Brain Injuries, Amputations and Disfigurement:
As compared to amputations and injuries that disfigure someone who has been in a motorcycle accident, a brain injury may be more difficult to evaluate. If you have blacked out after an accident or hit your head in any way, we strongly recommend that you see a neurologist with regards to your injuries. If after an accident you show signs of: memory problems, personality changes, cognitive deficits, speech problems, or the loss of emotional control, you may have suffered a brain injury. Whether the injury is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a mild brain injury we take both cases very seriously. We will get you to see a neurologist, speak to life care planners, vocational experts and other invaluable experts to help better assist in evaluating your injuries.
If after a motorcycle accident you have had a body part amputated, we understand that this type of injury can be devastating and will assist you in finding the best local rehabilitation specialists in your neighborhood. Further, because the injury may prohibit you from going to work, we will speak to your insurance company to get you the lost wages you may be entitled to so that you can continue to assist and support your family. It is common in these types of injures to not only have the physical injury but also a mental one. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is very common with amputees. And if the need for a psychological exam is needed, we will obtain one for you so that you receive the most amount of compensation for the injuries you have sustained.
Finally, disfigurement is also very common in motorcycle accidents. During a motorcycle accident, hitting the pavement or another vehicle can cause road rash, tailpipe burns, cuts or other nasty injuries. These injuries sometimes can be permanent requiring either skin grafts, stitches or other surgical intervention. Again, we are very sensitive and attentive to a client’s needs and those needs of his or her family. We will assist you obtaining for you the best plastic surgeon if plastic surgery is needed.
