Understanding CTE: Legal Support from Zeidwig Law
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative brain disorder linked to repeated head traumas. At Zeidwig Law, under the guidance of esteemed trial attorney Gary M. Zeidwig, we are committed to educating our community about personal injury law and advocating for individuals affected by such injuries. Understanding CTE is crucial for prevention, early detection, and securing rightful compensation for those impacted.
Understanding CTE
CTE develops over time due to recurrent brain injuries, leading to the accumulation of tau protein, which disrupts normal brain function. This condition is often associated with athletes involved in contact sports and military personnel exposed to blast injuries.
Symptoms of CTE
CTE manifests through a variety of symptoms, including:
· Cognitive Impairment: Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired judgment.
· Behavioral Changes: Increased aggression, impulsivity, and erratic behavior.
· Mood Disorders: Depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
· Motor Dysfunction: Balance issues, tremors, and difficulty with coordination.
These symptoms often emerge years after the initial injuries, making early detection challenging.
Legal Implications of CTE
Individuals diagnosed with CTE resulting from another party's negligence may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Establishing liability requires demonstrating that the responsible entity failed to protect the individual from known risks associated with repeated head trauma. This has led to significant legal actions, such as the NFL's settlement with former players suffering from brain diseases linked to concussions.
