

Another situation where people in Southaven might suffer a serious head injury is in a car accident, even if the accident is relatively minor. Traumatic brain injuries occur when there is a sudden acceleration or deceleration within a person’s skull. Rear-end crashes are especially dangerous because they combine head injuries with a sudden rotation in the brain, something that makes an already dangerous head trauma much worse. Brain bruises and bleeding are common in car accidents and should be immediately checked out by a doctor.

Workers in Southaven are also at risk for concussions and other head injuries. Those who work in manufacturing plants or other industrial settings must remain on guard for potential brain injuries and the lasting damage they cause. Those who are engaged in physical labor should be aware of some of the following common causes of workplace head injuries, including: injuries from falling objects, slips, falls, improper use of equipment, malfunctioning machinery and improper safety procedures.

bIf you or someone you love has suffered a head injury, it’s important that you reach out to a Southaven brain injury attorney who has the experience necessary to properly handle your case. You shouldn’t have to suffer through medical bills and loss of work alone; a skilled attorney can help try to get you the justice you deserve. The attorneys at The Stroud Law Firm have years of experience and have successfully obtained compensation for our clients who have been injured by other’s recklessness.
