California Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

As their name suggests, traumatic brain injuries are serious. If you have been hurt, you may feel the consequences for weeks, months, and even years later. Traumatic brain injuries also occur much more commonly than many people think. Any type of accident caused by carelessness can result in a traumatic brain injury, but some of the most common ways these injuries are incurred include:

• Car crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Premises liability accidents, including slip and falls
• Pedestrian accidents
• Defective products
• Acts of violence, including police brutality
• Dog bites
• Medical malpractice

Most of the above types of accidents are entirely preventable and they only happen because of another person’s negligence or carelessness. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, it is important to speak to a California traumatic brain injury lawyer who can help you claim the full damages you deserve.

After sustaining other types of injuries, such as broken bones or road rash, you will likely realize it right away. The same is not true about traumatic brain injuries. Traumatic brain injuries do not always present symptoms right away. You could be involved in an accident and only weeks later, after suffering from regular headaches and sensitivity to light, do you realize you may have an injury.

It is for this reason it is so critical to seek a doctor after any accident. A doctor will perform a full examination and identify any injury you have suffered. This is important so you can seek treatment for your injuries and prevent them from becoming worse. Seeking immediate medical treatment can also protect any future claim you file. If you do not see a doctor, the insurer representing the negligent party will claim that you were not hurt because you did not seek treatment.
