An Ohio Brain Injury Attorney Needs To Know More
Than Just The Law.
Ohio Brain Injury Lawyer - Cleveland Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys –
Call The Right Attorney - Cleveland, Ohio
The moment we get the call that someone we love
was in a serious accident, we immediately pray to let our loved one
live. Some times when our prayers are answered, it comes with a
steep cost – the life left to our love one is not much of a life at
all. Serious traumatic brain injuries will let us hug and hold our
loved ones, but the person we knew; the person we laughed with; or
debated politics with is gone forever. Beyond the staggering
emotional impact, a spouse is not only left to attempt to replace
the lost earnings of a debilitated partner and essentially raise a
family alone – but is now further required to provide the extensive
attention needed by the injured love one. The impact to a parent’s
life after a child suffers a brain injury is even more pronounced
and devastating. At The Spitz Law Firm, you will be
represented by a Cleveland brain injury lawyer that not only knows
the law, but understands the emotionally devastating effect on your
life. With everything that is going on, you need the right
brain injury attorney to help you.
According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately 1.4
million people suffer brain injuries every year in the United
States, of which 50,000 die and 235,000 are hospitalized. The Center
for Disease Control further reports that there are currently 5.3
Americans that need help performing their daily activities because
of brain injuries.

A Brain injury can result in loss of intellectual
capacity, paralysis, memory issues, severe headaches, depression, weakness,
loss of body function, speech impairment and loss coordination. Following
brain injuries, victims’ sense of sight, sound, taste, touch and smell can
suffer a decrease or increase in sensitivity, or a complete loss altogether.
Additionally, a brain injury can substantially change the personality of a
loved one – making a previously happy go lucky person into a short-tempered
spiteful person. A previously active person can become perpetually fatigued
after a brain injury. But, the affects of a brain injury largely depend on
the severity of the injury, and the location of the affected part of the
brain.
There are two primary classifications of brain injuries,
traumatic and anoxic. Both types of brain injuries can have devastating effects.
Traumatic brain injury, also referred to as TBI, is damage to the
brain resulting from a sudden physical force. Traumatic brain injuries are
typically sub-divided into two categories. If the trauma results in damage to
the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the trauma is considered a
penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries,
where the skull is not obviously damaged but the brain is still injured. This
occurs when a blow or impact causes severe back-and-forth shaking, such as
whiplash. In turn, the brain, suspended in cerebrospinal fluid, is thrust into
interior of the skull, which, unlike the exterior of the skull, is ribbed and
contains bony structures. The impact or impacts can result in bruising or
tearing of the microfibers that make up the brain. As a result, brain
injury occurs.

While blunt trauma to the skull is the most common cause of
traumatic brain injury, prolonged lack of oxygen, or the anoxic (also called
hypoxic) brain injury, also can have equally severe and life threatening
consequences. Brain cells are vulnerable to severe damage because of the brain’s
high-energy consumption and lack of energy storage. The brain makes up two
percent of the body’s weight, but it uses up 20 percent of the total body oxygen
consumption and 15 percent of the cardiac output. Brain cells require a constant
flow of oxygen. A reduction in oxygen supplied to the brain, even though there
is adequate blood flow, is referred to as hypoxia. The decreased blood flow to
the brain, and therefore less oxygen going to the brain, is called ischemia.
Hypoxia or ischemia will cause brain cell damage in normal metabolic conditions.
Anoxic or hypoxic brain damage can occur in the following manner: 10 to 20
seconds after cerebral blood flow (blood flow to the brain) ceases,
unconsciousness occurs. Unconsciousness is followed almost immediately by a flat
EEG (electroencephalogram). In 80 seconds, the pupils become fixed and dilated.
Five minutes after the blood flow ceases, it is generally believed that
irreversible brain damage begins, but the precise point at which reversible
brain damage becomes irreversible is not currently know, and may differ under
varying circumstances.
Handling traumatic brain injury cases not only requires
legal expertise, but medical experts to substantiate the claims and to
testify ably at trial. Your brain injury lawyer at The Spitz Law Firm, has a

brain injury and present qualified medical expert opinion at trial together
