Virginia neurological brain injury attorneys

Neurological brain injury lawyers in Virginia who always stand by our clients

The human brain is remarkable. Beyond controlling our body movements and regulating our internal organs, the human brain originates artwork, technology, architecture, literature, music and more.

Our brains are amazing, but they are also delicate. Many factors can cause a person’s brain to stop functioning properly. Infections, diseases, accidents, chemical exposure, and environmental factors can all contribute to neurological injuries.

A neurological brain injury can cause cognitive damage and physical disabilities that require lifelong medical treatment and in-home nursing care.

These injuries can be overwhelmingly expensive. If you or a loved one is experiencing neurological injuries, the experienced Virginia personal injury lawyers at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys can help.

What causes neurological brain injuries?

Our brains are encased inside a heavy skull, but a sharp blow to the head or upper body can still cause serious damage. Explosions, car accidents, physical assault, and gunshot wounds can all result in trauma that injures the brain.

Another serious threat to our brains is oxygen deprivation. An accident that prevents the brain from receiving oxygen for just a few minutes can cause permanent damage. Infections such as encephalitis and bacterial meningitis also harm brain tissue.

Environmental hazards that may cause brain damage include chemicals and airborne pollutants. Paint and toys that contain lead are harmful, especially for children. Fortunately, laws were passed several years ago to remove lead from our environment, but paint with lead can still be found in older houses.

Genetic disorders, strokes, tumors, aneurysms, and diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s also cause neurological damage.

Factors that contribute to neurological brain injuries include:

• Loss of oxygen
• Physical injuries
• Near drowning
• Smoke inhalation
• Environmental hazards
• Infections and diseases
• Birth injuries
• Pesticides and other chemicals
