Although the skull protects it, the human brain is still extremely susceptible to sustaining long-lasting and debilitating harm from external impacts. Even a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can interfere with your professional and personal life for weeks to months afterward. Meanwhile, successive small injuries—or a single severe one—can change your life’s entire course instantly.
When someone else’s misconduct leads to you sustaining this type of injury, immediately speak with an experienced catastrophic injury attorney. You deserve the best possible result from your case, and guidance from a Sunnyvale traumatic brain injury lawyer at Solution Now Law Firm could be crucial to achieving that outcome.
Traumatic brain injuries can happen in numerous ways. Most of the time, these injuries occur due to the brain impacting against the inside of the skull after someone suffers a blow to the head or any impact that suddenly causes their head to snap forward—for instance, making contact with the airbag or being thrown forward against a seatbelt during an auto accident.
Regardless of exactly how a TBI happens, establishing liability for the negative effects of one generally requires proving that someone else was legally “negligent.” More specifically, the “plaintiff” filing suit must prove that the “defendant(s)” named in their claim did something reckless, careless, or illegal which was in breach of a “duty of care” they owed the plaintiff. This “breach of duty” must then be the direct cause of an accident resulting in the plaintiff’s injury.
To continue the auto accident example, someone could be negligent by doing something as overtly irresponsible as speeding through a red light or by doing something seemingly innocuous but still unsafe—like getting distracted for a few moments by someone else in the car. Support from our team of seasoned Sunnyvale TBI attorneys could be key to building a comprehensive civil claim around whatever circumstances led to a specific injury.
Since the brain does not heal easily from many types of trauma, moderate to severe TBIs are likely to cause permanent and debilitating harm. This means it is often essential when suing or demanding a civil settlement over this kind of injury to account for both short- and long-term damages, including:
Our skilled traumatic brain injury lawyers in Sunnyvale could demand fair compensation for all past and future losses an injured person has and will experience.
Even with all the advantages of modern medical science, doctors still do not completely understand exactly how the brain works or how to repair all forms of damage it may sustain. While a serious TBI may have permanent repercussions, you can still seek financial recovery from the person who caused your injury for every form of harm it will cause you.
