New Jersey & Pennsylvania Traumatic Brain Injury From Car Accidents: Your Unique Case

If you or a family member has suffered a traumatic brain injury in a New Jersey or Pennsylvania car accident, you are not alone: auto accidents account for fifty to seventy percent of all traumatic brain injuries in the U.S (Brain and Spinal Cord website). Despite the high numbers of accidents resulting in traumatic brain injury, every situation is different, and while you're not alone in your pain, you should receive answers to questions regarding the unique factors of your accident and injuries. Although this article describes some of the different types of injuries associated with traumatic brain injury and auto accidents, it is not a comprehensive list and could not possibly account for every factor affecting your Philadelphia, Jenkintown, or New Jersey accident. For free resources and information concerning your particular case, contact Cooper & Schaffer online or toll-free at 888-545-4755.

Unlike acquired brain injuries, traumatic brain injuries result from sudden impact or trauma, occurring in various types of collisions and other types of accidents. If you have sustained a brain injury in Philadelphia, Chester County (West Chester and Paoli), Delaware County (Media), Montgomery County (Norristown), Berks County (Reading), Camden County, Bucks County, King of Prussia, other parts of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, you may have suffered one of the following associated injuries:

• hemorrhaging
• tissue damage
• contusions
• concussion (which is, in fact, a mild traumatic brain injury in and of itself)
• whiplash (while some cases of whiplash may be more minor, the indirect trauma from whiplash can result in permanent damage to nerves and tissues)
• nerve damage
• spinal cord injuries
• neck injuries
• paralysis.

Whether you have suffered one of the above injuries or conditions or another type of associated injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, time away from work, and medical expenses. Many victims of Philadelphia, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania traumatic brain injury are more concerned about rehabilitation and recovery than they are obtaining financial compensation, and healing should remain their number one priority. Obtaining compensation through the help of an experienced and successful personal injury attorney, however, is often the best way to keep one's focus on healing because the lawyer handles the monetary matters of the injured.
