Sacramento Brain Injury Lawyer
Brain injuries are not always obvious after a car accident, truck crash, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, bus accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or other catastrophic incident. A person may seem fine at first while later facing headaches, memory loss, confusion, mood changes, dizziness, or other signs of a traumatic brain injury.
Insurance companies may dispute brain injury claims when symptoms are delayed, records are incomplete, or injuries are not visible.

Types of brain injuries
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
An external force, like a forceful blow or sudden jolt to the head or body, causes a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) often cause permanent or lifelong damages and rank among the most serious personal injuries. A TBI can cause disruptions in brain functioning, leading to noticeable changes in your behavior. Moderate to severe cases involve bleeding, concussion, coma, significant loss of consciousness or skull fractures.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
Acquired brain injury refers to brain damage occurring after birth. It arises from disease, head injuries, substance poisoning or oxygen deprivation. Usually, neurological diseases like tumors cause ABI. Dealing with the aftermath of ABIs is challenging. Post-ABI effects include, slower cognitive processing, changes in behavior and alterations in thinking and learning. In certain cases, you may require a traumatic brain injury lawyer for legal representation. The lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation through a personal injury claim.
Common symptoms of brain injuries
- Swelling or bruising on the head and superficial scalp cuts.
- Headaches and balance issues.
- Nausea, fatigue, blurred vision and taste changes.
- Sensitivity to light and noise.
- Altered sleep patterns and concentration problems.
Furthermore, moderate to severe head injuries require immediate medical attention, and symptoms may include any of the above as well as:
- Cognitive issues: Trouble with thinking, flexibility, focus, mood and social behavior.
- Communication challenges: Struggling with naming objects, writing words, reading and understanding speech.
- Motor difficulties: Problems with body awareness, visual attention, hand-eye coordination, walking, reaching and slurred speech.
- Memory and behavior problems: Difficulty recognizing faces, memory loss, aggression and ear ringing.
- Physical symptoms: Persistent severe headache, repeated nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sleep problems.
- Altered consciousness: Coma state, minimal awareness of surroundings, and inability to speak or move.
- Breathing and swallowing issues: Breathing problems, difficulties in swallowing and nausea.
- Physical signs: Fluids from ears or nose, pale skin, seizures or convulsions and open head wounds.
Then, you can file a case by contacting a personal injury attorney.
Common causes of brain injuries
Unfortunate events like accidents, sports incidents and intentional acts like assault, battery or other physical abuse can cause brain injuries. The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) conducted a study to identify the most common causes of brain injuries. In the CDC study, most TBI victims were children under 17 and many elderly adults over 65.
The primary causes of brain injuries include:
Falls: Poorly maintained places, such as restaurants with wet floors, can cause falls, constituting nearly half of all brain injuries.
Struck by/against an object: Contact sports like football or boxing often link brain injuries to being struck by an object. Approximately 1 in 4 children under 17 who experience a TBI are stuck by or against an object.
Auto accidents: The impact of a car accident can lead to severe whiplash and result in a traumatic brain injury. A car accident can also cause a TBI if a driver’s or passenger’s head collides with the dashboard, steering wheel, or airbag.
Other causes of brain injuries include assault and domestic violence: Traumatic brain injuries often occur in older people, particularly due to slip and falls. Additionally, high-impact sports like hockey and snowboarding pose a risk of brain injuries to individuals between the ages of 19 and 24.
How is traumatic brain injury diagnosed?
Brain injury assessment usually includes a neurological examination. This test assesses reflexes, coordination, eye movement, sensation and motor function. Imaging tests, including CT and MRI scans, cannot detect all TBIs.
Treatment for brain injuries focuses on addressing the symptoms that impact daily functioning:
- Use of medications.
- Learn the techniques to manage cognitive and behavioral challenges.
- Get involved in physical, occupational, and speech-language rehabilitation therapies.
- Use of assistive tools and technology for fast recovery.
Recovery is important, and we need to assess and treat brain injuries to allow for proper and expedient recovery. However, it is crucial for your health and a strong injury claim to seek medical help and advice.
Delaying medical care can raise doubts with insurers and jeopardize your claim. Get proper care and medical reports to avoid such issues and protect your rights.
