Understanding the Signs and Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Posted on by YostLaw

Traumatic Brain Injuries can be life-altering events for both the individual and for the injured person’s family. These severe head injuries often result in permanent disability and a lifetime of medical care. While treating a Traumatic Brain Injury (“TBI”) is often difficult, the first and most important step is recognizing the signs and symptoms of a TBI and getting immediate medical attention.

Traumatic Brain Injuries can result from of a fall, a blow to the head, or any other concussive force that damages brain tissue. In more than 50% of TBI cases, a person will require surgery in order to repair brain tissue that was damaged due to either hematoma (bleeding inside the brain,) or contusions (bruising of the brain tissue.) Brain tissue is extremely sensitive, and even minor damage can have a devastating impact on a patient’s mental and physical well-being.

The symptoms of a TBI can be difficult to predict and may vary depending on what part of the brain was impacted, as well as whether the injury is qualified as mild, moderate or severe. In most cases, symptoms of a TBI will fall into one of four major categories:

  • Thinking/Remembering
  • Physical
  • Emotional/Mood
  • Sleep

Common signs & symptoms in these four categories that may be an indication of a TBI include:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Difficulty concentrating, thinking clearly, or remembering new information
  • Grogginess or lack of energy
  • Headache, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting
  • Sensitivity to light and noise
  • Trouble maintaining balance
  • Irritability, extreme anxiety or depression
  • Changes in sleeping patters, difficulty falling asleep or sleeping more or less than normal

After a Traumatic Brain Injury, time is of the essence. If left untreated, even a mild TBI can lead to serious and permanent brain damage.

If you or a loved one has suffered a fall, blow to the head, or any other injury that may result in a TBI, watch carefully for these symptoms and seek medical treatment immediately. Only a trained medical professional can say for sure whether or not a patient has sustained a TBI. The most important thing you can do is see a medical professional as quickly as possible after a head injury.

If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury at work, at school, in a car accident, or due to any other circumstance that was not your fault, call The Yost Legal Group right away.

Posted on by YostLaw

On September 24, 2015 a third grade student at Gwynns Falls Elementary School in Baltimore was fatally injured after sustaining a severe head injury while at school. Details about the case are still emerging. Attorney Tom Yost, of The Yost Legal Group is investigating the case on behalf of the family. It is still unclear as to how a child who fell in a hallway could sustain a skull fracture. The timeline from when the trauma occurred and when the school assistant principal called the ambulance has not been explained. More details will become clear in the coming days and weeks.

Understanding Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injury Claims

Posted on by YostLaw

The childbirth process should be a joyous and memorable experience for all families; but, not when there is a birth injury or trauma.

At The Yost Legal Group, we represent families who have suffered a serious birth trauma or birth injury. We are committed to raising awareness about birth injuries in the U.S. One of the most common birth injuries we see is cerebral palsy.

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a broad term referring to any number of neurological disorders that result in the impaired development of a child’s brain function, motor skills, muscle control and more. These impairments do not worsen over time, but the signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy do become more and more apparent as the child continues to age and grow into his body. Cerebral palsy can take many different forms and it can impact children differently. That said, almost all forms of cerebral palsy are the result of a birth injury or birth trauma.

Tragically, cerebral palsy is one of the most common disabilities affecting children in the United States. Here are some statistics that demonstrate the high occurrence of cerebral palsy in the U.S:

  • It is estimated that cerebral palsy impacts between 2 and 3 out of every 1,000 live births in the United States each year.
  • Approximately 10,000 babies born each year will develop cerebral palsy in their lifetime
  • Nearly 764,000 Americans currently live with some form of cerebral palsy
  • Between 1,200 and 1,500 preschool-aged children will be diagnosed with some form of cerebral palsy annually

How is it Caused?

Cerebral palsy is the result of brain damage suffered before, during, or immediately after the birthing process, when an infant’s brain is still developing. Symptoms and manifestations of cerebral palsy can vary greatly depending on the extent of a child’s injury, as well as when and how it was sustained.

There are four types of brain damage that can cause cerebral palsy:

  • Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): Damage to brain tissue which impairs the brain’s ability to relay nerve impulses that control motor function. Symptoms most commonly associated with this type of damage are intellectual impairment, hearing and visual impairment, and stiffness in the muscles or limbs.
  • Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Oxygen deprivation to the brain resulting in the destruction of brain tissue. Symptoms that can result from this type of injury include epilepsy, cognitive and motor-skill impairment, and developmental delay. Signs and symptoms of this type of injury are usually not evident until a child reaches three or four years of age.
  • Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH): Severe bleeding inside the brain, sometimes resulting in a hematoma, a condition which can damage and kill the surrounding tissue. Depending on the location, duration and severity of the bleeding, the brain’s ability to control cognitive and motor function may be permanently damaged.
  • Cerebral Dysgenesis: This is not a brain injury per se, but rather in-utero brain malformation or abnormal brain development. This can occur at any time during fetal development and has a wide array of possible symptoms.

Protecting Your Rights as a Victim

At The Yost Legal Group, Baltimore Birth Injury and Personal Injury law firm, we are committed to protecting the rights of people whose babies were injured before, during or immediately after the birthing process.

Important Facts About Cerebral Palsy: Signs & Symptoms

Posted on by YostLaw

Every year thousands of expectant parents and new born babies suffer birth injuries that might have been prevented.

One of the most common birth injuries is cerebral palsy. At The Yost Legal Group, we want to help spread awareness about cerebral palsy by providing facts and resources to help families.

Does my Child have Cerebral Palsy?

It can be extremely difficult for parents and even for doctors to recognize the early signs of cerebral palsy in new born babies. Some children do not demonstrate the early signs of cerebral palsy until they are three or even four years old.

However, some early signs to watch for that may be evidence of cerebral palsy include:

  • In Babies Younger than 6 Months: Your baby feels either extremely stiff or extremely floppy when held. When picked up and cradled, your baby’s legs may become stiff and cross or scissor, and your baby’s head may lag.
  • In Babies Older than 6 Months: Your baby cannot roll over in either direction; cannot bring his or her hands together; or, your baby has difficulty bringing his or her hands to his mouth, and cannot reach out with both hands simultaneously.
  • In Babies Older than 10 Months: Your baby cannot crawl on all fours; or, your baby either crawls by reaching out with one hand and leg while dragging the other, or moves by either hopping on his knees or scooting on his buttocks.

Cerebral palsy can take many forms, meaning that a child may have cerebral palsy even if he or she does not demonstrate all of the above behaviors. One of the most reliable ways for you as parents to spot the early signs of cerebral palsy is to closely monitor your child’s development.

If you notice that your  baby is not reaching certain developmental milestones within your pediatrician’s timeframe, such developmental delay could be an early indication of cerebral palsy.

What is Developmental Delay?

All children will grow and mature at their own pace, but there are certain markers of movement and motor function that indicate that a child is developing at a normal rate. Developmental Delay occurs when a child fails to reach specific motor skill milestones in a timely manner. Below are some important milestones for motor-skill development, along with when they usually occur:

  • Around 6 weeks: Child can begin to smile
  • Around 3 to 4 months: Child can reach for toys and roll on to their back
  • Around 6 to 7 months: Child can sit up on their own
  • Around 10 to 14 months: Child begins to walk

It is important to note that if your child has not reached one or more of these milestones in the suggested time frame, it does not necessarily mean they have cerebral palsy; however, these milestones often offer a strong early indicator of the disability.

What are the Signs & Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy?

If you notice any of the above signs or early indications of Developmental Delay, it is important to see a doctor right away. When examining a child and attempting to detect cerebral palsy, doctors will focus on eight clinical signs related to:

  • Muscle tone
  • Movement Coordination and Control
  • Reflex
  • Posture
  • Balance
  • Gross Motor Function
  • Fine Motor Function
  • Oral Motor Function

Each one of these eight clinical signs has certain criteria and symptoms that doctors will closely monitor during an examination. Doctors will examine a child to see if there is evidence of developmental impairment in any or all of these categories.

Protecting The Rights of Families and Children

Cerebral palsy is a permanent injury that often requires a lifetime of medical care and therapy. The cost of care for a child with cerebral palsy or any birth injury can be astronomical.

Study Reveals 210,000 Americans Die Each Year Because of Medical Mistakes

Posted on by YostLaw

Every year, millions of Americans rely on the skill and experience of surgeons, doctors and medical professionals to perform operations that can save, or at least greatly improve, their lives. Unfortunately, despite the high level of training and dedication exhibited by the majority of medical professionals, accidents do happen.

At The Yost Legal Group, Baltimore Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death law firm, our attorneys are all too familiar with the risks and serious injuries that can result from even the most common and routine surgical procedure.

When patients suffer injuries or complications after undergoing surgery, the results can be catastrophic. Surgical error, wrong diagnosis, post-surgical complications and other types of medical mistakes affect thousands of Americans every year.

One 2013 study conducted by the Journal of Patient Safety estimated that as many as 210,000 Americans are killed every year from medical mistakes in hospitals that could have been prevented.

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) ranked medical error as the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.

These statistics about medical mistakes in the United States are staggering. There is now some research that could provide patients with the information necessary to avoid risky surgical procedures or under-qualified doctors.

A new study from USA Today and the independent journal outlet ProPublica attempts to provide patients with data on how they can lower their odds of suffering complications, revision surgeries or other medical errors during common surgical procedures.

The study, known as the Surgeon Scorecard, examines complication rates associated with eight types of common elective medical procedures. This data is applied to over 16,000 surgeons from across the country, and determines what is known as an “Adjusted Complication Rate.”

This statistic allows patients to independently research the likelihood of suffering post-surgical complications when seeing a specific surgeon, or undergoing a specific procedure. ProPublica and USA Today state that they hope the end result of this effort will be to give patients more control over when, where and with whom their surgeries take place.

By giving patients access to more information, these journals hope that doctors and hospitals will be held to a higher standard of accountability, and rates of medical malpractice and surgical error will drop throughout the country.

Here are a few statistics that reveal how this study was conducted:

  • USA Today and ProPublica took their patient sample from Medicare billing records for in-patient hospital stays between 2009 and 2013.
  • The study examined eight common, elective surgical procedures including knee replacement, hip replacement, gallbladder removal, lumbar spinal fusion, prostate removal, and more.
  • During the course of this study, it was found that between 2009 and 2013, 63,173 Medicare patients were readmitted to hospitals with post-surgical complications.
  • These 63,173 re-hospitalizations cost U.S taxpayers an estimated $645 million.
  • Between 2009 and 2013, 3,405 Medicare patients died during a hospital stay for an elective surgery.

At The Yost Legal Group, we take patient safety and recovery extremely seriously. Our attorneys have years of experience fighting to defend the rights of innocent people who were harmed by all types of Medical Malpractice, including Wrong Diagnosis, Surgical Error, Defective Medications, Defective Medical Devices and more.

Common post-surgical complications can include:

  • Blood clots
  • Infection
  • Severe Pain
  • Less healing than anticipated
  • Revision surgery

If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical mistake contact The Yost Legal Group. We will speak with you and answer any questions you may have.

Call The Yost Legal Group right away at 1-800-YOST-LAW (967-8529) to receive a confidential and no-obligation consultation with one of our experienced Baltimore Medical Malpractice lawyers.  There is no fee or cost to you unless you receive a settlement or jury award.

If you have been injured through no fault of your own after undergoing a medical procedure, do not delay. Strict time limitations govern when claims must be filed.  Call The Yost Legal Group today. Our lawyers will fight to defend your rights as a victim and provide the answers you seek.

National “Heads Up” Program Raises Awareness about Head Injuries in High School Sports

Posted on by YostLaw

With another school year just around the corner, many high schools across Maryland have already begun summer training sessions for student athletes. Fortunately for parents, coaches and players, there will be an increased emphasis this year on preventing concussions and head injuries for high school athletes, specifically football players.

A new national initiative called “Heads Up Football” will help educate coaches on the best techniques and latest methods of protecting their players from sustaining serious brain injuries.

Heads Up Football will be running concussion-prevention workshops for coaches throughout Maryland this summer leading up to the 2015/16 high school football season. These workshops combine on-field training with classroom-style learning courses that will instruct coaches on new methods to teach and play the game in a safer way.

All coaches will be required to familiarize themselves with topics such as proper hydration and helmet fitting, as well as the Center for Disease Control’s Concussion Recognition Protocols.

One of the biggest points of emphasis of the Heads Up Football program is quick recognition of concussion-like symptoms in players, as well as on the need to remove any athlete from the field immediately if a coach or parent believes they may have sustained a head injury.

Heads Up Football warns coaches and parents to be on the lookout for the following symptoms, as they may be signs of a concussion or even a Traumatic Brain Injury:

  • Headache or “pressure” in head
  • Sensitivity to light or noise
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Feeling confused, sluggish, groggy or hazy
  • Concentration or memory problems

Concussions and brain injuries are extremely dangerous, especially for young people whose brains are still developing. Traumatic Bain Injuries, which can be caused by extreme or repetitive head trauma, are notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, and may result in permanent disabilities and a lifetime of medical care. Tragically, it is estimated that millions of high school athletes across the country may be exposed to these types of serious head injuries every year.

The Center for Disease Control estimates that approximately 3.8 million athletes between the ages of 8 and 19 reported sustaining a sports-related concussion in 2012. This number represents a 50% increase in the amount of reported sports-related concussions compared to the same age group 10 years ago.

Part of this increase may be due to increased knowledge about the symptoms of concussions leading to more treatment and reported cases. However, it is also clear that many head injuries remain undiagnosed when players attempt to “play through the pain” and remain in a game after suffering a concussion.

At The Yost Legal Group, Baltimore, Maryland Brain Injury and Personal Injury law firm, we urge parents of high school athletes to take the time to familiarize yourself with the Center for Disease Control’s concussion fact sheet. No game is more important than a child’s long-term health, especially when it comes to head and brain injuries.

If you or a loved one has sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury, concussion, or any other type of serious brain or spinal cord injury in an accident that was not your fault, call the experienced Baltimore Brain Injury lawyers at The Yost Legal Group.

Call 1-800-YOST-LAW (967-8529) to receive a FREE, confidential and no-obligation consultation with one of our attorneys. Our lawyers will work closely with you and your family to protect your rights, handle all of the details of your case, and seek the justice that you deserve.

Medical Research Studies Can Be Very Harmful

Posted on by YostLaw

The Baltimore Sun recently published a very informative article on the risks and oversight of medical testing on human subjects. By Meredith Cohn and Jean Marbella, The Baltimore Sun.

“When University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers were looking for volunteers to test a vaccine for Ebola, which was killing thousands of people in West Africa, Andrea Buchwald raised her hand in Baltimore.

‘Scientific curiosity,’ the 29-year-old graduate research assistant in Maryland’s department of epidemiology said, explaining why — along with her trust in the system governing treatment of human subjects — she was willing to be experimented on.

‘Consent for clinical trials is a very stringent process,’ Buchwald added. ‘You’re expected to do your best to ensure your participants are fully informed and doing this of their own volition. Things have changed a lot since the 1940s.’

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

Posted on by YostLaw

At The Yost Legal Group, Baltimore, Maryland Accident and Personal Injury law firm, we advocate for the rights of injured motorcycle riders. Attorney Tom Yost himself is a huge motorcycle enthusiast.

We take rider safety extremely seriously, which is why it is so important to the attorneys at The Yost Legal Group to stress the importance of wearing a motorcycle helmet as bikers return to Maryland’s roads and highways this summer.

The most important thing a biker can do to protect themselves is to wear their helmet. Here are some statistics that illustrate the life-saving power of modern motorcycle helmets:

  • Maryland is one of 19 states in the U.S that enforce mandatory helmet laws for all riders, regardless of their age.
  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the lives of 34 Maryland riders were saved by a motorcycle helmet in 2012 alone.
  • Studies have shown that riders that wear a helmet are 29% less likely to be killed in an accident and 3x less likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury than riders who do not wear helmets.

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and The Yost Legal Group is doing our part to bring attention to this important campaign by sharing some important facts and information about motorcycle helmets.

To highlight the importance of wearing a helmet, we took a look at how the motorcycle helmet has evolved and improved over time. Learn more about the evolution of the motorcycle helmet, and make sure you choose a helmet that is right for you before you get back on your bike this summer!

Spring is Crucial Season for Motorcycle Safety Awareness

Posted on by YostLaw

Every year, the return of spring and warm weather brings out hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to Maryland’s roads and highways. Riding a motorcycle is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Baltimore and the surrounding areas. However, with more motorcyclists returning to the road, spring is also an extremely important opportunity to discuss some basic facts about motorcycle safety.

  • Nationwide, 4,957 motorcyclists were killed in traffic accidents in 2012.
  • In Maryland, there were 62 motorcyclist fatalities in 2013, the most recent year for which data is available. The number of fatalities in Maryland decreased from 78 in 2012.
  • Of those 62 fatally injured riders, only 5 were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that a total of 34 lives were saved in Maryland motorcycle accidents through the use of helmets.

Maryland is one of 19 states in the U.S that currently enforces universal motorcycle helmet laws on all of its citizens. In Maryland, riding a motorcycle without a helmet can result in a fine of up to $500. While wearing a helmet cannot prevent traffic accidents from happening, they are a motorcyclist’s most crucial piece of safety equipment. Choosing the correct motorcycle helmet for you or your loved one is the first step towards practicing proper motorcycle safety.

There are three types of helmets to choose from:

  • Full Face: Covers the entire head and provides the maximum amount of protection. Full Face helmets also offer eye protection and reduce wind noise.
  • Three Quarter: Covers the back, top and side of the head but not the whole face. Most models also feature eye shields.
  • Half Helmet: Cover the top of the head only and offer the least protection.

Wearing and properly securing your helmet is far from the only factor that impacts the safety of motorcycle riders. As with all motor vehicles, the proper training and experience is a vitally important factor in ensuring that motorcyclists arrive at their destinations safely. Before getting on a motorcycle, be sure you undergo the proper training with a licensed Maryland motorcycle instructor.

Another crucial part of motorcycle safety places shared responsibility on both motorcyclists and passenger vehicle drivers. Driver inattention is a tragically common factor in many motorcycle accidents. All motorists must remember that motorcycles have a right to safely utilize roads and highways as well.

Car drivers should:

  • Be aware of motorcyclists at all times on the roads
  • Check your blind spots frequently
  • Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and any motorcycles in front of you
  • Especially watch when making a left hand turn

Remember, small road hazards such as potholes, downed tree branches or other debris don’t mean much for passenger vehicles, but could mean the difference between life and death for a motorcyclist.

Below are a few other key statistics to keep in mind as motorcycle season kicks into high gear:

  • Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists were 5X more likely to be injured or killed in a crash than other drivers.
  • Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists were approximately 26X more likely than passenger car occupants to be killed in a crash.
  • 1 in 25 motorcycle accidents results in a fatality.

If you or a loved one has been a victim of a motorcycle accident that was caused by another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering and more.

Dealing with insurance companies and expensive medical bills is a difficult and draining process. When injured, you need to focus on your recovery, which is why you need to turn to the experienced motorcycle accident attorneys at The Yost Legal Group.  Our legal team is highly experienced in all Maryland driving laws and statutes, and will compassionately and thoroughly advocate for your rights as a victim.
