Traumatic Brain Injuries: An Overview

A traumatic brain injury is any injury caused by a violent jolt, bump, or blow to the head. As an initial matter, brain injuries are classified based on whether the skull was penetrated. 

Closed-head injuries occur because of the force of the brain moving back and forth within the skull. The movement alone can cause significant damage to the brain tissue. Open-head injuries, of course, are caused by a foreign object that has penetrated the skull and directly injured the brain tissue. 

Any type of brain injury can be mild, moderate, or severe. Even a relatively mild brain injury can significantly damage your life and quality of life. Many victims are unable to work, and brain injuries are nearly always expensive to treat.

We Handle All Types of Traumatic Brain Injury Cases in Mesa

We handle all types of brain injury cases, including cases involving:

• Concussions and repeat concussions
• Contusions, or bruising of the brain tissue
• Intracranial hematomas
• Cerebral hemorrhages
• Coup injuries
• Contrecoup injuries
• Coup-contrecoup injuries
• Diffuse axonal injuries (DAI)
• Anoxic and hypoxic injuries
• Skull fractures

Any type of brain injury carries a significant risk. It’s essential to seek prompt medical attention to reduce the risk of complications after any type of head trauma. It’s also possible that a victim could develop secondary brain injuries if the primary injury is not promptly treated. 

Still, even in the best-case scenario, victims often experience significant life changes. You may be unable to work during your recovery. After your condition is stable, it’s always a smart idea to contact an experienced attorney. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, we have the skills to help you hold them accountable. 

What Are Some Signs and Symptoms of Brain Injuries?

Some brain injuries are immediately obvious. Others can create symptoms that are much more subtle. 

Some signs that can indicate you’ve suffered a brain injury include:

• Loss of consciousness
• Blurred vision
• Dizziness
• Numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Persistent headache
• Nausea or vomiting 
• Trouble walking
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Trouble sleeping or waking from sleep
• Confusion or memory loss
• Personality changes and extreme irritability
• Seizures 

The nature of your symptoms will depend on the nature of the brain injury itself. It’s important that you take these symptoms seriously. Delays in medical treatment can allow an injury to worsen–and any delay will make it much more difficult to link your injuries to the trauma that caused them. 

How Much is My Mesa Brain Injury Case Worth?

As our lawyers are building your case, we’ll analyze a variety of factors that can impact its value, including:

• The nature of your brain injury
• Whether the brain injury was mild, moderate, or severe
• How much you’ve spent on medical treatment and other injury-related needs
• How much income you’ve lost during your recovery
• Whether you will make a full recovery
• Anticipated future impacts, considering impacts on your earning abilities and quality of life
• Projected future expenses 
• Whether shared fault is a legitimate issue in your case

As a general rule, more severe injuries tend to result in higher settlements or verdicts. Still, there’s no guarantee that the insurance company will hand over a fair settlement. In fact, you should be prepared for a fight when it comes to recovering the compensation you deserve.

How Do I Prove Negligence After Suffering a Brain Injury in Arizona? 

Most personal injury claims are based on negligence.

Negligence is a legal concept that involves four key elements:

• The defendant had a legal duty of care
• By a failure to exercise a reasonable amount of caution, they breached their duty
• The breach of duty was the direct and proximate cause of the injury
• The victim suffered damages as a result

The types of evidence that can be used to prove your case will depend on how the brain injury occurred. Our lawyers always conduct their own investigations. That way, we can ensure we have the strongest possible evidence to prove your case.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit if I Have Suffered a Brain Injury in Arizona?

The statute of limitations in Arizona is two years. You have two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This statute of limitations governs most personal injury cases, but it’s always possible that a different deadline may apply.
