As members of the Indiana Brain Injury Association, we know it is extremely important to have your brain injury assessed by a medical professional who is skilled at evaluating brain injuries. Even if your doctor says your CAT scan or MRI looks good, you still may have disabilities related to your brain injury. Sometimes only psychological testing by a neuropsychologist will reveal the full extent of your injury.
A traumatic brain injury is a type of closed head injury caused by a severe impact to the head. Leading causes of TBIs are motor vehicle crashes, including car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents , falls, sports injuries, and violence. People who survive brain injuries can suffer from cognitive, behavioral, and emotional complications. Many require long term care planning.
Anoxic brain injuries occur when the flow of oxygen to the brain is interrupted. Strokes, near-drowning incidents, medical mistakes, and birth injuries are among the causes of anoxic brain injuries.
Brain injuries can cause devastating disabilities, including paralysis and coma. Brain injuries can also cause changes in personality, irritability, movement disorders, mental confusion, and a host of other symptoms.
The effects of severe brain injuries can include significant cognitive impairment, paralysis, coma, and death. Even mild brain damage can cause major disruption in a person's thinking, memory, and personality.
Birth injuries can include both traumatic and anoxic brain injuries. The infant may develop cerebral palsy (CP) or Erb palsy (commonly misspelled: Erb's palsy) due to a brain injury sustained at birth. These birth injuries require a lifetime of care.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
