¿Qué es una lesión cerebral traumática?

Cuando su cabeza es golpeada con fuerza, por cualquier motivo, existe la posibilidad de una lesión cerebral. El cerebro es mucho más frágil de lo que pensamos. Un golpe en la cabeza puede causar daño físico al cerebro que es visible en los cambios conductuales, emocionales y psicológicos que ocurren después de la lesión.

¿Qué causa la LCT?

Los accidentes automovilísticos representan el 17.3 % de todos los casos de LCT en los Estados Unidos. Eso solo se ve superado por las “caídas”, que representan el 35,2 % de todos los casos. Los asaltos representan el 11 %, y el 21 % de los casos de LCT son de circunstancias desconocidas. Otro 16.5 % de las personas fueron golpeadas por o contra otra cosa y sufrieron una lesión cerebral. Como puede ver, los accidentes automovilísticos representan un número significativo de estos casos. Alguien que es víctima de un conductor negligente no se lesionó. Literalmente fueron atropellados por el vehículo de otra persona y, a su vez, sufrieron una lesión que de ninguna manera fue su culpa.

¿Cuánto le cuesta la LCT a la sociedad?

El costo de las lesiones cerebrales traumáticas en la economía es indignante. Solo en 2010, la LCT le costó a los Estados Unidos aproximadamente $ 76.5 mil millones. Eso incluye las facturas médicas escandalosamente altas de cuidar a alguien que sufre este tipo de lesión y la pérdida de trabajo que las personas no pueden hacer luego de sufrir la lesión. Es un costo demasiado alto, pero el costo humano que conlleva una lesión cerebral es mucho más deprimente.

¿Cuáles son los efectos de una lesión cerebral traumática?

El cerebro es un órgano físico al igual que el corazón. Puede dañarse físicamente y requerir cirugía para repararlo, como cualquier otro órgano. La parte trágica de esto es que el cerebro regula las emociones, el comportamiento y otros aspectos intangibles de quién es una persona, hasta su núcleo. Por lo tanto, cuando alguien sufre una lesión cerebral, puede experimentar un cambio drástico en la personalidad o sentirse emocionalmente diferente (o estar insensible a las emociones en general, dependiendo del área de su lesión). Los efectos físicos pueden incluir pérdida de control muscular, dificultad de coordinación y problemas del habla.

¿Qué tiene que soportar un paciente con LCT?

Alguien que tiene una lesión cerebral traumática severa probablemente necesitará atención médica extensa a largo plazo. Puede que su vida nunca vuelva a ser “normal”. La incapacidad permanente significa que la persona no podrá cuidarse económicamente porque no puede trabajar. Pueden tener problemas para comunicarse y expresarse con su familia, o pueden sufrir cambios de comportamiento que los meterán en problemas más adelante en la vida. Es trágico por todos lados.

Son solo las dificultades financieras con las que un abogado especializado en LCT podría ayudar. Su abogado especializado en LCT puede asegurarse de que las personas que lo lastimaron a usted o a su ser querido acepten la responsabilidad por lo que hicieron, para que usted o su ser querido puedan obtener la ayuda financiera que necesitan para continuar con su vida. Un abogado especializado en LCT también puede obtener una compensación por su daño físico y moral.

¿Cuáles son los efectos a largo plazo de la LCT?

Una lesión cerebral leve puede provocar efectos a corto plazo, pero una lesión grave probablemente dejará a la víctima con consecuencias de por vida. Puede haber problemas con la memoria, problemas con los patrones de pensamiento, períodos de confusión, momentos en los que el pensamiento se ralentiza y mucho más. Y muchas personas que sufren de estas lesiones a menudo tienen cambios de personalidad que literalmente los hacen parecer personas totalmente diferentes. Una persona muy comunicativa y extrovertida podría retirarse repentinamente de sus seres queridos, y puede ser muy doloroso ver los cambios.

¿Quién puede ayudar?

Su médico, terapeuta y otros profesionales médicos, así como su familia y amigos amorosos, son la fuente principal de consuelo mientras hace frente a una lesión cerebral traumática. La persona que puede ayudarlo a obtener una compensación para pagar todos estos recursos es un abogado especializado en LCT que se especializa en responsabilizar a las personas por causar este tipo de lesiones.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
