Seizures After Brain Injuries

Michigan brain injury lawyers often represent clients who suffer post-traumatic seizures. These are from all types of trauma, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and slip and falls. Understanding the problem and its affects on the patient is important in providing the best representation to the client.

Seizures that occur in relation to head injury can be classified as Immediate (or Impact), Early (within several days to weeks of the injury), or Late (months to years after the injury, after recovery to the best expected level of function).

Head injuries can be broadly classified based on extent of injury (mild, moderate, or severe) and on the type of injury suffered (missile or “penetrating” trauma, and closed or “blunt” trauma). Mild injury generally refers to the absence of injury to the brain or damage to the skull, and few neurologic signs. The classification of type of injury can be a little confusing, because blunt trauma (e.g. a blunt object, like a bat, striking the skull, or the skull striking a blunt object, like a fall onto the pavement), can produce ‘open’ head injuries with skull fractures and the entrance of skull fragments or foreign bodies into the cranial cavity. The exact mechanism of injury is not always known, but is critical in understanding the extent and manner of brain injury.

Acceleration-deceleration and rotational forces, associated with blunt trauma, penetrating trauma, and the effect of rapid movement of brain matter against the skull’s interior, can cause shearing injuries, to blood vessels and nerve fiber tracts.

As with all epileptic conditions, a proper diagnostic work-up is essential. The treatment of post-traumatic epilepsy is often complicated by the fact that there may be more than one area of focal brain injury, and thus more than one area capable of generating epileptic discharges. Certainly, the best treatment rationale begins with prevention. The proper use and application of helmets and seatbelts significantly reduces the risk of head trauma, associated with sports-related, bicycle, motorcycle, and motor vehicle accidents.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Michael M.
Southern California

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
