Brain Injuries & How They Happen

Brain injuries occur when trauma damages the brain or disrupts normal brain function. Traumatic brain injuries cause lasting or permanent impairment that is never expected to fully heal on its own. With that said, even so-called “mild” brain injuries can produce serious symptoms, including frequent migraines, memory issues, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating.

More severe brain injuries can lead to cognitive decline, paralysis, speech problems, personality changes, or a complete loss of independence. Because the brain controls every aspect of your body’s functioning, the range of possible symptoms and complications is vast.

Brain injuries may result from many types of accidents, including:

• Motor vehicle crashes (car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle accidents)
• Pedestrian accidents involving vehicles
• Falls from heights or slip-and-fall incidents
• Workplace or construction accidents
• Sports or recreational injuries
• Violent assaults or blows to the head
• Medical malpractice, such as oxygen deprivation during surgery

Why Brain Injury Claims Require Extra Attention

Unlike a broken bone or soft tissue injury, a brain injury often cannot be fully “seen” through outward symptoms. Victims may appear physically fine, yet still suffer from debilitating cognitive or emotional changes that affect their ability to function. Hidden symptoms can make it difficult to communicate the severity of the injury to insurers or juries, especially when the defense tries to downplay or dismiss your experience.

Our TBI lawyers can work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners to evaluate the full scope of the injury. Any expert evidence we can gather can be used to demonstrate how the injury affects your ability to earn an income, maintain relationships, and live independently, and in a way that is clear to a judge, jury, or insurance company representative.

Long-Term Costs of a Brain Injury

The financial burden of a brain injury is often extreme. In addition to the immediate cost of hospitalization, many TBI survivors require years of care, or even lifelong care. The total cost of a severe brain injury can easily reach into the millions of dollars over a person’s lifetime.

Expenses and losses associated with a brain injury can include:

• Emergency and hospital care
• Surgeries and ongoing medical treatment
• In-home nursing or rehabilitation services
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
• Assistive devices or mobility equipment
• Medication and psychological counseling
• Home modifications for accessibility
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Long-term care facility costs if independent living is not possible

Our attorneys take these future costs into account when working on a TBI claim. Any compensation that we pursue should reflect the real value of your losses, not just what you have paid or experienced so far.

Maximizing Compensation for Brain Injury Clients in Irvine

The purpose of a personal injury claim is to restore, as much as possible, the life you had before the accident. In a brain injury case, that means accounting for both economic and non-economic damages. Everything from lost income to the pain of losing independence should be factored into the value of your claim.

You may be able to seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses, past and future
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Lost wages and loss of earning potential
• Pain and suffering, both physical and emotional
• Loss of enjoyment of life and diminished quality of life
• Permanent disability or cognitive impairment
• Lifelong home care and support services

If the injury was caused by extreme recklessness, such as gross medical negligence, punitive damages may also be available. Punitive damages are awarded, in rare cases, to punish wrongdoing and deter similar conduct in the future.

Proving Liability in a Brain Injury Case

Brain injury claims rely heavily on evidence that connects the negligent act to the injury and demonstrates the extent of the harm. Because insurers often dispute these connections, gathering and preserving evidence early is important.

Our legal team can conduct detailed investigations that may include:

• Accident reconstruction and expert testimony
• Witness statements and medical documentation
• Neuroimaging results and diagnostic testing
• Employment and financial records showing loss of income
• Testimony from doctors, rehabilitation specialists, and family members about the injury’s impact

By combining this evidence with expert evaluations, we can present a clear picture of how the brain injury occurred and how it continues to affect your life. This meticulous approach prepares us for negotiations and, when necessary, trial.

While many brain injury cases settle out of court, some go to trial to pursue full and fair compensation. Insurance companies are well aware of the high costs associated with brain injuries, and they often fight hard to minimize payouts. At United Attorney Group, we are not afraid of the courtroom because our attorneys have extensive trial experience and a proven record of securing substantial verdicts when insurers refuse to negotiate in good faith.
