Can a Brain Injury Be Long Term?

May 20, 2019

Brain Injury

When life takes a turn and someone suffers a serious and traumatic brain injury, it can be difficult to understand what comes next. Fortunately for some, the effects they experience are treated and the symptoms may be relieved in a short time period.

However, for others, they may not be quite as lucky and the symptoms experienced from a traumatic brain injury may last a lifetime. Here are some of the unfortunate problems that individuals can experience due to the long-term symptoms of a brain injury.

Delays In Development

Did you know that the human brain stops developing around the age of 25 or so? Because of this, when an injury occurs, it can cause serious delays in development as a result. There are a number of problems that can arise as a result of this, including the following:

  • Difficulty making specific decisions
  • Trouble in social settings
  • Problems with controlling behavioral changes
  • Loss of memory or ability to learn

Impact On Lifestyle

Because some of the most severe brain injuries can result in plenty of behavioral and learning effects, it is important to understand what changes the damage may have on the injured party’s life. For instance, if the brain injury causes constant fatigue or blurred vision, it may impact the ability to drive.

If the brain injury results in serious social issues, it may impact a person’s ability to work or go to school, depending on the age. These problems can be long term and the individual may be unable to properly heal.

“They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

“Paul Matiasic represented me in an accident case where I almost got ripped off by the insurance company. The case took a little longer, but Paul and his team (Justin White) never gave up on me. They called/email every week to make sure I was feeling okay and gave me the status of the case. I felt at ease dealing with them. They are very human and care about their clients more than the money. They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

Paul Matiasic is a superb personal injury attorney!

“Paul handled a case for me about eighteen months ago. It took a year to bring the recalcitrant insurance company to the table. Once there Paul was inspiring beyond his years. Strongest negotiator I have ever seen. A real treat to watch him in action. I found Paul to be prompt at returning phone calls, honest, fair and of the highest character. I would recommend him with no reservations.”

We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture.

“If it were not for Paul stepping to help with our case, we feel that it would not have been resolved as quickly and as efficiently as it was handled. We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture. Thank you, Paul!”

You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!

“If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend The Matiasic Firm. This was a first for me and I will always remember the experience of working with Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson in pursuing our wrongful death claim. I was turned down several times and then was referred to this firm. After presenting Paul and Scott with the facts as I saw them, they took on my case. The two attorneys as well as their staff was professional and tentative it felt as if I was their only client. We started the case in 2015 and I was advised from day one how difficult it would be but I was kept informed along the way. Any time I had a question or needed clarification Paul or Scott was there. In 2017, a settlement was reached. I just can't say enough of how pleased I was to have been their client. I will recommend Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson to anyone in need of legal service. You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!”

“Paul Matiasic was amazing and got me a settlement that satisfied me!”

“I found Mr. Matiasic online and he was the only one of three other lawyers who responded wanting more info. The others did not want to persue the case, thinking it hard to prove. Mr. Matiasic was the only one who asked to meet with me personally to discuss the case and it was only with Mr. Matiasic asking questions and explaining to me the what we needed to prove, that I was able to give him the solid information (photos) that resulted in a successful settlement. He worked with and for me from the initial contact in May 2007 until the settlement in Dec 2007, keeping me appraised at every step of the negotiations. I was more than pleased with the result.”
