Handling All Types Of Back And Spine Injury Claims In New Jersey

The National Spinal Cord Injury Association estimates that about 8,000 people in the United States sustain injuries to the spine each year.

Symptoms Of Brain Injuries

Auto collisions, falls and other types of accidents can cause mild or severe brain injury even when there is no outward sign of damage. Family members may attribute the symptoms of traumatic brain injury to other causes and fail to seek the help their loved one needs.

Brain injuries often go undiagnosed and untreated following an auto accident, a construction accident, a slip-and-fall or other trauma. These are some symptoms that your loved one may have suffered in a brain injury:

  • Memory or concentration problems
  • Difficulty in following directions
  • Sensitivity to light and sound
  • Problems with balance or walking
  • Irritability or mood changes
  • Sleeplessness or sleeping more than normal

Family members often assume that symptoms will disappear in time. Unfortunately, brain injuries may be permanent and cause lifelong challenges. Our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation into your family member’s injury and work with medical experts to get a full picture of the impact of his or her injuries. Then we will work hard to ensure that your loved one has access to the medical care and financial compensation he or she needs.

Degrees Of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified into degrees based on their severity, injury depth and the layers of skin affected. Developing an understanding of the different degrees is not only crucial for determining the appropriate treatment and care, but also to support and strengthen your injury claim.

The degrees of burn injuries are:

  • First-degree: Considered the mildest form of burn injuries, first-degree burns only affect the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis). They typically cause redness, pain and minor swelling, somewhat similar to a mild sunburn. These burns usually heal within a week or so, often without leaving scars. However, they can be painful and disrupt daily activities.
  • Second-degree: These burns involve the epidermis and the second layer of the skin, known as the dermis. They are more severe than first-degree burns and can cause blisters, intense pain and redness and the skin may appear wet or moist due to the presence of fluid. Healing can take several weeks, and some scarring or pigmentation changes may occur.
  • Third-degree: These are serious injuries that destroy the epidermis and the dermis, extending into the underlying tissues. They often appear white, charred or leathery and may be painless due to nerve damage. Third-degree burns require immediate medical attention and often need surgical intervention, such as skin grafts, to promote healing and reduce scarring.
  • Fourth-degree: Considered extremely severe, fourth-degree burns extend deep beyond the skin layers into muscles, tendons and bones. These injuries can be life-threatening and require emergency medical treatment. The affected area may appear blackened or charred, and damage to bone, muscle and tissue can be permanent.

If you suffered a burn injury due to a motor vehicle, a workplace injury or other incident, the Ginsberg & O'Connor, P.C., team can help. Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the complexities of catastrophic injury cases and can help you secure the compensation you deserve.
