Traumatic Brain Injuries / Head Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, are caused when the brain is damaged by a severe and violent shock or is penetrated by an object, such as a knife or bullet. The causes of TBI are numerous, including:

  • car accidents
  • motorcycle accidents
  • pedestrian accidents
  • Shaken Baby Syndrome
  • sports
  • falls
  • fights
  • drowning
  • drugs and alcohol
  • lack of oxygen to the brain
  • electrical shocks
  • exposure to toxins

The brain injury attorneys at Pocrass & De Los Reyes take cases on a contingency basis. This means you pay nothing until your case is resolved. For a FREE, no-obligation consultation, contact us.

Anoxia – when the brain is deprived of oxygen for an extended period of time – also can result in traumatic brain injury and life-long medical problems. Frequently anoxic traumatic brain injuries occur in near-drownings, heart attacks, or in infants or newborns during labor or delivery.

Results of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

The damage to the brain can be mild, moderate or severe.

The amount of disabilities the person suffers is dependent on:

  • Where the brain was injured.
  • What kind of injury the brain suffered.
  • How long until the victim received medical attention.

Often the victim of a traumatic brain injury will need assistance with their daily tasks. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 5.3 million Americans have a life-long or long-term need for help after sustaining a traumatic brain injury.

How Compensation Can Help You

As the victim of a traumatic brain injury, your life may never be the same as it was before the accident. You may need compensation for your injury for:

  • Medical costs
  • Future medical costs.
  • Therapy and rehabilitation.
  • Loss of earnings.
  • Retraining to change careers.
  • Living expenses.
  • Pain and suffering.
  • Adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs or adapted vans.

Brain Injury Cases Have Time Limits

You or a family member should talk to a traumatic brain injury lawyer as soon as possible.

One reason to quickly contact a traumatic brain injury lawyer is so that he can preserve evidence, get witness statements, and ensure that the medical records accurately reflect the medical procedures needed by the brain injury victim.

There also are statutes of limitations – deadlines – that must be met. If you miss the deadline to file you give up all rights to ever file a case, regardless of how badly the money is needed.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

We filed suit against the golfer who hit our client and against the City of Los Angeles, the owner and operator of the course. The City was held accountable by the court because it had failed to put in safety measures that were called for by the City’s own designs for the course.
