Common Causes of TBIs
Traumatic brain injuries can result from various incidents, such as:
- Sports
Recreational activities provide fun and exercise, but contact sports like football or activities like cycling contribute to TBIs. - Assaults
Aggressive encounters significantly contribute to brain injuries. During such encounters, victims can take repeated blows to the head, creating severe brain damage. - Workplace Accidents
Risky jobs like construction or work in industrial environments can result in a TBI. Heavy machinery accidents or falls can create serious damage. - Slip and Falls Accidents
Senior citizens and young children are especially vulnerable in a spill. Slips, trips, or falls from heights frequently lead to head injuries. - Motor Vehicle Accidents
Such incidents can include car, motorcycle, and truck collisions. These accidents often involve high-impact forces that can cause significant brain trauma.
Helping You Prove Negligence in Your TBI Case
Proving negligence is crucial in a traumatic brain injury case. Our experienced legal team gathers and examines critical evidence. We can investigate the accident scene, and we may be able to obtain surveillance footage or photographs.
We can review police reports and help identify any inconsistencies. Our team can also interview witnesses, providing valuable first-hand accounts.
We can also gather medical records that show the extent of your injuries. Then, we can work toward connecting those injuries to your accident. We work closely with medical professionals who offer opinions on the injury's cause and potential lifelong impact.
Our team can also engage economic experts to evaluate future financial losses, including diminished earning capacity and ongoing medical needs. Our cohesive approach builds a compelling case by helping establish a link between the defendant's actions and the injuries sustained.
TBI Statistics
Even mild accidents can result in TBI. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1.7 million people in the United States sustain TBI. Young children and the elderly are most likely to sustain this type of injury, and almost half of the TBI injuries treated at emergency rooms annually involve children under the age of 14.
However, adults more than 75 years old have the highest mortality and hospitalization rate for TBI. Statistically, males are more likely to receive a TBI than women. According to the CDC, TBIs cost the U.S. economy $76.5 billion in the year 2000 alone.
