Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! Today, we're diving into a crucial topic: dog bite injuries. Dog attacks happen more frequently than you might think, whether you're out for a walk or visiting someone's home. These incidents can lead to serious injuries and trauma. So, let's break down what you need to know if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation.
We'll discuss the scenarios where dog attacks commonly occur. Why there's no "one-bite rule" in Missouri, meaning that a dog owner can be held responsible for an attack even if their dog has never shown aggression before. And what immediate steps you should take. Regardless, if you ever need legal assistance with a dog bite injury or any personal injury matter, don't hesitate to reach out.

Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! Today, Eric highlights the unique challenges and considerations involved when dealing with brain injuries sustained at work. Brain injuries in a workplace setting may not always be immediately apparent. It's crucial to promptly report any suspected brain injury to your employer, failure to report promptly may jeopardize your ability to seek compensation.
Navigating the workers' compensation system for brain injuries can be challenging. Disability settlements for brain injuries in workers' compensation cases may not reflect the true extent of the injury's impact, underscoring the importance of seeking independent medical evaluation and legal representation to ensure fair compensation.

Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and it's an opportunity for us to recognize the impact that brain injuries have on many people's lives. Brain injuries can have various effects, including physical, cognitive, and emotional problems. Concussions are one of the most common types of brain injuries, and while they can range from mild to severe, any injury to the brain is significant.
Demonstrating the impact of a brain injury in legal proceedings often involves gathering evidence from witnesses who knew the injured person before and after the injury. Additionally, neuropsychological assessments can help assess cognitive function and guide treatment plans for brain injury survivors.
Remember, you only get one brain, so let's do everything we can to keep it safe and healthy.
