Summary: A TBI can have a severe effect on a victim’s life for lengthy periods of time, and treatment for a TBI can be quite costly. Additionally, many TBI victims are unable to immediately return to school or work and therefore suffer additional losses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 2.5 million people in the United States suffer some type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on an annual basis. A TBI can have a severe effect on a victim’s life for lengthy periods of time, and treatment for a TBI can be quite costly. Additionally, many TBI victims are unable to immediately return to school or work and therefore suffer additional losses. Fortunately, if you have suffered a TBI due to the negligent or intentional act of another party, an experienced Alpharetta personal injury lawyer from the office of Boling Rice, LLC can help you get the recovery you deserve from the liable party.
Common causes of TBI
In order for a TBI victim to recover, they must have suffered their injury at the fault of another person. Some common incidents that lead to TBIs include the following:
- Auto accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Slip and falls
- Falls down stairs or from other heights
- Construction accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Birth injuries
- Sports injuries
- Assaults
- Accidents due to defective products
If you have suffered a TBI in any of the above incidents and believe it was someone else’s fault, you may be entitled to significant compensation in a personal injury case.
Why you deserve to recover
Responsible parties should have to compensate TBI victims because of the severe effects a TBI may have on a victim’s life. A TBI can cause physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive difficulties and may create challenges at work, school, or even in everyday conversation. Furthermore, not only may personal and professional relationships become strained, but TBI victims often must undergo extensive medical treatment and often incur overwhelming medical bills. For this reason, TBI victims should always look into the possibility of recovery by filing a legal claim.
