What are Some of the Leading Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury?

Many types of accidents might lead to brain injuries. These include:

However, traumatic brain injuries fall into the following categories:

  • Open injury ā€“ The brain has been penetrated, usually by a bullet or other instrument
  • Closed injury ā€“ The skull is not penetrated, but the brain is injured, generally from a fall or car accident
  • Deceleration injury ā€“ The brain is slammed against the skull
  • Chemical/Toxic ā€“ A harmful chemical, such as a pesticide, lead, or carbon monoxide penetrates the brain
  • Hypoxia ā€“ Lack of oxygen, often from a heart attack or stroke, can also damage the brain. Other causes include drowning, tumors, and infections

What are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic brain injury symptoms can differ significantly according to the individual, how the injury occurred, and how severe the injury is. Common symptoms may include:

  • Fatigue
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Recurring headaches
  • Memory loss
  • Dizziness
  • Emotional outbursts
  • Depression
  • Seizures
  • The inability to perform everyday tasks
  • Balance problems
  • Sensitivity to noise or light

Why is it Important to See a Doctor After a Head Injury?

You might feel okay after getting hit on the head in an accident, but you might not exactly know the extent of the damage. You may also experience direct symptoms like severe headaches, confusion, trouble using your arms or legs, or repeated vomiting or worse sleepiness, you should see your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room. However, regardless of why, you should consult a doctor and ideally a traumatic brain injury specialist. Visiting a doctor is necessary since you might have incurred internal bleeding, which eventually may lead to death.

Why Should I Hire a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer?

Brain injuries can alter your life forever. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to life due to another person’s negligence, you deserve compensation. To secure justice for such a matter, the matter must be presented in a court of law, and insurance companies will try their best not to pay a lot. Hiring an attorney would be a good decision since:

  • Brain injuries can be life-threatening and can alter your life
  • Your lawyer will fight for you professionally to obtain the compensation you deserve
  • Your lawyer is experienced in dealing with such cases
  • Your lawyer will handle collecting evidence, settlement negotiation, and representing you in court

Can Insurance Companies Obtain My Past Medical Records?

When you’re pursuing compensation, insurance companies may ask for medical reports to determine claims since they have no right to access your documents. You must verify the reports with the medical bills you have reimbursed, or otherwise, the application would most likely be dismissed without medical records.

What Happens if the Insurance Company Refuses to Pay My Medical Bills?

You should note that insurance firms are just interested in making a profit and only interested in their business’s best interests. Insurance firms will try to persuade you to accept their payment at any opportunity, and at times they deny to compensate for the damages. You may feel dissatisfied with the decision, and for this reason, you can appeal the case.

If the insurance insurer declines to pay a claim or terminates your coverage, you have the right to file an appeal and have the decision checked by a third party. You have the right to request that the insurance provider rethink its decision. Insurers are required to explain why they rejected your claim or terminated your coverage. And they must inform you of how you can appeal their decisions.

What Compensation Can I Receive for a Brain Injury?

According to the law in California, a person is entitled to compensation in the event of an accident. The brain is an essential organ in the human body that acts as the central unit that interprets and controls every process in your body. Injury to this critical organ may adversely affect a person’s life even more than any sum of money can replace.

When you suffer a brain injury, you’re entitled to claim compensation for;

  • Income lost
  • Medical bills, i.e., past and future bills
  • Costs for burial in a case of a wrongful death
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering

Are There Time Limits for Filing a TBI Claim?

This question is so important to ask yourself. Every state in the United States has a different statute of limitation to file a claim. The law states that a person has two years to claim damages caused by a car accident or other brain injury accidents in Palm Springs and throughout California. Although failure to file a claim in the statutory period can prevent your claim, some exceptions exist. These exceptions may include a minor under 18 years, serious injuries, or the victim became mentally incompetent, leading to derailing the victim from pursuing a claim.

Brain injuries are among the most devastating injuries a person can experience. The brain is crucial to performing daily activities, communication, and interpersonal relationships. A brain injury can result in permanent disability or even death. The caregiver or the family will incur many costs in supporting the victim after a TBI.

If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury was caused by another’s negligence, the law gives you a chance to hold the responsible party accountable. You will need a qualified lawyer who can help you file a lawsuit against them and present the evidence well. Since TBI cases involve complicated legal and medical problems, hiring a qualified attorney is essential.
