In personal injury cases, "injury" refers to much more than just the physical injury. Comprehending the physical injury is only part of what good personal injury attorneys must do for their client. Sometimes, a client's true physical injury will not manifest itself for some time after the accident—as in the case of brain injuries, which are often initially misdiagnosed as concussions. Personal injury lawyers need patience and understanding in these situations so clients and their healthcare providers can, first and foremost, do what is necessary to help them.
