Brain Injury Statistics

National Institutes of Health (NIH) data indicate that 50 percent of all TBIs occur in car truck, motorcycle and bicycle crashes. The leading cause of TBIs in the elderly is falls. Many of these occur because of someone else’s negligence.

Bleeding, tearing, or swelling of the brain can lead to coma, a persistent vegetative state, or death. Injury to the brain can range anywhere from a mild concussion causing only minor symptoms, all the way to subdural hematomas and diffuse axonal injuries, which are often a cause of wrongful death or permanent loss of function. If a brain injury ends in death because of an accident, contact our Escondido wrongful death attorneys for help regarding a wrongful death claim.

TBI Damages

Traumatic brain injury victims may have a claim to a monetary recovery for damages if the injury was the result of someone else’s negligent or wrongful act. For such a serious injury, it is important to have the best legal representation available, because the total of present and future damages is often extremely high. Potential losses to be compensated may include the following economic damages:

• Emergency room treatment, medical costs, and projected future medical care expenses
• Physical, psychological, and occupational therapy costs
• Loss of income and the ability earn in the future
• Cost of long-term care
• Transportation, childcare and household help

You should also be compensated for non-economic damages when the injury has diminished your quality of life:

• Cognitive dysfunction
• Physical pain, suffering, and disability
• Mental, emotional, and psychological problems
• Loss of enjoyment of life
