Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer in Baton Rouge & Lake Charles, Louisiana

During an auto accident or any collision that involved a serious impact to the head, a traumatic brain injury may occur when an external force traumatically injures the brain.

In fact, there are often several classifications of a traumatic brain injury which are based on severity, mechanism, or other features occurring in either a widespread or specific area.

As one can imagine, traumatic brain injuries are common during auto accidents due to the fact that a tremendous force is generated during the collision.
