Traumatic Brain Injuries in Collisions
A car accident is one of the most common ways to suffer a serious brain injury. The added collision force from two vehicles or more adds enough to an impact to rattle the brain or even send a victim’s head into a hard surface. These types of accidents happen all the time on busy routes like Highway 99 or Monte Vista Avenue.
Stanford Medicine explains that a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is caused by a blow to the head. It may happen when your head strikes an object or when an object penetrates the skull. TBIs may occur due to a fall, an assault, or, often, in traffic accidents.
A TBI can be minor with symptoms, like headaches and sensitivity to light, clearing up in a few days. A concussion is one form of TBI.
But some TBIs can prove much more serious, causing a loss of control of body functions, seizures, and memory loss. Even the ability to speak can disappear. This wide range of outcomes is why having a lawyer help you after an accident and head injury can be critical.
Your lawyer helps you determine how long your brain injury will affect your life, perhaps for your whole life. Then your Maison Law representatives demand the financial support you’ll need in a TBI accident settlement check. Your lawyer can often secure much more for you than you could by handling your case yourself. It’s also much less stress and physical strain on you to turn over your case so you can focus on healing.
The Types of Accidents We Help TBI Victims Recover From
Stanislaus County residents don’t have to be in cars and SUVs to get hurt on local roads.
They may be on other types of vehicles, or they may be traveling on foot when a careless driver veers out of a lane or fails to stop for a red light.
These are just a few of the types of personal injury traffic accidents that we can help victims win:
- Car accident
- Truck collision
- Motorcycle impact
- Bicycle Accident
- Pedestrian Accident
Victims can file injury claims against anyone who contributes to an accident that leads to their harm. In a vehicle collision, it’s usually a reckless driver who can be held liable. That means the driver’s car insurance provider is financially responsible.
But car insurance adjusters can make it difficult to pin the blame on the right motorist. They can try to point the finger at you and say you were at fault. This can leave you paying for 100% of your medical bills for a crash you didn’t cause. An insurer may also downplay how badly your brain has been injured. They want to get away with providing much less than you need to fully recover.
Your attorney fights back by fully investigating what happened and having strong evidence ready to hold up for the insurance adjuster to acknowledge.
Support for Car Accident Traumatic Brain Injury Victims
When you file your accident claim, you’ll want to submit a complete list of your damages and hardships to the insurance company for the at-fault party.
This list must include everything you feel you should be compensated for. Your Maison Law attorney will make sure this list is complete because anything left off would become an expense you would have to pay out of your savings.
These are just a few of the factors that will be used to determine the amount you receive:
- Totals on medical bills.
- Rehabilitation costs. This includes expensive physical therapy to help the brain relearn certain functions after major trauma.
- Estimates on the costs of life with a permanent disability stemming from a brain injury. Home care, home renovations, and even memory care could be necessary.
- Travel costs to medical appointments to see your doctors and out-of-area specialists while you are unable to drive.
- The pain and emotional anguish you’ve suffered after a Traumatic Brain Injury.
- Loss of enjoyment of life. The emotional trauma of having to give up certain hobbies and family activities you love.
- Lost income from work. Including estimates on a lifetime of support needed if a brain injury patient can never return to work.
