Brain injuries can affect every part of your life. A mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause temporary harm to brain cells, while more severe injuries can lead to torn tissues, bruising, bleeding, and permanent damage that causes long-term complications.
If you or someone you love experiences a brain injury, you need to understand your rights. If someone else was responsible for causing your TBI, you may be able to hold them liable for your economic and non-financial losses.
Diaco Law can help. Our firm will advocate for you throughout your claim so you can make the civil justice system work to get the compensation you deserve. Contact a Hyde Park personal injury attorney at our firm today to learn more.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
The American Brain Foundation has identified the leading causes of traumatic brain injury. These include:
- Falls: Close to half of all traumatic brain injuries happen when people fall. Both young and old people are especially susceptible to brain injuries due to a fall.
- Car accidents: Motor vehicle accidents, including multi-vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bike accidents, are another leading cause of brain injury due to the trauma of objects hitting the head or closed-head injuries that occur when the brain moves within the skull due to the force of the crash.
- Acts of violence: This can include shooting someone in the head or physical assault.
- Sports injuries: Many brain injuries result from contact sports like football.
In many cases, these types of incidents that lead to brain injuries could have been prevented if greater care had been taken. For example, if someone falls in a store due to a wet floor or debris in walkways, the store could have prevented the incident and so should be held liable for losses.
Those administering sports programs, like schools and coaches, careless drivers, and property owners who failed to provide adequate security, could also be held responsible for traumatic brain injuries that occurred as a result of their negligent failures to keep the victim safe from harm.
