A traumatic brain injury is a type of injury to the brain caused by a sudden trauma or blow to the head. TBIs can range from mild to severe and can result in temporary or permanent changes in brain function.
Traumatic brain injuries are classified into three categories:
Concussions are characterized by temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, headache, nausea, and other symptoms that may resolve within days to weeks
Moderate TBIs involve more prolonged loss of consciousness (up to several hours), memory loss, mood changes, and other cognitive impairments.
Severe traumatic brain injuries involve an extended period of unconsciousness, significant cognitive impairments, and potential long-term disabilities or even coma.
The symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury.
Common symptoms include:
Common causes of traumatic brain injuries caused by negligence:
Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents are major causes of traumatic brain injuries. Negligent behaviors such as speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, drunk driving, and failure to obey traffic laws can lead to collisions resulting in TBIs.
Slip and fall accidents, especially those occurring on hazardous or poorly maintained premises, can cause traumatic brain injuries. Property owners must maintain safe conditions, including fixing slippery surfaces, repairing defective stairs or walkways, and addressing other hazards.
Participation in contact sports, such as football, soccer, and hockey, as well as recreational activities like biking, skateboarding, and skiing, can lead to traumatic brain injuries. Negligence may occur when coaches, referees, organizers, or equipment manufacturers fail to implement adequate safety measures or provide appropriate protective gear.
Employees may suffer traumatic brain injuries in workplace accidents resulting from unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, inadequate training, or employer negligence. Common workplace incidents leading to TBIs include falls from heights, being struck by falling objects, vehicle accidents, and exposure to hazardous substances.
Intentional acts of violence, assaults, or physical altercations can also cause traumatic brain injuries.
Negligence by healthcare providers, such as doctors, nurses, or surgeons, can lead to traumatic brain injuries during medical procedures, surgeries, anesthesia administration, or post-operative care.
If you were involved in an accident or incident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages.
Common types of compensation for traumatic brain injuries include:
Your traumatic brain injury lawyer will carefully evaluate your case to determine which damages you’re entitled to. They will also work with experts to accurately value your claim to ensure you recover compensation for accident-related costs now and in the future.
In California, you will have two years from the date of the accident or incident to recover compensation. If you fail to file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related losses. When you hire a traumatic brain injury lawyer at Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, we want to make the entire legal process as low-stress as possible.
