What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

‍The definition of a traumatic brain injury is "a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury." These injuries include:

• Damage to the structural integrity of the skull
• Damage to the brain tissue from the violent movement
• Injuries where the brain tissue is penetrated

TBIs range from minor to severe with varying symptoms and degrees of prognosis.Mild traumatic brain injuries typically affect a person for a short period of time before they make a full recovery. More severe traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, torn tissue, bleeding, and various other physical damage that causes long-term complications or death.

‍What Kinds of Brain Injury Cases Does Marko Law Handle?

‍Our brain injury attorneys handle all kinds of lawsuits involving brain injuries that were caused by another party's negligence. A few of the most common types of TBI cases we handle include:

‍Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

‍Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of brain injuries in the United States. Car crashes are common and several result in head injuries. Truck accidents are less common, however they involve devastating force that leads to an increased chance of a TBI. And motorcycle riders simply have little to no protection and can easily injure their head when they are struck or ejected from their bike.

‍Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

‍Pedestrians and bicyclists are completely exposed when they are walking or biking near roadways. If a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, they are usually thrown or crushed from the force of the vehicle. This collision often causes brain injuries in major pedestrian or bicycle collisions.

‍Medical Malpractice

‍Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care, causing an injury to the patient. If the mistake causes a lack of oxygen to the brain, or fails to notice or treat an existing brain issue, a TBI can result.

‍Birth Injury

‍Infant brain damage can happen during childbirth in certain circumstances that are naturally caused and also in circumstances involving negligence. The most common causes of birth injury TBIs are using an instrument like forceps with too much force or asphyxiation when the brain is deprived of oxygen for too long.

‍Slip and Fall

‍When a person slips and falls from a slippery floor or defective staircase, they can easily hit their heads hard enough to cause a brain injury. Some falls are not serious and cause minor injuries. But some can be devastating and lead to long-lasting consequences and real pain and suffering.

‍Work-Related Accidents

‍Some workplaces and industries are known to be more dangerous than others. For example, an employee in the construction industry may sustain a brain injury at work from falling, being crushed, or during a car accident. In these cases, they may be able to recover compensation through workers' compensation benefits. If a party besides the employer was responsible, they may be able to receive additional compensation with a third-party personal injury claim.

‍Compensation for Damages from a Brain Injury

‍Receiving compensation for a brain injury that was not your fault can make all the difference for you and your family. In most cases, victims and their loved ones are dealing with accumulating bills, stress, and an unclear future. If your traumatic brain injury is severe, you could be out of work for some time. Along with medical expenses, you might be able to receive other compensation because of the accident. Insurance providers will pay the least amount possible because they are in business to make money. They don't care about your injuries; they just care about their bottom lines. If you try to settle, you might not receive sufficient compensation for past medical expenses, never mind future medical expenses and lost time from work.The different kinds of compensation that you might receive include:

• Past medical bills for injuries you sustained in the accident.
• Future medical bills for upcoming surgeries and doctors' visits.
• Physical, cognitive and psychological therapies. These types of therapies may continue for months or years.
• Past lost income for time you could not work due to your injuries.
• Future lost income for time you can not work in the future or if you have to take a position that pays less.
• Vehicle repairs or replacement.
• Replacement of personal property damaged in the accident.
• Loss of companionship if the incident caused injuries severe enough so that you can not enjoy doing things with your family.
• Loss of consortium if the incident caused injuries serious enough that you can not enjoy a physical relationship with your partner.
• The cost if you have to employ someone for everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping, home maintenance, and cleaning.
• Pain and suffering if doctors expect you to suffer from your injuries for the long term.
• Punitive damages if the at-fault driver's grossly negligent actions caused the accident.

Traumatic brain injuries might be minor or serious and may have extensive recovery times. Compensation for long-lasting injuries will help you support yourself and your loved ones.
