A brain or spinal cord injury can change your life in an instant. Anyone who suffers a catastrophic injury is going to need significant, long-term therapy and rehabilitation. To ensure that you have the financial resources to meet the challenges ahead of you, you should seek the help of an experienced personal injury attorney.
At the law firm of Gilder & Howell, P.A., in Southaven, our lawyers represent brain and spinal cord injury victims in north Mississippi and west Tennessee. We offer a free initial consultation to review your case and discuss your options.
Identifying Brain Injuries After an Accident
Brain injuries often go undetected after an accident. Family members are often the first to notice that something is not right about their loved one after an accident. Symptoms of a brain injury include:
- Short-term memory problems
- Irritability or personality changes
- Difficulty performing tasks
- Headaches
- Sleeplessness
These symptoms may or may not get better with time. It's important for your loved one to see the proper doctors who can diagnose brain injury and provide proper treatment and therapy.
Spinal Cord Injuries and Insurance Settlements
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you should not accept any insurance company settlement offer without speaking to an experienced attorney. The money you are offered may be a drop in the bucket compared to the financial resources you will need to care for a loved one's needs in the future.
Our lawyers will negotiate with all possible sources of insurance coverage. We will also negotiate with your health insurance company, which may have a lien on your personal injury recovery. We often help our severely injured clients create special needs trusts to protect their personal injury settlement and still retain the right to receive benefits such as Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
