Accidents That Cause TBIs

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can result from a wide range of accidents and incidents, but some of the most common causes of TBI include:

Bicycle accidents: Bicycle accidents are a common cause of TBI, particularly if the bicyclist is not wearing a helmet or is struck by a motor vehicle.

Car accidents: Car accidents can also result in TBI if the victim's head is struck by a hard object or if they experience rapid acceleration or deceleration that causes the brain to move within the skull.

Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents can cause TBI if the victim's head strikes a hard surface or if they experience rapid acceleration or deceleration.

Sports injuries: Sports-related injuries, particularly those that involve contact or collisions, can result in TBI.

Assault: Physical assault, particularly those that involve blows to the head, can result in TBI.

Explosions or blasts: Explosions or blasts, such as those that occur in combat or in industrial accidents, can cause TBI.

Long-Term Effects of TBI

The impact of a TBI on a survivor’s life can vary. The following are some of the issues they may face in the future:

Cognitive impairment, such as difficulty with memory, attention, and problem-solving.

Behavioral and emotional changes, including depression, anxiety, irritability, and aggression.

Physical impairments, such as loss of motor coordination, difficulty with balance, and seizures.

Speech and language difficulties, such as trouble finding the right words or understanding others.

Sensory changes, such as ringing in the ears, sensitivity to light or sound, and changes in taste or smell.

Chronic pain, particularly in the head, neck, and shoulders.

Fatigue: TBI can cause chronic fatigue, making it difficult for the individual to carry out everyday activities

Social and vocational difficulties, making it difficult for the individual to maintain relationships or hold a job.

Our Legal Process

1. Investigation and Gathering Evidence

The first step in the legal process is for your lawyer to investigate the incident that caused the brain injury, gather evidence, and evaluate the potential value of the case. This may involve obtaining witness statements, police reports, medical records, and other relevant documents. Your lawyer will also examine the accident scene if applicable and assess the severity of the brain injury sustained by the victim.

2. Negotiation and Settlement

Once your lawyer has gathered all of the necessary information, we will begin negotiating with the insurance companies and other parties involved in the accident to try to reach a fair settlement. We present our findings and demand compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages, as well as those of the victim’s family if that is the case. If a settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer may choose to proceed to the next step.

3. Litigation and Trial

If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, your lawyer may file a lawsuit on your behalf or that of the TBI victim and proceed to trial. During the trial, your lawyer will present evidence, call witnesses, and fight on your behalf. The goal is to convince a judge or jury to award a fair and just compensation for the victim’s brain injury and damages.
