Statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal that TBIs are a major cause of death and disability. At Campbell & Associates, we regularly handle cases involving TBIs and understand their gravity. Our legal team is dedicated to advocating for individuals affected by traumatic brain injuries to ensure they receive the support and compensation they deserve.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) may occur from various factors, each presenting a unique risk to victims. Here are the most common causes:
Slip and Falls
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the primary cause of traumatic brain injuries. These incidents can happen in various settings, from slipping on a wet floor, falling down the stairs or falling from a ladder or scaffold on a jobsite. If your accident occurred on someone else’s property, there is a good chance that you can file a claim. An attorney can review the facts of your case and determine whether you are entitled to recovery.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are another common cause of TBIs. They can occur in any type of car crash, including rear-end accidents, rollovers, and T-bone collisions. Importantly, vehicle occupants can sustain TBIs even if they are wearing seatbelts or their airbags are deployed. As a result, it is critical for anyone involved in a car accident to seek medical attention, even if they do not have any visible injuries.
Acts of Violence
Physical assaults or altercations can often lead to TBIs. In many cases, these TBIs are severe, as they were the result of an intentional blow to the head. If the attacking party is criminally charged, it usually means that victims are entitled to compensation through a civil claim.
