Common Types of Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, can take many forms and can cause everything from headaches to a coma. Some of the most common traumatic brain injuries include:
- Concussion,
- Hematoma,
- Edema,
- Diffuse axonal injury, and
- Skull fracture.
Brain injuries can happen in one of two ways. The first is a closed brain injury, which means nothing penetrates the skull. These brain injuries occur when the head moves back and forth rapidly and the brain is shaken or collides with the skull. This type of injury is common in rear-end car accidents.
A penetrating brain injury happens when something breaks the skull and hits the brain. A typical example is a gunshot wound that pierces the skull.
Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can occur in several different ways. Some of the most common accident types that cause TBIs include:
- Car accidents,
- Pedestrian accidents,
- Bicycle accidents,
- Motorcycle accidents,
- Truck accidents,
- Electric scooter accidents,
- Workplace accidents,
- Slip and falls,
- Defective products,
- Metro or bus accidents, and
- Sports injuries.
Your head injury attorney at Peerali Law Firm can handle claims involving these or any other type of incident, including situations where a corporation or government entity caused your injury.
We aren’t afraid to stand up against large corporations and government entities and have the skills and experience needed to hold them accountable.
Recoverable Compensation for a Brain Injury
Recoverable compensation for a brain injury varies based on the facts and circumstances of each injury, but you can generally receive money for:
- Past and future medical expenses,
- Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity,
- Pain and suffering,
- Mental anguish and emotional distress,
- Disability and disfigurement,
- Loss of consortium, and
- More.
Your attorney can evaluate the facts of your case and explain what compensation you’re entitled to receive. In some cases, you might be eligible to receive exemplary damages, which are also known as punitive damages.
