Brain Injury Attorneys in Waterbury

Serving Clients Throughout Connecticut

If you recently experienced a head injury, you may have suffered brain damage. Unlike a broken bone, brain damage is extraordinarily complex and difficult to identify, and your Emergency Medical Technician, nurse, or even doctor might not have been properly trained to diagnose it. Because emergency rooms are often hectic environments, you may have been prematurely released if your initial symptoms disappeared. Even if you did receive a proper diagnosis, your insurance company could disregard your condition and refuse to cover your treatment.

At the Law Offices of James A. Welcome, our legal team has more than 15 years of experience in personal injury litigation. Whether we take on a medical professional, an insurance company, an employer, or any other liable third party, we will devote our time and resources to helping you obtain the treatment and compensation you need.

Why You Need a Skilled Brain Injury Lawyer on Your Side

Because the most noticeable symptoms can fade within a few days, many don’t realize the extent of their injury. But even if they aren’t as readily apparent as a bruise, a limp, or unrelenting pain, they can still produce severe and lasting consequences for your long-term health and happiness.

According to the CDC, a traumatic brain injury may cause a variety of short- or long-term effects, including issues with:

• Your senses: fuzzy or blurry vision, poor depth perception, or dizziness and loss of balance, often resulting in headaches or nausea
• Your cognitive abilities: difficulty concentrating, focusing, reasoning, or remembering (either short-term or long-term)
• Your emotions: changes in emotional experiences and expressions, from mood swings to significant personality changes
• Your sleep patterns and general energy level: high levels of fatigue or difficulty staying awake, falling asleep, or staying asleep
• Language: trouble communicating and interpreting language, both written and oral

If you do not receive the care you need, these effects could worsen with time or become permanent.

Symptoms of brain damage can affect your ability to maintain relationships, obtain a college education, hold down a job, and, ultimately, live a long and rewarding life. Because we understand the gravity of your situation, we will work tirelessly to help you hold liable parties accountable and obtain the medical care you need to cope with this pain and, if possible, achieve a full recovery.
