脑损伤误诊的危险

脑损伤越来越受到媒体的关注，并已成为职业运动员以及许多工作场所受伤者中一种无声流行病的一部分。

脑损伤，又称创伤性脑损伤 (TBI)，经常被忽视和误诊。其中一个原因是脑损伤不明显或不难看。没有鲜红色的石膏、没有缝线、没有跛行或明显的瘀伤。第二个原因是，更明显、创伤性或更容易诊断的损伤会得到所有人的关注。

一家致力于为客户提供服务的律师事务所

根据美国脑损伤协会 (BIAA) 主席的说法，创伤性脑损伤是我们国家目前面临的最容易被误解、误诊和资金不足的健康问题。大多数脑损伤都以脑震荡的形式出现。脑震荡通常是由突然直接打击或撞击头部引起的。这种对头部的撞击会震动大脑并导致其移动，从而造成瘀伤、血管损伤、脑内出血、脑内裂伤和/或神经损伤。大脑还可能遭受二次伤害，如肿胀、发烧和癫痫。

通俗地说，脑损伤会导致大脑无法正常工作。一些症状包括视力障碍、失去平衡、头晕、失去平衡或笨拙、思维混乱或感觉头晕目眩、口齿不清、恶心或呕吐、头痛、对光敏感、对噪音敏感、行动迟缓、耳鸣、行为或性格变化、注意力不集中和记忆力减退。许多这些症状表现得非常缓慢，进展也同样缓慢，尤其是在误诊和未治疗的情况下，从而导致误诊。事实上，轻微头部损伤的长期影响可能在事故或受伤后数周才会显现。

对于任何认为自己可能患有脑震荡或脑损伤的人来说，尽快寻求合格的医疗救治非常重要，尤其是因为当时症状可能并不明显。一个人等待就医的时间越长，康复就越困难。脑损伤的长期影响可能导致患上某些疾病的风险，例如阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏症、严重的脑部疾病、认知障碍、言语或交流障碍、情绪障碍（包括异常攻击性行为）、长期记忆丧失、偏头痛、成瘾、失眠，甚至自杀。

虽然脑损伤可能会改变一个人的生活，但好消息是，通过正确的诊断和治疗，脑功能可以得到改善，而且通常可以完全恢复。当脑损伤与工伤有关时，挑战会变得更加艰巨，因为报告要求非常严格，而且在事故或受伤后没有立即诊断出损伤，很难获得医疗护理和治疗。

If you hit your head, or think you suffered any type of head or brain injury while in the workplace, you must report it immediately and be specific about your symptoms.

例如，如果您出现不寻常的头痛、难以集中注意力或进行正常交谈或难以完成正常的日常任务，同时还出现上述症状，则必须立即报告。任何工伤赔偿索赔的关键是尽快正确记录所有伤害和问题。这包括在医疗机构或医院的初始报告中以及在可能的情况下在 C4 表格上提供正确的文件。如果您没有立即注意到这些症状，因为其他身体部位疼痛更严重，或者这些症状尚未表现出来，请确保在注意到这些症状后立即告诉您的医生或医疗服务提供者，并特别要求将这些症状记录在您的医疗记录中，并将您转介给专家。有关报告此类索赔的更多信息，请联系拉斯维加斯最好的工伤赔偿律师。

头部和脑部受伤不是开玩笑，因为如果不尽快诊断并正确治疗，它们可能会产生终生影响并发展成更严重的疾病。如果您对头部或脑部受伤有丝毫的担忧，请立即向医生报告。如果工伤赔偿案件中没有记录并要求将其包括在索赔中，则在索赔结案或经过相当长一段时间后，几乎不可能将其包括在索赔中。掌控您的生活，照顾好您的家人和未来，并立即报告所有头部和疑似脑部受伤。

如果您或您所爱的人在内华达州拉斯维加斯的事故中受伤，请立即联系我们的拉斯维加斯车祸律师，进行免费、无义务的案件评估。您提出索赔的时间有限。不要拖延！

Understanding Different Types of Boating Accidents

撰稿人： Aaron Taylor • 2024年7月31日

Boating is a fun activity, but it is not without its risks. Read this blog to learn about several types of boating accidents that can happen to you.

Two cars are involved in a car accident on the street.

WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT

撰稿人： Jimmy Howard, Esq. • 2024年7月1日

Every car accident happens fast and unexpectedly. The immediate moments after a car accident are adrenaline-fueled chaos. You may be in significant pain. Because of this, it is best to have a plan for what to do if a car accident happens before it happens. 1. Call the police immediately. Many times the at-fault driver will tell you, 'Let's not involve the police'. The at-fault driver might even offer you some cash right on the spot or offer to get your car fixed themselves if you do not call the police. Do not listen to the other person. The police will document what happened, and they will gather and exchange the necessary information among the drivers. But even if you have called the police... 2. Get information, especially regarding the other driver and their insurance. Even if you have called the police, collect all the information at the scene you can, especially regarding the other driver. Ask to take a picture of their driver's license and proof of insurance. The insurance information is critical to making a claim to get repairs or pay for medical expenses. Take pictures of their car, both the damage to it and the license plate. Take photos of your car, particularly the damage to it. Ask for the driver's address and/or phone number. Ask for witnesses' names and phone numbers or a business card. If you have called the police, you might think, well the police will get all that information, and that is true. But, what if the other driver just decides to flee before the police arrive? It happens. 3. Get medical treatment for your injuries as soon as possible. Commonly people feel pain after an accident but think it will heal on its own if they don't have an obvious serious injury, like a broken bone. Then after a few weeks of the pain not going away, they decide to seek care. The other driver's insurance company will call this a gap in treatment and argue you must not have been that injured if you waited so long to get treatment. Or, they may say you hurt yourself doing something else but want to blame it on the accident. These can be strong arguments against your case, particularly the longer you go between the accident and getting treatment. Get checked out as soon as possible after an accident if you are feeling any pain. 4. Call Craig P. Kenny & Associates and speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Our law firm has been helping Nevada car accident victims for almost 30 years. Our attorneys and staff have traveled the road of a car accident's aftermath every day for those 30 years. We are aware of laws, pitfalls, and windfalls that most people would not know. Just a few examples: Did you know there can be several layers of insurance available to pay for your medical treatment and pain and suffering after a car accident? Does it make a difference if the other driver was arrested for driving under the influence? What if you are working when you are in a car accident? Do you have a workers' compensation claim, a car accident claim, or both? What if the other driver's insurance company refuses your claim and you have to file a lawsuit? At Craig P. Kenny & Associates, we have dealt with all of these situations many times over many years. 5. Do not talk to or give statements to the other driver's insurance company. The other driver's insurance company has a legal obligation to protect their insured. When they take statements from you, they are trying to protect their insured and the insurance company's money. They are not acting as your friend. If you hire Craig P. Kenny & Associates, we will talk to the other driver's insurance company for you. We know what to ask, what to say, and what not to say. 6. Do not attempt to negotiate a quick settlement with the insurance company. This is what the other driver's insurance company wants you to do. Sign away all your future rights for a pittance. If it turns out that you have a hidden injury like a herniated disc in your spine that will cause you pain for the rest of your life and might require surgery, it is too late if you take their money and sign their paperwork. You released all claims, even if you did not know about the injuries at the time. The law does allow you to back out of such a deal for a short period of time. But, you have to revoke the deal in writing and send back the money quickly. Please have a plan of what to do if you are in a car accident before you are in a car accident. Make part of that plan to call Craig P. Kenny & Associates, where clients are treated with honesty and sincerity.

WHO WILL BAIL YOU OUT?

撰稿人： Senator Melanie Scheible, Esq. • 2024年6月3日

Understanding what bail is and how it works can be incredibly difficult and stressful when someone gets arrested. The concept of posting bail to get out of jail dates back centuries and has changed over time in the United States and Nevada. In its simplest form, bail is a refundable deposit that a person pays to get out of jail and gets back when they come to court. Have you ever test-driven a car without a salesperson? You may have been asked to leave your driver’s license or credit card with the salesperson before they handed you the keys to the car. The idea is that the dealership expects that your license or credit card is so valuable to you that you will come back for it, rather than abscond with their vehicle. The same is true of bail. The idea is that once someone pays the bail amount to the jail, they will want it back enough to come to their next court date. The purpose of bail -- to ensure a person’s return to court – has expanded to also include adding conditions of release that ensure the safety of the community. In Nevada, Judges are legally required to impose the “least restrictive means” necessary to ensure 1) the person will return to court and 2) the safety of the community. Posting a monetary bail is just one of many possible conditions of release. When someone is arrested in Nevada, they are entitled to a hearing on their custody status within 48 hours. That hearing is an opportunity for the person arrested, their attorney, the prosecutor, and the judge to review the facts of the case known at the time as well as the person’s criminal history. At this hearing, the attorneys may agree on release conditions, or they may each argue their position and the judge will decide. For example, one or both attorneys might suggest that the person be released on house arrest, or be released with a requirement for drug testing. Many people who are arrested on misdemeanor charges, like Driving Under the Influence, are released without a hearing and in less than 48 hours. Someone can also be released from jail in less than 48 hours by posting bail before the hearing. If your loved one has been arrested, you may be trying to decide whether to post bail or wait. Every case is different and the right decision varies for different families. What is important to remember is that if it has been less than 48 hours since your loved one’s arrest, the bail amount or release conditions may still change. An attorney cannot make any promises or guarantees about what will happen in your loved one’s case, but a good, local attorney can tell you what their experience has been in similar cases. Knowing what an experienced attorney has seen happen in similar cases, may help you make the right decision in your situation. Increasingly, courts across the country are moving away from monetary bail. Some courts are implementing robust reminder systems that automatically send emails or text messages reminding people about their court dates. Other courts have extensive monitoring programs that utilize technology like house arrest ankle bracelets, phone GPS, and fingerprint scanning to keep routine contact with people facing criminal charges. Some courts are offering people the choice between submitting to monitoring and posting a monetary bail. All of these policy choices are a crucial part of our justice system, which entitles everyone to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. If you, a friend, or a loved one has been arrested, please call me at 702-380-2800 for a free consultation.
