Below our Portland brain injury attorney has explained the general classifications of brain injuries.
While there are several types of brain injuries they are most commonly separated into three categories mild, moderate and severe.
Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries
For someone to be categorized as having a mild traumatic brain injury they will have to have had a loss of consciousness or disorientation of 30 minutes or under. Difficulty processing information, headache, trouble remembering, mood swings, attention deficits and general confusion are all symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury. Concussions are the most commonly known form for this type of injury. If you have suffered from this form of brain injury in an accident hire the most skilled attorney Portland Oregon can offer in order to receive the compensation you are due.
Moderate Traumatic Brain Injuries
This type of traumatic brain injury is considered more severe. For someone to be diagnosed with a moderate traumatic brain injury they will have to have suffered a loss of consciousness of between 30 minutes to 24 hours. The symptoms have the ability to last for months at a time. These side-effects are very similar to that of a mild traumatic brain injury the difference is that they are often more aggressive and longer-lasting. There is even a risk of permanency with this classification of brain injury. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident that was not your fault and received this type of brain injury it’s time that you contact the most experienced personal injury attorney in Portland Oregon immediately.
Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries
Severe traumatic brain injuries are the most aggressive and extreme of all brain injuries. These injuries are frequently permanent and can even lead to death. Locked-in syndrome, minimally responsive state, akinetic mutism, vegetative state, persistent vegetative state and coma are all examples of severe traumatic brain injuries. While it is possible for someone to recover from a vegetative state or coma many of these severe brain injuries are irreversible and permanent. It can be difficult to tell when a person will recover or not from a severe traumatic brain injury because the brain is still such an unknown.

Client Reviews

Brian is the antithesis of every great lawyer joke I've ever heard. A brilliant keen and thorough mind in service of a giving heart and spirit.
As a small contractor we faced 3 years of frivolous legal attacks and stress. A disappointing reward for helping a homeless former tradesman. No fun having the sheriff knocking at the door with a deposition!
Brian calmly and steadily defended every desperate appeal looking to shake both us and the insurance company down.
I recommend him without reservation.
Don
Integrity, compassion, professional and always thinking!
When you need an attorney, you already feel vulnerable but he took such good care of our son. Grateful to have had him on our side.
The case was difficult. Most attorneys, in the category, look for the easy payout cases. Bryan still took this on. He and his wonderful staff, Michelle and Michael, took great care of me until the very end. I appreciate you, Bryan Dawson! You are definitely my hero!
