Brain Injuries

It may have happened in an automobile or pedestrian accident. You may or may not have experienced a serious fall. Construction sites are often dangerous and injuries at these sites can be severe. Or your brain injury may be as simple as experiencing an excruciating headache prior to slipping into a semi conscious state. Brain injuries can also be difficult to diagnose when they are closed injuries. Negligence in an emergency room and failure to properly treat such injuries can cause further damage. It is important that the appropriate tests are performed in a timely manner in an effort to diagnosis the problem. This may require an X-Ray or even a CT Scan of the Brain, to determine the exact problem. Then Dr's must quickly decide on the best course of action to take and at what point to perform surgery on the patient.
