Traumatic head injuries sustained in a New York car accident can result in serious, lifelong health conditions. Sometimes, major head trauma can cause epilepsy and seizures. The more serious the brain injury, the greater the chance the victim will develop a long-term or even lifelong issues. The first two years are most critical in treating and rehabilitating serious disorders after a brain injury caused by a head trauma.
The most common cause of a traumatic brain injury is a car accident. Just as the body is bruised when it strikes a hard surface, the brain too can be bruised if it is jostled abruptly or intensely. When the injured brain begins to heal, the bruised area begins to harden. This hardening disrupts surrounding cells, which can cause seizures. Dealing with epilepsy or a seizure can disrupt one’s life and instill a fear of going about life normally. Those who suffer from such a disorder are not allowed to drive, may need increased supervision, and will have to undergo further medical care and rehabilitation.
If you or someone you love suffers from epilepsy or seizures stemming from a head injury caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Examples of negligent driving include reckless driving, distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, and failure to follow the rules of the road. Negligent drivers can face criminal charges in some cases. In addition, these drivers can also be held financially liable for the injuries, damages and losses they cause. Head injury victims and their families not only go through enormous emotional stress, but also financial strains as they figure out how to pay for their medical and rehabilitation expenses, which could continue for many months or even years.
