Idaho Brain Injury Lawyer
Decades of Legal Knowledge for Brain Injuries, Head Injuries and Loss of Consciousness
The loss of consciousness (LOC) can be a key factor in brain and head injury lawsuits. For instance, if loss of consciousness does not occur, proving a concussion occurred may become difficult. Proving that brain damage occurred also becomes challenging; usually, temporary loss of consciousness accompanies serious and legally actionable head injuries.
The attorneys of the Boise law firm of Carty Houst are recognized leaders in brain injury law in Idaho. We have handled dozens of brain, closed-head and traumatic brain injury cases and are skilled at resolving key legal challenges common to brain injuries.
Experienced in Investigating Loss-of-Consciousness Legal Challenges
Sometimes, accident victims don't remember losing consciousness. This type of memory lapse, commonly referred to as " post traumatic amnesia", is common.
We can visit the emergency room where post-accident treatment occurred and interview nurses and other health care professionals. Often, accident victims will respond with the answer "I don't think so" to the question of whether they lost consciousness. Further investigation may reveal that loss of consciousness did occur.
Unmatched Experience in Idaho
Loss of consciousness is a serious indicator of injuries. Physicians use the Glasgow Coma Scale to measure loss of consciousness, and even a loss of consciousness of a few minutes is serious. A 20- to 30-minute loss of consciousness is highly serious. We have handled personal injury cases involving a coma, and can provide immediate answers and legal counsel following loss of consciousness-related injuries.
