Billionaire Paul Allen’s, latest donation will expand his commitment to $500 million total for further brain research.  At a recent news conference Allen, the Microsoft co-founder with Bill Gates states: “As someone who has been touched by the impact of neurodegenerative diseases-my mother has Alzheimer’s -there’s both a fascination in basic research and the hope we can move things forward”

We thank and appreciate Mr Allen’s generous half billion dollar donation to better understand the brain with this new research.

At Rosen & Associates Attorneys at law, we counsel those suffering with the effects of head injuries including headaches, concussions, and PTSD. Car accidents can damage the brain leaving long term consequences. New research is throwing light on the subtle harmful effects of mild traumatic brain injuries such as reoccurring severe headaches, insomnia and decreased mental sharpness and memory.

Victims of car or motorcycle  crashes with head impacts must seek prompt medical attention. For moderate crashes without obvious bloody injuries, it is tempting to just wait and see if mild concussion, headaches, etc simply improve over time. However as medical science suggest, brain/head injuries cannot be ignored and one must avoid the  “walking wounded”  or “tough it out” old fashion approach.

As the new advances in medical research are discovering, Brain  neuron cells are very complex and their molecular machinery to process information critical. As the NY times article warns: Still, researchers have learned very little about the causes of brain disorders.

For those seeking legal help for accident car crash injuries, our office can help educate clients on important steps to assure proper medical care for head or brain injuries from a car crash. Prompt and reasonable medical care can also help insurance companies document injuries and provide for greater cash settlements without long claim delays or denials.

Most cases handled with “no out of pocket costs”- pay only if you win, contingency fee arrangement.

Medical studies note that traumatic brain injuries, of even mild severity, can persist beyond the typical 3 month recovery period. Recent studies with children up to age 15 reported various symptoms of headache, fatigue, inattention and forgetfulness for up to a year following concussion and mild traumatic brain injury. This was reported in a recent Fox News report regarding two medical studies.

At Rosen & Associates, Attorneys at Law, we educate our clients that symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury can persist following a concussion. Victims of car crashes can receive compensation when they suffer persistent concussion symptoms if verified by their doctor. It is important to discuss such symptoms with ones doctor when receiving treatment following a car crash if concussion is suspected.

Motor vehicle accidents can produce head injuries which may not initially be obvious if no external signs of bleeding are detected. Mild to moderate head injuries may be missed where other, more painful injuries, demand greater attention. Often times victims of car crashes have severe neck spasms, shoulder pains, or knee strains and ignore symptoms of headache, disrupted sleep, and loss of mental sharpness.

Do not overlook the effects of a few second loss of consciousness following a head trauma. As attorneys helping car accident victims we often receive delayed reports of post concussion syndrome from clients suffering these more subtle symptoms but failed to report them to their doctors due to their focus on other severe pains.

See article in WebMD regarding post concussion syndrome.

Also see slideshow at WebMD showing head injuries and brain concussion.

Lawyers helping accident victims to fully recover must educate their clients, that the subtle symptoms of post concussion syndrome should not be ignored and obtain prompt medical attention.

Whiplash from rear-end crashes may be prevented from head restraints with good geometry.  A injury victims specific vehicle safety tests from the Insurance Institute Highway Safety may predict their neck exposure to whiplash from an accident. As Attorneys seeking fair honest settlements under the Law, your complementary Legal case evaluation may consider the safety rating of the  year and model vehicle involved in the crash.

PTSD can effect an injured, and combat stressed, individuals ability to cope with the challenges of driving with-in the law. For victims of injuries and combat, or other stresses, seeking psychological counseling and therapy can help restore a more normal life. At Rosen & Associates we assist as attorneys to help secure qualified medical and psychological rehabilitation services for those seriously affected. As victims of accidents the law will provide compensation for such PTSD Therapy.
