An Experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney Representing Riders that Suffer Brain Injuries
Head and brain injuries are some of the most common injuries in motorcycle accidents. Most people believe that this is caused by riders who fail to wear helmets. However, every year thousands of cyclists suffer traumatic brain injuries, even though they were wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Serving the Interests of Cyclist that Suffer Brain Injuries
I have been representing cyclists with traumatic brain injuries since I founded The Karney Law Firm in 1979. I recognize that a brain injury can have a wide range of effects. The common perception of a brain injury that it leaves a victim visibly disabled. However, this is far from the reality. Most people that suffer a brain injury or closed head injury have only minor or no physical disabilities.
Many people involved in motorcycle accidents do not even realize that they have suffered a brain injury at the time of the accident. It is not uncommon for emergency room personal to treat motorcycle accident victims without realizing that they suffered a brain injury. Mild traumatic brain injuries can have a wide range of symptoms:
- Memory problems
- Personality changes
- Cognitive deficits
- Speech problems including slurring words
- Loss of emotional control
If you blacked out after a motorcycle accident or were diagnosed with a concussion, it is important to consult a neurologist or neurophysiologist to ensure you have not suffered a brain injury.
When I handle a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or mild brain injury case, I work with neurosurgeons, life care planners, vocational rehabilitation experts, and economists to understand the physical and economic consequences of my client's injuries. I am committed to aggressively representing cyclists at pretrial settlement conferences and any necessary trials. My top priority is ensuring my clients and the families that support them have they resources to move forward with their lives.
