Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect a person’s physical, psychological, and cognitive abilities. After all, the brain controls every function of the body. When it is injured, even in mild cases, it can affect a person’s mood, concentration, senses, and ability to function. Serious TBIs can result in a coma, a vegetative state, and even brain death. As a result, you may not be able to provide for your family, enjoy everyday activities, and even interact socially.
This difficult time can make you wonder how you can return to the life you once considered normal. As you or a loved one recovers, you’re probably worried about keeping your family afloat while the medical and miscellaneous bills pile up. Our lawyers can help to ease the burden.
A serious bump, jolt, or blow to the head disrupts the brain. TBIs can be mild, causing a brief change in a person’s mental status, or severe, having lasting effects on one’s physical and mental health.
There are several ways in which someone can sustain a traumatic brain injury. These can include:
Many older adults experience TBIs after falling. Sometimes, this can be due to unsafe walking environments caused by another person’s negligence. Those who fell in unsafe conditions may be entitled to financial compensation.
The impact of a car accident can cause significant injuries to the brain. In fact, according to the CDC, automotive accidents are the third leading cause of traumatic brain injuries that lead to disability or death. If another driver’s negligence caused your TBI, he or she should pay for the difficulties you currently face.
Acts of domestic violence or enacted by a stranger are another leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. If someone has intentionally caused you to suffer a TBI, he or she needs to be held accountable.
While many people participate in sports to achieve better physical health or a positive outlet for their energy, sometimes unsafe conditions cause injuries like TBIs. You may be entitled to compensation if a venue or person acted negligently during a sporting event.
We all want to go to our jobs believing safety is our employer’s main concern. Unfortunately, some employers sacrifice a person’s safety to cut costs or improve productivity. If your employer knowingly puts you in danger, you can receive compensation for your negligent practices.
If you are in a car accident or suffer another type of injury, you should first ensure you’re safe. If possible, try to get out of harm’s way and call your local emergency number. Take pictures of the scene or see if someone else can do it.
Get medical help if necessary. Sometimes traumatic brain injury symptoms aren’t evident right away. If you suspect any injury, at the very least, request a physical exam from your doctor. This helps to check out your health status and is also important documentation if you need to file a personal injury claim.
You will want to open a claim with your insurance company as soon as possible. If the accident resulted from someone else’s negligence, you should seek the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer.
