Washington Injury Law Blog

I read an interesting blog post on Georgia Injury Lawyer Blog about a new treatment method being developed for people who suffer traumatic brain injuries in car accidents or other serious injury causing accidents. Read the post here. As a Kirkland Washington Car Accident Lawyer I have seen the devastating effects severe brain injuries have on client’s lives.

New research  is being done to find an effective treatment of head injuries immediately after the injury. It appears severe injury due to blunt force trauma could be reduced by injecting Polyethylene glycol (PEG) mixed with sterile water into the blood stream, according to an article in BioMed Central’s Journal of Biological Engineering. Study data has indicated the injection may be useful if delivered as rapidly as possible after the injury, like in an IV drip that a paramedic could deliver at the scene of a serious car accident.

Hopefully, this new research will lead to an effective treatment for brain injury victims sooner rather than later.
