Boston is a collection of twenty-one unique neighborhoods that Colleges, Universities and Sports Programs are proud to call home. The historic capital has grown to become a world-class city as its vast cultures and programs attract those from all over the globe.

Boston, Massachusetts is the most densely populated City in New England with a population approaching 600,000. Boston is also the hub of major highways such as Interstate 90 and 93 as well as Routes 1 and 3. Being the most densely populated City in New England the risk of a brain injury occurring in an accident in Boston is significantly greater than in less populated regions.

If you, or a loved one, have been involved in an assault, sporting accident, car accident, construction accident, slip and fall, or any other occurrence based on the negligent or reckless acts of another, take certain steps to protect yourself. First, seek any necessary medical attention immediately. Second, try and document the symptoms you or a loved one are experiencing. Finally, listen to your doctor’s recommendations; complete any and all tests they recommend.

Brain injuries can occur as a result of a blow or jolt to the head, as well as penetrating brain injury that interrupt the normal function of the brain. “Mild” brain injuries can also lead to and result in severe symptoms.

Brain injuries can occur as a result of numerous occurrences. Here at Sheff Law we have identified the most common causes of brain occurrences are falls, which account for 28% of these injuries. Another leading cause of brain injures are motor-vehicle accidents, which account for 20% of all brain injuries. With the roads becoming increasingly congested, the risk of serious brain injuries continues to rise as a result of accidents on the road.

An individual being struck by heavy objects accounts for 19% of brain injuries, and victims of assaults make up 11% of reported brain injuries or traumas. Other varying circumstances account for 22% of brain injuries, but can lead to the same severe consequences and symptoms.

There are many symptoms that can develop from any brain injury, and they are: mood changes, headaches, blurry vision, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, minor concussions, nausea, vomiting, loss of speech, loss of memory, loss of coordination and emotional instability.
