Louisville Contusion Attorneys

If you have suffered a contusion caused by a traumatic head injury, the Louisville contusion attorneys at Sampson Law Firm could help you pursue compensation from the parties responsible.

If your head injury was the result of another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, you have the right to pursue an injury claim against them.

That is why the caring and experienced attorneys at Sampson Law Firm are here to help.

Why You Need an Attorney

Even the most straightforward lawsuit can be confusing and stressful for a person without legal knowledge and experience, and a contusion lawsuit is never simple. It is likely wrapped up in other battles, such as car accident or premises liability claims, which can make identifying the responsible party and building a cogent, convincing claim difficult. On top of this, if you are suffering from a contusion, you are likely not in your right mind. You should be focusing on your health and recovery, not trying to represent yourself in a lawsuit. An experienced contusion lawyer can take this stress off your shoulders and handle everything for you, making sure you get the highest compensation possible with minimal pain on your end.

What Is a Contusion?

A contusion is a localized bruise on the brain’s surface that can be relatively minor or life-threatening. They can cause swelling and a hematoma, which is bleeding in the brain that then clots. Swelling generally occurs 48 to 72 hours after the head injury. Contusions are dangerous because they also increase cardiovascular risks, such as heart attacks.

Contusions occur somewhat regularly when a person suffers from a head trauma that causes the brain to knock against the skull and break blood vessels.Contusions can be accompanied by a loss of consciousness, but do not necessarily have to be. Some symptoms of contusions include:

  • Difficulty understanding speech
  • Challenges speaking
  • Problems staying focused
  • Personality change
  • Irritability
  • Issues with memory
  • Difficulty with coordination
  • Numbness

If you have suffered a head trauma, you should seek medical attention right away, as a contusion can be life-threatening and should be diagnosed by a doctor. Then, contact Sampson Law Firm as soon as you can to start your legal claim.
