Types of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can occur in many different ways, from car accidents and falls to sports injuries and acts of violence. Furthermore, depending on where the injury occurs in the brain, its severity, and the overall health of the victim, the impact on a person's well-being and day-to-day capabilities will vary. Many people who suffer any type of brain injury generally suffer from cognitive, physical, and emotional challenges. Understanding the specific nature of the brain injury is vital for determining the appropriate medical care and rehabilitation needed, as well as what compensation might be justified through a lawsuit against the party that caused it.

Four common types of brain injuries include::

• Concussion: A mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often caused by a blow to the head or sudden movement that shakes the brain inside the skull, leading to temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, headaches, and dizziness. Even though a concussion is called a “mild” TBI, it can still cause severe, life-changing complications.
• Contusion: A bruise on the brain tissue resulting from direct impact to the head, causing localized bleeding and swelling, which can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and cognitive changes.
• Diffuse axonal injury (DAI): Caused by strong rotational forces or severe shaking, this type of injury involves widespread damage to the brain's white matter, disrupting communication between different brain regions and possibly leading to a coma or persistent vegetative state. DAIs are common in violent car accidents, such as rollovers.
• Penetrating injury: Occurs when an object pierces the skull and enters the brain tissue, causing severe damage along the path of the object and potentially resulting in significant neurological deficits, infection, and long-term disability.

Long-Lasting Impact of Brain Injuries

A brain injury often leaves long-lasting impacts that can permanently alter a person's capabilities and quality of life. Understanding these permanent changes is necessary to prepare a strong brain injury claim that pursues the right amount of compensation.

People with TBIs often struggle with:

• Cognitive impairments: Difficulty with memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functions, which can affect daily tasks and employment opportunities.
• Physical disabilities: Persistent issues such as paralysis, loss of coordination, and chronic pain, which can limit mobility and independence.
• Emotional and behavioral changes: Alterations in personality, mood swings, depression, and anxiety, potentially straining relationships and affecting mental health.
• Communication difficulties: Challenges with speech, understanding language, and expressing thoughts, which can hinder social interactions and professional communication.

Grounds for a Brain Injury Lawsuit

The grounds for filing a brain injury lawsuit typically center around proving that the injury was caused by another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. This process can involve demonstrating that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, that this duty was breached, and that the breach directly resulted in the brain injury, leading to significant damages and hardships. Establishing these facts will set the groundwork for filing a claim that will be accepted by a civil court of law.

Damages in a Brain Injury Lawsuit

The total damages in a brain injury claim can be significant due to the severity and permanency of the injury, which often results in extensive medical treatment, long-term care, lost earning capacity, and profound changes in the survivor’s quality of life. At Alvandi Law Group, P.C., our California brain injury lawyers meticulously calculate these damages to pursue a full, fair amount for every person we represent. Thanks to our extensive experience and resources, we can handle cases that may be concluded through settlement negotiations or by going to trial, whichever is needed.

The two main types of damages that may apply to your brain injury claim are:

• Economic damages include quantifiable financial losses such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future earning potential, and any other expenses incurred due to the brain injury. They reflect the direct monetary cost of the injury and its treatment.
• Non-economic damages address the intangible effects of the brain injury, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium. They compensate for the profound and often lifelong changes to your well-being and day-to-day experiences.

Statute of Limitations on California TBI Lawsuits

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a brain injury lawsuit typically requires that the claim be filed within two years from the date of the injury. This time frame must not be overlooked because failing to file within this period generally results in losing the right to pursue legal action and seek compensation. However, certain exceptions may extend or shorten this deadline, such as if the injury was not immediately discovered or if the liable party was a government entity. Given the complexities involved with statutes of limitations, you should consult with our experienced TBI attorneys about the specifics of your case.
