When an individual suffers a traumatic blow to the head, his or her brain can be injured. A brain injury can have short- and long-term negative effects on your health. If you have suffered a brain injury in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, work with the Khan Law Firm to pursue a personal injury claim.
Brain injuries that are not the result of a hereditary, congenital, or degenerative condition is known as an acquired brain injury. When a brain injury causes its victim to suffer from altered brain function, it is known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
