Brain damage cases are probably a brain injury lawyer’s biggest challenge. Many people who have brain damage display little or no physical indication that all is not as it should be.

Brain damage cases are instigated because a person has suffered some form of trauma, which impacts on their life negatively. In brain damage cases this trauma could be as a result of a blow to the head, or the trauma may have been caused by a lack of blood to the brain.

In some instances a tumor will be the reason behind a brain damage compensation claim.

Brain damage can manifest itself in several ways. Typical types of brain damage are amnesia, aphasia, agnosia, and visual neglect. Not one of these types of brain damage has any physical appearance.

Brain damage cases create a set of tests, for the sufferer, and for the sufferer’s lawyer.

For the sufferer, there is obviously the daily anguish of living with a condition that is difficult to describe, and to properly vocalize the associated problems.

Unfortunately, because there is invariably no physical sign of any affliction, the opposing parties of a brain damage compensation claim will often do all they can to minimize the condition. This is where the sufferers’ lawyer’s testing will begin.

Medical records are of extreme importance in brain damage cases, from before, and after the trauma. Personal testimony from friends, relatives, and other community members who know the sufferer are also vital. Physical records, for example: photographs; will also help to establish brain damage. Testimony from medical professionals, accident scene investigators, police who attended the scene of the accident, and any witnesses who may have seen the accident take place are all indispensable.

Although not exhaustive, or by any means complete, the preceding factors are vital to the case, and will form the base needed to represent the sufferers best interests.

For the brain injury lawyer, the collection and preparation of all the evidence required to gain money compensation for the sufferer is not a hit and miss affair, but a steady progressive collection, collation, and presentation of evidence.
