What Are the Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries?
Any type of accident that causes a person’s head to strike a hard object with considerable force can result in a TBI. Most often occurring from the impact of a vehicle collision, TBIs can also occur as a result of construction accidents, dangerous products, botched brain surgeries, and pedestrian accidents. Since the brain is the main sensory and cognitive center of the body, any damage to this organ can have serious consequences.
Symptoms of TBIs include:
- Long- and short-term memory loss
- Inability to communicate
- Reduced cognitive function
- Coma or vegetative state
- Problems processing sensory information
If you or a loved one were injured due to another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to pursue monetary damages by filing a personal injury claim, a workers’ compensation claim, or both. If successful, you may be awarded reimbursement for losses related to pain and suffering, present and future medical expenses, lost wages, and lost earning potential. Since compensation will vary on a case-by-case basis, it is imperative that you consult our firm to evaluate your legal options and determine the most appropriate course of action.
