Our Stockton brain injury attorneys explain the different types of traumatic brain injuries.
In simple terms, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes damage to the brain, usually by way of impact with another object, which may break the skin or damage the skull, forceful movements like shaking, or exposure to extreme explosions in proximity to the victim. The force of the impact, regardless of type, either temporarily or permanently disrupts the brain’s normal function, and the resulting damage can range from mild to severe. Our Stockton brain injury attorneys have represented many people who have suffered TBIs with and without any penetration of the skin or skull.
The Lifetime Costs of Caring for a Loved One with a Brain Injury
The financial lifetime costs of caring for someone with a brain injury can be devastating for loved ones. It is almost without exception, mentally and physically exhausting. However, it is also something that loved ones don’t even have to think twice about: your family member, whether a spouse, child, or other relative, needs significant and even round-the-clock care, and you want to make sure you can provide it.
The Stockton brain injury attorneys at Eason & Tambornini have decades of expertise in carefully and skillfully building a case for the maximum settlement possible. If you are the primary caregiver of a loved one with a brain injury, the last thing you want to do is walk away without a full and fair settlement.
Stockton Brain Injury Attorneys Who Fight for Maximum Compensation
The short—and long-term effects of brain injuries vary dramatically, which means compensation for those injuries does, too. Whether our clients have experienced moderate or severe injuries, our Stockton brain injury attorneys will skillfully prepare an individualized strategy for every client to obtain the maximum compensation possible.
FAQ: What if a person can’t work again after a brain injury?
In many cases, spouses must fight for the compensation they would have usually received if the victim continued earning a living doing the same job they had before the injury. The most severe cases of TBI result in the victim never being able to work again or permanently remaining in a coma or coma-like state. Our personal injury attorneys in Stockton will assess all of these factors, including the medical prognoses for the future, medical expenses, and loss of earning power, when determining a settlement amount to fight for.
FAQ: What are the symptoms of a severe brain injury?
Some of the most common symptoms associated with severe brain injuries include:
- Disruption to or loss of consciousness for any amount of time
- Loss of coordination
- Feelings of numbness or weakness in the toes and fingers
- Persistent, severe headaches
- Vomiting
- Seizures
Other symptoms of less severe brain injuries include nausea, blurred vision, and fatigue.
Treating Brain Injuries
Unfortunately, the brain’s complexity makes it difficult for doctors to pinpoint how long symptoms may last or what impacts the injury may have later. Neurological exams, neuropsychological assessments, and neuroimaging testing such as MRI and CT scans are standard. They can offer details about the severity of a brain injury and the possibility of permanent brain damage.
Our Stockton brain injury attorneys ensure that clients pursue all possible evaluation options when determining the extent of the injury, which directly affects compensation.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries our Stockton Brain Injury Attorneys See
Our Stockton brain injury lawyers have represented clients suffering from mild, moderate, and severe/traumatic brain injuries. These include sports- and work-related injuries. Other common causes of brain injuries include vehicle and motorcycle accidents, which the roads in and around Stockton are unfortunately no stranger to.
The Hidden Costs of Traumatic Brain Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates the cost of traumatic brain injuries in the U.S. at more than $75 million. Factors contributing to this staggering amount include the need for long-term need for care, physical and occupational therapy, and medications, any of which some head trauma victims may need for the rest of their lives.
How is compensation for a brain injury calculated?
After extensive medical testing and exams, a doctor or team of doctors may better understand the extent of a brain injury’s long-term consequences. Our Stockton brain injury attorneys regularly communicate with clients’ medical professionals, rehabilitation specialists, educators, vocational counselors, and financial and tax planners to understand the economic impact on the victim and the family. Then, a monetary settlement can be attempted. A critical skill distinguishing our Stockton brain injury attorneys from others is their practice of not settling a claim too soon or taking the first offer made by the responsible party.
