Wilmington Delaware Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer

A Traumatic Brain Injury is a direct result of an external force being applied to the cranium as well as its intracranial contents. The cranium is the part of the skull enclosing the brain. Intracranial contents consist of the brain, the covering meninges and cerebrospinal fluids. Damage to these areas can result in temporary or permanent impairments, functional or cognitive disability, decreased motor skills and psychosocial maladjustments. As a brain injury of any type is a life changing event it is in your best interest to consult with a Delaware Brain Injury Law Firm.

Brain Injury Effects

The effects of a brain injury can be very complex and they vary from person to person. Generally the aftermath of a brain injury is contingent on the severity of the injury, the amount of mechanical force exerted at the time of injury and the part of the brain injured. A skilled Delaware Brain Injury Attorney will be able to help determine the value of a Brain Injury claim based on the extent of the injury after the accident.

Assessing Severity of a Brain Injury

Prompt examination & evaluation of a brain injury is extremely important. Expedited assessment & treatment can aide in minimizing the effects of such an injury. There are several diagnostic tests used to determine the severity of a brain injury. Two of the more common are:

Glasgow Coma Scale (GSC) which defines extent of brain injury within 48 hours of the injury occurring. It is based on response to verbal & motor stimulus and the score ranges from 3-15. The lower the score the more severe the injury.

Ranchos Los Amigos Scale assesses cognitive function. It evaluates level of head injury sustained. The levels go from Level 1 to Level 8. Again, the lower the level the worse the injury to the victim.
