Michigan brain injury lawyers must a complete understanding as to the causes of traumatic brain injuries. A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury results when there is either an actual blow to the head or a force that causes and acceleration-deceleration movement of the head. The brain strikes the inside of the skull causing either localized or generalized damage. It is not necessary for a person to lose consciousness to suffer a brain injury, despite this contention from most highly compensated insurance company doctors. Closed head injuries occur from a number of possible causes, including automobile accidents, slip and falls accidents, motorcycle accidents, heavy machinery accidents, and other types of accidents.
Brain injuries are diagnosed all types of physicians, including neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeons. A person can suffer a significant brain injury even though and MRI or CAT scan show normal results. A diagnosis of a brain injury is often made by a neuropsychologist who administers a written battery of tests to the patient. The results of a properly administered and interpreted test are viewed as an authoritative diagnosis of the injury.
Symptoms commonly associated with a traumatic brain injury or closed head injury include the following:
· Coma
· Cognitive Impairment
· Language and Speech Impairment
· Memory Loss and Impairment
· Conduct Disorder
· Personality Disorder
· Loss of Concentration
· Loss of Problem Solving Skills
· Perception Problems
· Sleep Disturbance
· Headaches
· Blurred Vision
· Seizures
Michigan brain injury lawyers understand that these type of injuries have tremendous effect on an individual’s ability to lead his or her normal life. Changes in personality affect marriages, families, and friendships. Head injury patients are often unable to return to work and suffer a significant impairment of earnings and earning potential. Further, head injury patients often need expensive attendant care due to their condition. If the injury arose from a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian accident, there is often a Michigan No-Fault Insurance claim for benefits.
The injuries resulting from traumatic brain injuries are often permanent, cases involving brain injuries have substantial value for both jury verdicts and settlements.
There are many excellent support groups for brain injury patients in their families throughout the United States that promote treatment, prevention, and education. Most states have strong local chapters of the national associations, including a Michigan chapter.

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.

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.
