Traumatic Brain Injuries Attorneys

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) happen when a blow to the head, loss of oxygen, or other physical trauma impacts the brain, resulting in diminished or lost functionality in the injured area. Traumatic brain injuries are very serious and very common; experts estimate that a traumatic brain injury occurs nearly every 15 seconds. One of the reasons traumatic brain injuries occur so frequently is that they can arise from virtually any kind of accident. Some of the more common causes of TBI include:

Traumatic brain injuries often have long-lasting medical implications, whether the injury is classified as mild or severe. Complications from TBI can include:

  • Difficulty thinking or concentrating
  • Mood swings
  • Memory problems
  • Persistent headache
  • Limited function in arms/legs
  • Speech and language problems
  • Emotional problems

What makes TBI especially challenging is that brain injuries are often unique to the victim; two people may suffer injuries that appear similar, yet experience very different symptoms. This makes urgent care treatment difficult, as ER personnel don't always recognize the signs of TBI, and it creates challenges from a legal perspective. While many instances of traumatic brain injuries happen purely by accident and cannot be "blamed" on someone, others occur due to negligence. Injuries resulting from drunk or reckless driving collisions, faulty equipment, negligent child care providers, and medical malpractice are all examples of TBI injuries in which legal action may be appropriate. Because of the complex nature of TBI, however, any resulting legal claim must very clearly document the injuries and establish what or who was to blame.

If you or a loved one has suffered from a traumatic brain injury caused by the negligent or wrong actions of another person or company, you may have grounds for a legal claim. However, in order to ensure the best possible outcome for your claim, you need qualified legal counsel from a firm familiar with TBI litigation. Cases involving TBI are challenging, requiring significant research, appropriate use of medical testimony, and a thorough knowledge of relevant state liability law.
