What is Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic brain injury, also known as TBI, is a form of brain damage that’s caused by a sudden jolt or blow to the head. The most common causes of TBI include car accidents, slip and falls or trip and falls, workplace accidents, or assault and battery incidents. A traumatic brain injury is classified as one of the following:

• Concussion – mild injury to the head that may result in temporary loss of consciousness. Normally, concussions do not result in permanent brain damage.
• Contusion – a bruising of the brain caused by sudden impact to the head. The injury may be right underneath the area of impact, or on the opposite side.
• Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) – occurs when the brain jostles back and forth inside the skull, causing damage to the nerve axons. If there is extensive damage to the axons, there may be severe complications, such as swelling in the brain, death of the brain cells, and permanent brain damage.
• Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage or tSAH – bleeding into the part of the brain that’s filled with cerebrospinal fluid, which is the “cushion” that protects the brain. Due to the blood spreading over the brain’s surface, the patient will have a number of serious complications, such as seizures, loss of function, vision changes, and mood / personality changes.
• Hematoma – a blood clot in the brain that develops from the rupturing of a blood vessel. These are classified as epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, or intracerebral hematoma based on their location in the brain. The swelling and inflammation from a hematoma can cause seizures, problems with balance and coordination, speech difficulty, and vision loss / changes.

Brain injuries can be very difficult to recover from, and many victims are left with lifelong damage, which compromises their ability to perform basic tasks. Financial hardship is another tragic consequence of an accident that results in brain damage. However, you may be able to recover the expenses associated with your injuries if your accident was caused by another individual or entity.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Who can I Sue for my Accident?

Figuring out who is liable for your injuries is the most important aspect of a personal injury lawsuit. Essentially, you will need to show that someone else’s misconduct or negligence is the direct cause of your accident. As a result, you suffered one or more injuries, such as brain damage, which entitles you to monetary compensation.

For example, a car accident brain injury case may involve a driver that was texting while driving. If that driver hits another motorist or a pedestrian due to their reckless conduct, they can be sued for the victim’s financial and emotional losses. Another example is an accident at a store, such as a slip and fall due to a spill on the floor. California’s laws of premises liability require owners to take care of all hazards on their property that can lead to an accident. Thus, they are responsible if someone slips on the spilled liquid and sustains a brain injury.

In truth, liability is a very complicated subject that may not be so easy to determine with your own accident. Extensive knowledge of the laws, as well as the accident investigation process is needed to build a strong and solid case. The Spanish speaking brain damage lawyers of Normandie have what it takes to bring you the highest possible settlement for your injuries.

What if I got hurt at my Job?

Workplace injuries occur every 7 seconds in the United States, according to the National Safety Council. Accidents among workers are most common in physically demanding jobs like construction, transportation, warehousing, and manufacturing. As someone who was hurt on the job, you are entitled to monetary compensation through the state’s workers’ compensation program. To ensure that you receive the benefits you deserve, make sure to report your accident to your employer right away. They’ll initiate the claims process on your behalf and give you instructions on where to go for treatment.

In theory, the steps to claim workers’ compensation benefits are fairly straightforward. But it’s not unusual for workers to be taken advantage of when they lack English fluency. They can be easily misled on their legal rights or make mistakes on their paperwork, which can cause their claim to be denied. However, a language barrier doesn’t have to get in the way when you have one of our bilingual attorneys by your side. Please take a moment to contact us if you need assistance from a Spanish speaking workplace brain injury lawyer.

What is the Value of my Traumatic Brain Injury Case?

In California, a traumatic brain injury lawsuit may be worth over $1 million based on the extent of brain damage and the impact of the injury on the victim’s life. In cases where the injury is severe, meaning the plaintiff needs lifetime care and medical treatment, a brain damage injury settlement may exceed $10 million. Again, the value of your lawsuit depends on how the brain injury affects your life in terms of medical needs, diminished earning capacity, and ability to engage in daily tasks / activities and various other factors. A Spanish speaking traumatic brain injury lawyer at our practice can help you figure out the value of your case.

How long is the Settlement Process for these Cases?

The settlement process for an accident injury case can take around a few weeks to a few years to resolve, depending on the legal actions that are necessary to recover your damages. Our primary focus is to help you move forward with your life as quickly as possible, which is why we strive to settle all injury claims within 6 to 8 months. In reality, it’s important to understand that cases involving brain injury are extremely complex, and the timeline to negotiate an adequate payment can take up to 18 months. If it happens that a lawsuit is necessary, the length of time to settle your claim may be 2 or more years.

Do you need a Second Opinion on your Accident Case?

Right now, you may have a pending lawsuit or workers’ comp claim with a Spanish-speaking lawyer at another firm. However, you have questions and concerns about your case, and want to seek the advice of another attorney. We are happy to help with a free second opinion, where you can discuss anything that’s on your mind with a legal expert at our office. Along with answers to your questions, we will recommend actions you can take if it appears that your case is on the wrong track. With that being said, there is no pressure to take any action that you are not 100% comfortable with. Please give us a call to take advantage of a free second opinion.

Statute of Limitations for Accident Injury Claims

Statute of limitations refers to the amount of time that you are given to sue another party if they are responsible for your injuries. This timeframe depends on the type of accident you’ve had, as well as your personal circumstances. The statute of limitations for most injury cases (car accidents and slip and falls, for example) is two years, meaning that your lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of the accident date. However, the SOL for a workplace injury case is only 1 year, with the provision that you must report your injuries to your employer within 30 days of your accident. This is undeniably a complicated issue that must be discussed with a knowledgeable attorney. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you would like to verify the statute of limitations that applies to your situation.
