All brain injuries, irrespective of their nature or gravity, present significant potential consequences. Brain injuries may cause substantial physical suffering, cognitive limitations, and permanent behavioral changes. The secondary emotional effects on the victim’s family can be equally harmful.
Although nothing can make you whole again after losing so much to a TBI, there is some justice to be had. If the negligence of another caused you to suffer a brain injury, then that negligent party should be held responsible through an injury claim. Brain injury victims may be entitled to financial compensation for their past and future medical bills, lost salary, pain and suffering, and additional forms of economic and non-economic damages.
Insurance companies oftentimes make these types of cases extremely difficult, and actually recovering compensation is not easy. Consequently, you should allow a highly experienced team of TBI attorneys to work on your case for you. The award-winning Salisbury brain injury lawyers at Portner & Shure, P..A, have successfully advocated on behalf of brain injury victims throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland for more than 30 years. Our attorneys have received various awards for their talented advocacy. In addition, the countless five-star reviews from our prior clients illustrate our commitment to excellent service and our legacy of success.

What are the Symptoms of a Brain Injury?
Brain injuries are often the consequence of a devastating accident, such as a car crash or severe fall. The extent of a brain injury will range from mild to severe. Albeit some brain injuries prove less serious than others, all brain injuries and suspected brain injuries should be treated as significant.
Symptoms of a brain injury include:
- Migraines and headaches
- Nausea and vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Behavior changes
- Memory loss
- Seizures
- Loss of consciousness
- Impaired decision-making capabilities
This list is not exhaustive, and if you or your loved one exhibits any signs of a brain injury, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
What are the Effects of a Brain Injury?
A brain injury can cause both physical and cognitive consequences, such as:
- Dizziness, headaches, and balance difficulties
- Vision, hearing, or memory loss
- Speech issues
- Insomnia or oversleeping
- Depression and anxiety
- Coma
These concerns may be short-lived or persist through a brain injury victim’s lifetime. The financial burdens imposed on families due to a brain injury can prove economically devastating, too. The price for medical care and treatment for the lifelong effects of a brain injury may be substantial. The cognitive and physical consequences of a brain injury typically require long-term therapies, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, and neuropsychology. Furthermore, many brain injury victims are unable to resume their employment, which in turn diminishes their earning capacity.
