Immediate effects of a brain injury can include physical disabilities and mental deficiencies, such as personality changes or the inability to live independently. Furthermore, a brain injury places a tremendous emotional and financial burden on family members, particularly if you were the primary breadwinner before your accident.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from various circumstances, often as a result of someone else’s negligence. These injuries frequently have long-lasting effects, including physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that can dramatically change a person’s life. Identifying the cause of a TBI is crucial in determining liability and seeking compensation.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

A major cause of TBIs involves motor vehicle collisions. Whether a car crash, truck accident, motorcycle incident, or pedestrian collision, the force of impact can lead to severe brain injuries. Many of these accidents are preventable, often caused by a driver's carelessness or reckless behavior.

Construction & Industrial Accidents

Construction sites and industrial workspaces are inherently dangerous, especially when safety regulations are not followed. Workers may suffer head trauma from falls, being struck by falling objects, or accidents involving heavy machinery. When employers or contractors neglect safety protocols, workers are often left to deal with life-changing injuries.

Sports and Recreation Injuries

Participation in sports and recreational activities also presents a risk for TBIs. High-contact sports like football, boxing, or soccer, as well as activities such as cycling or skiing, can result in head trauma. In some cases, negligent supervision, lack of proper safety equipment, or inadequate medical attention can contribute to the severity of the injury.

Defective Products

Defective products are another potential cause of TBIs. Whether it’s malfunctioning vehicles, faulty machinery, or unsafe sports gear, when products fail to perform as they should, they can lead to catastrophic injuries. In these cases, the manufacturers, distributors, or retailers may be liable for damages caused by the product failure.

Medical Negligence & Birth Injuries

TBIs can also occur in newborns due to medical malpractice. This can happen when medical professionals fail to properly monitor the mother and baby during labor or use improper techniques during delivery. Brain injuries sustained at birth can lead to lifelong challenges for the child.

No matter the cause, if your brain injury was caused by negligence, you deserve to hold the responsible parties accountable. At Cunningham Bounds, our experienced brain injury lawyers can help you seek the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Understanding the Severity and Complexities of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Nearly 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury each year. What many people don't know is that symptoms of a traumatic brain injury may not be evident for weeks or even months following the initial trauma.

Traumatic brain injury – or TBI – is a form of acquired brain injury that occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can occur when the head violently hits an object. TBI can also occur when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Approximately 50% of severely head-injured patients will need surgery to remove or repair hematomas (i.e., ruptured blood vessels) or devitalized brain cortex (damaged brain tissue). TBI often occurs in car crashes, but TBIs also commonly occur in industrial site accidents, construction site accidents, or consumer product failures. 

TBI can cause life-long disabilities. The nature and extent of disability following a traumatic brain injury typically depends upon the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and the age of the injured person. Common disabilities after TBI include some or all of the following problems:

  • Cognitive Deficits (i.e., problems with thinking, memory, and reasoning);
  • Sensory Processing Deficits (i.e., problems with sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell);
  • Communication Deficits (i.e., problems with expression and understanding); and
  • Behavior or Mental Health Deficits (i.e., problems with depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out, and social inappropriateness).

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, it is important to find a plaintiff law firm that has experience dealing with brain injury cases. Brain injuries are unique injuries. Similarly, brain injury lawsuits are unique cases. A plaintiff lawyer who has experience handling traumatic brain injury cases will be able to help you navigate the legal process and increase your chances of obtaining total and fair compensation.

Common Consequences of Brain Injuries

Although you may appear to be somewhat fine and functioning normally after an accident, it is possible that an underlying brain injury has occurred. This is one of the reasons why TBIs are so problematic. It is not always immediately apparent that someone has suffered a brain injury, and so treatment or diagnosis may be delayed, increasing the chances of the TBI leaving a deep and lasting impact.

Signs a brain injury may have been suffered include:
