Common Causes of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries often occur for one of two reasons: blows to the head or violent jarring of the head and neck. While head injuries caused by shaking are most common in babies and young children, blows to the head can happen to virtually anyone.

Many people suffer brain injuries in car accidents when their head impacts the dashboard, window, or steering wheel. Sports-related blows to the head are also linked to brain injuries.

Falls are perhaps the leading cause of brain injuries. When a person slips on a wet or icy surface, serious long-term complications can arise if their head strikes the ground. Dark stairwells, torn carpeting and potholes are all common causes of such falls, and can often be traced back to the negligence of one person. A seasoned Plano traumatic brain injury attorney could help victims locate that person and work to hold them responsible for their negligence.

Damages for Victims

Victims of brain injuries may be entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering. Brain injuries can cause a person’s entire world to change, making it difficult for them to hold down their old job or perform other daily tasks necessary to live their life. Because of this, victims frequently pursue compensation for the loss of earning capacity.

Of course, there are other costs associated with brain injuries beyond job loss. A person with a brain injury will likely require expensive medical care immediately following an accident, but may also need ongoing treatment for serious injuries.

Medical bills can quickly pile up, making it difficult for the victim to pay for healthcare and put food on the table. However, a proactive Plano TBI lawyer could help investigate whether another person’s recklessness or negligence led to the accident that caused the injury and seek restitution from them for those costs.
