If you have been injured through no fault of your own, call the Bronx law firm of Feiner & Lavy today!
That ringing in your head after you bang it on something when you stand up can be bad, but when you hit your head really hard in a slip and fall accident, that ringing in your head can go on for weeks or months.
Many times, the clients who visit Feiner & Lavy, one of the best slip and fall law firms in the Bronx, come to us with head injuries suffered in slip and fall or trip and fall accidents that are no fault of their own. Someone else created a condition out of negligence, and we have to do right by our client to ensure they get the best settlement possible to take care of this potentially debilitating injury.
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents happen often, and many times it isn’t the fault of the person who is injured. They are walking down an aisle in a supermarket or department store and there is a hazard, like a puddle from a leaky freezer or air conditioner, and they fall hard on their back, hitting their head with a lot of force on a tile floor. Or someone doesn’t clear their sidewalk in the winter or allows leaves or other debris to accumulate, creating an unsafe condition, and our client has a nasty fall, going headfirst into a sidewalk, granite step or concrete retaining wall. These surfaces are unforgiving, and it the person hits their head hard enough, they can suffer a concussion.
What is a concussion? We have encountered this question often. A concussion is actually a mild traumatic brain injury that is caused when a blow to the head results in the brain moving back and forth a victim’s head very rapidly. The movement is violent, and the symptoms include memory loss, headaches, concentration problems, slurred speech and the loss of balance and coordination. These effects can potentially last for weeks, and if you do work where you are in construction or your job requires fine motor skills or excellent memory and focus, this could affect your performance and cost you your job.
Other, more severe effects can include a loss of certain senses, including smell, taste, hearing or vision loss. This can also affect your ability to do a job. Consider this: If you are a chef, or even if you just bake for fun, is it really possible for you to do your job effectively without a sense of smell or taste?
These are the kind of real-life problems that can be caused by a head injury or concussion when someone suffers a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Seeking medical attention right away is important, because the earlier you are diagnosed, the earlier your treatment can begin. You may need to take time off of work, go through tests like an MRI or CT scan to see the level of damage to your brain, and a program to help you recover full brain function will need to be implemented.
Like any medical treatment, these cost money. The symptoms you experience after an incident may stop you from driving, so you may need to arrange for transportation. You may require professional help at home, you could lose wages, sustain a diminished quality of life, and experience pain and suffering.
At Feiner & Lavy, we are committee to helping our clients to recover the maximum possible settlement when they are injured so their life can be either completely restored or as much of their life as possible can be returned to them. This is a commitment we make to you from the moment we meet.
