Lewisville Brain Injuries (TBI) Attorney

Catastrophic and Brain Injuries Attorney in Denton County

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is nearly always considered a catastrophic injury. Catastrophic injuries are life-altering, and they can have a long-term or permanent on your health and well-being. Traumatic brain injuries can irrevocably change many aspects of your life and even who you are as a person. Although many brain injuries improve with time and treatment—and a lot of hard work on the victim's part—they generally lead to some degree of permanent disability. Many people who sustain this type of injury will never be able to return to their jobs or responsibilities, and they may require lifelong care. The amount of compensation in these cases is often quite high, as it is meant to make up for all the costs and losses associated with the injury.

Motor Vehicle Accidents and TBI

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of TBIs in Texas. Serious accidents often result in brain injuries despite the protection offered by a vehicle or protective equipment. Common types of motor vehicle accidents that lead to TBI include:

• Motorcycle accidents - Motorcycles offer almost no protection to their riders. Even when the rider was wearing an appropriate helmet, a hard collision can send a helmet flying, or a blow to the head can injure a person's brain.
• Truck accidents - Big rig accidents are especially dangerous. A car getting hit by an 18-wheeler can be as bad as a motorcycle being struck by a car. Most normal personal vehicles simply cannot withstand that type of impact.
• Drunk driving accidents - Part of the reason drunk driving accidents are so dangerous is that, unlike sober but careless drivers, drunk drivers rarely have the reaction speed to start braking before impact. This means that others are often hit by a car traveling at full speed.

Premises Liability and Traumatic Brain Injuries

If you were injured while visiting another party's property, such as a store or restaurant, you may be entitled to compensation. Common types of premises accidents that cause TBIs include:

• Slip-and-fall - When a person slips, trips, and falls, they may hit their head against the floor.
• Swimming pool accidents - People may be injured when diving into water that is more shallow than it looks, or they may suffer brain injuries after slipping and falling on an overly slick surface. Poorly placed diving boards or a lack of signage indicating water depth can create a risk for head injuries.

Defective Products and Serious Head Injuries

Defective auto parts are particularly dangerous, because they can lead to very serious accidents. Tire blowouts, brake failure, and steering column failure can put drivers and their passengers at risk of an unavoidable collision. Defective airbags are another common source of danger. When an airbag inappropriately deploys, it can put sudden, immense pressure on a driver's or passenger's head.

It may be difficult to tell whether an accident was caused by poor driving or a defective auto part. Determining the true cause of an accident may require a skilled investigation by an attorney. Our lawyers have the knowledge and experience needed to properly investigate accidents, gather evidence, and prove that brain injuries and other injuries were caused by the negligence of product manufacturers or other parties.
