A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force, such as a blow to the head, falls, or a vehicle accident causes damage to the brain. TBIs can range from mild to severe, and their effects can have a lasting impact on a personโ€™s life, affecting their cognitive functions, physical health, emotional stability, and ability to work.

Too often, traumatic brain injuries happen on the job, leaving workers with a complicated path forward as they navigate the workersโ€™ compensation claims process. At Daggett Shuler, our compassionate personal injury attorneys well-versed in work-related TBI cases stand ready to protect your rights and help secure your recovery as you focus on healing.

Leading Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury

The most common causes of traumatic brain injury (TBI) include:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are the leading causes of TBI. The impact of a collision can cause the brain to hit the skull, resulting in concussions or more severe injuries.
  • Falls Falls, especially from heights or due to slips and trips, are a major cause of TBI. Common in older adults and children, these accidents can lead to brain trauma from direct impact or the force of the fall.
  • Workplace Accidents Hazards in construction sites, factories, or industrial settings can lead to TBIs. Falling objects, machinery accidents, or falls from heights are frequent causes of brain injuries at work.

Common Types of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries can range widely in severity, from mild concussions to life-threatening injuries like intracranial hematomas and penetrating wounds. Early detection and treatment are critical in minimizing long-term damage. The most common types of traumatic brain injury (TBI) include:

  • Concussion: The most frequent type of TBI, usually caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions are often mild but can have long-lasting effects, especially with repeated incidents.
  • Contusion: A bruise on the brain, typically caused by a direct blow to the head. It can result in bleeding or swelling in the brain and can lead to significant neurological problems depending on its size and location.
  • Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): This occurs when the brain moves rapidly within the skull, causing widespread damage to the brainโ€™s white matter. It is often caused by severe acceleration or deceleration, such as in car crashes. DAI can lead to coma or long-term disability.
  • Penetrating Injury: A penetrating brain injury occurs when an object, like a bullet or piece of shrapnel, punctures the skull and damages brain tissue. This type of brain injury can lead to significant neurological impairment depending on the objectโ€™s trajectory and the area of the brain affected.
  • Intracranial Hematoma: This occurs when blood collects inside the skull, either within the brain tissue or between the brain and the skull. It happens when blood vessels are torn, causing pressure on the brain. If not treated promptly, intracranial hematoma can lead to serious complications.

How a Traumatic Brain Injury Can Affect Your Life

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can significantly impact a person's life, with effects ranging from mild to severe. Even a mild TBI such as a concussion can lead to long-term cognitive issues which may include memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and impaired judgment if not treated appropriately. More severe TBIs may cause permanent physical disabilities, such as paralysis, vision problems, and chronic pain, affecting the ability to perform daily activities.

In addition to physical and cognitive impairments, TBIs can also result in emotional and mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and personality changes. These effects can strain relationships and make social interactions difficult. Furthermore, many TBI victims are unable to return to work, leading to financial hardship and additional stress on themselves and their families. The consequences of a TBI are far-reaching, affecting nearly every aspect of a person's life.

  • Anxiety or depression: Increased feelings of worry, sadness, or hopelessness, which can stem from the emotional toll of TBI.
  • Irritability: Heightened sensitivity to stress, frustration, or anger, often without apparent cause.
  • Difficulty controlling emotions: Struggling to manage emotional reactions, such as outbursts or feeling overwhelmed.
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep: Difficulty sleeping, either from restlessness or trouble staying asleep throughout the night.

Understanding Your Legal Rights as a TBI Victim

As a victim of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by negligence, you have specific legal rights to help you seek justice and compensation for your injury. Here are some of the rights you may have:

You have the right to seek compensation for medical costs related to your injury. This includes:

  • Emergency medical treatment

  • Ongoing medical care, surgeries, or rehabilitation

  • Prescription medications and medical devices (e.g., prosthetics, wheelchairs)

  • Therapy, such as physical, cognitive, or speech therapy

If your TBI has caused you to miss work, you are entitled to seek compensation for your lost wages due to your injury. If your injury results in long-term disability that prevents you from working in the future, you may also be entitled to compensation for future lost earnings.

You have the right to seek compensation for the physical and emotional pain you endure due to your brain injury. This includes:

  • Chronic pain, discomfort, or disability caused by the injury

  • Emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD

  • Loss of enjoyment of life due to limitations caused by the injury

You may be entitled to punitive damages if the negligent partyโ€™s actions were especially egregious or malicious. These damages are intended to punish the responsible party, deter similar future actions, and compensate you for your injuries.

You can hire an attorney to represent you in your TBI claim. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of personal injury law, handle communications with insurance companies, gather evidence, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

You can file a personal injury lawsuit if the injury was caused by someone else's negligence (e.g., in a car accident, workplace accident, or slip-and-fall). This legal action allows you to pursue compensation from the responsible party or their insurance company.

If your TBI results in a long-term or permanent disability, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. If you cannot work due to your injury, these benefits can help provide financial support.

If your TBI occurred while working, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits, regardless of fault. These benefits typically cover medical costs, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to file a claim with the at-fault partyโ€™s insurance company or your own. Insurance claims can cover medical costs, lost wages, and other damages related to the injury.

You have the right to seek rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, cognitive therapy, and other treatments to help you recover and regain independence. You may also have access to support services for emotional well-being, such as counseling or support groups.

After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.
