Paradise Valley Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

Every year, 99,000 Americans experience a brain injury that requires a hospital stay and ultimately causes a permanent disability.  We have a Paradise Valley traumatic brain injury attorney who focuses on people who have this type of brain injury and we have the experience to help them protect their personal and financial interests in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury.

About 50% of brain injury victims may have a good recovery or moderate disabilities. When a victim suffers a traumatic brain injury they are examined on the Glasgow scale, which is as follows:

Eye opening Verbal response Motor Response
4 = Spontaneously 5 = Oriented 6 = Follows commands
3 = To voice 4 = Confused 5 = Localizes pain
2 = To pain 3 = Inappropriate words 4 = Withdrawal to pain
1 = None 2 = Incomprehensible sounds 3 = Abnormal flexion
  1 = None  

The final score will show the  severity of the injury.  When a victim of traumatic brain injury can follow commands and is entirely aware of their surroundings and has spontaneous eye opening scores they receive 15.  Patients with a Glasgow score of 8 are classified in a state of a coma.  Most victims of traumatic brain injury score in the 11-13 range.
