Do I Need a Lawyer After a Head Injury?

Accident victims may not need a lawyer for their cases if accidents only involve very minor injuries or a slight concussion. Unfortunately, accidents involving blows to the head and brain aren’t usually minor.

If you suffer a serious brain or head injury, like a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or a skull fracture, and someone else was to blame, you could earn more in a brain injury settlement by allowing a skilled attorney to handle your case.

This is extra support that brain injury patients often desperately need. They might require surgeries, cognitive therapy, and/or home care for months or years. An experienced Bell Brain Injury Lawyer helps determine exactly what type of settlement the patient will need and then demands that amount.

These are just a few of the safeguards and value Maison Law provides:

• Fully investigates the accident and collects all evidence showing who was at fault
• Uses this evidence to fight back against insurance companies when they try to blame the victim or downplay the effects of a TBI
• Works with your doctors to fully document the injury and determine how much in support victims may need in the future
• Handles your case and files it with as little disruption to you as possible as you heal
• Handles frustrating negotiations with insurance representatives
• Often secures much more for your case than you could have by taking on giant insurance companies by yourself
• Ready to file a lawsuit if an insurance company won’t accept full responsibility for your wellbeing

Insurance companies have many well-rehearsed tactics they use to limit the support accident victims receive. They work extra hard to wriggle out of blame when an expensive head trauma injury is involved. A lawyer is your safeguard against these shady practices and demands the most possible for your recovery.

Brain Injury Hazards for Bell Residents

The journeys we make every day, to work, to school, and even to local shopping around Bell, can put the most vulnerable parts of our bodies at risk. We are protected by tough skulls, but in an accident with enough force to affect the brain inside, we might be left with dangerous internal bleeding, concussions, and other damage.

Traffic dangers are probably the biggest risk we face each day. A high-speed impact from a reckless driver on Gage Avenue might send our heads into a steering wheel, through glass, or into a metal door. As a pedestrian struck by a car, we could suffer head trauma after hitting the hood of a car and the road surface.

Maison Law’s Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers have helped victims with all types of brain injuries suffered after all types of accidents.

These are just a few of the types of accidents around Bell CA that can cause major head injuries:

• Car accident
• Truck collision
• Motorcycle impact
• Bicycle Accident
• Pedestrian Accident
• Fall from a great height
• A fall down stairs at an apartment building or a government office
• A slip-and-fall at a place of business, like Walmart or at a local restaurant
• An object falling from overhead at a business or on someone’s property
• Sports injury
• Workplace injury, including risks around heavy machinery and tools
• Violent attacks allowed by a property owner’s negligent security

Victims hurt at work can file for California Workers’ Comp benefits while they are out of work, but not everyone is awarded the same level of support. The support offered may not be enough to help victims of a head injury. A Bell Workers’ Comp Lawyer makes sure Workers’ Comp administrators get the whole story of the hardships the victim faces and is awarded everything needed. A lawyer can also help workplace accident victims file a lawsuit if it becomes necessary to sue an employer over unsafe work conditions.

With a head or brain injury, victims should be able to count on support for weeks, months, or a lifetime if necessary. A Maison Law attorney helps all victims seek estimates on their future care to make sure this support is included in any brain injury settlement check.

Types of Brain Injuries Leading to Personal Injury Claims

Brain injuries can affect a patient’s life in the long term. They can also easily cause life-threatening complications.

A skull fracture can be a scary injury on its own, but an accident affecting the skull might also affect the brain it safeguards. A depressed skull fracture pushes into or puts pressure on the brain.

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is usually caused by a powerful blow to the head. Stanford Children’s Health reports that this blow causes damage to the nerve cells in the brain. This leads to neurons that can’t carry signals and commands from the brain to the body parts it controls. A TBI can leave a patient unable to think or move normally. A TBI might lead to seizures, memory loss, and other symptoms.

After a head injury in a vehicle accident, or in a fall, local ER doctors treat accident victims for these and other brain injuries:

• Light and Severe Concussions
• Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI)
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Brain bleeding (hematomas)
• Contusions or bruises
• Swelling of the brain (edema)
• Skull fractures

A mild TBI, like a concussion, may take a few weeks to three full months to heal. Of course, a more severe case can take years to fully recover from. Some patients deal with symptoms for the rest of their lives. After an accident, insurers for at-fault parties will want to just pay for an emergency room visit or a few physical therapy sessions. But your lawyer takes action to secure the support you’ll really need to fully recover and support yourself.

Seeking Support for Brain Injury Accident Victims in Bell, California

Any insurance company can quickly write you a settlement check for the medical bills you have to date. Perhaps covering one night in the hospital and maybe a couple of visits to a cognitive therapist.

But victims who allow a lawyer to investigate and consult with doctors to discover the true costs that may arise in the years ahead can experience a much better outcome. They may enjoy a better quality of life when they have the support they’ll need.

They’ll have the money to pay for therapists who can help them relearn skills that were taken from them. They’ll be able to afford surgeries if it can help down the road. They might also need money for home care and in-home equipment to give brain injury patients the most freedom possible. They may also need help finding a new job that they can support their families with.

These and other concerns can be left to a Maison Law lawyer. Our Bell Brain Injury Lawyers get expert opinions and then ask for the right amount in compensation for their clients.

These are just a few of the things a brain injury settlement should cover:

• All medical expenses
• Ongoing care for head trauma
• Support for the emotional distress experienced after a brain injury
• Support for the pain experienced in an accident and in a difficult brain injury recovery
• The loss of enjoyment of life

• Property damage
• Lost wages and benefits
