When an accident strikes, injury follows, and you cannot choose the type of injury you will sustain. The worst that you can get from a catastrophic accident is traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since you can no longer turn back time to prevent this, the best thing to do is make the liable party pay for his negligent actions. Speak with the finest trial traumatic brain injury Los Angeles attorney to help with your case.
What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury is a sort of acquired brain injury that occurs due to an abrupt trauma, causing damage to the brain. It manifests when the head directly and forcibly hits a hard object. TBI also occurs when an object bores into the skull and infiltrates the brain tissues.
A person with TBI can experience mild, moderate, or serious symptoms depending on the degree of damage to the brain. Among the major causes of TBI include:
- Slips and falls
- Vehicle accidents
- Violence/Assaults
- Being knocked by or against an object
- Playing heavy and contact sports (boxing, football, basketball, and MMA)
- Military exercises (gunshots, explosions, and shrapnel)

What Compensation Can You Acquire from a Traumatic Brain Injury?
It is just right to acquire fair compensation for your TBI caused by the negligent action of another person or entity. You may file a personal injury claim with the help of a Los Angeles traumatic brain injury lawyer to cover for the following:
Medical Expenses. TBI is a serious injury and needs special medical attention and regular check-up to see the progress of the treatment. It requires a considerable amount of money because doctors will use different kinds of medical equipment for your treatment, tests, check-ups, and physical therapy, not to mention doctor’s fees and any necessary head surgery.
Loss of earnings and disability. Most victims who suffer from TBIs can’t go back to work anymore. In such cases, they can claim compensation for loss of wages and depleted earning capacity.
Pain and suffering. A traumatic brain injury is a stressful experience, emotionally and physically. Following an accident, you could seek compensation for physical pain, loss of enjoyment in life, emotional suffering, mental anguish, as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Other Losses. You can use the compensation you may get for property damage, vocational training, child care, domestic services, and other services you need because of the injury.
