Traumatic brain injuries are some of the most heartbreaking conditions that can occur after a car or motorcycle accident. Sometimes a brain injury happens as a result of a slip and fall or another type of accident. 

Regardless of how it happens, a head or brain injury can be mild or it can seriously impact the life of the individual. 

Depending on the part of the brain that was impacted, the injured individual could lose the ability to see, hear, talk to loved ones, or even move their arms and legs. 

Types of Brain Injuries

Certain parts of the brain control someone’s personality and emotions. These character traits could also be changed following a severe head injury. People who suffer a head or brain injury will also require extensive rehabilitation as they attempt to recover close to their baseline. These logistical complications can place a significant amount of stress on a person’s family and friends.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Those who suffer neurological damage could face complications or comorbidities for the rest of their life. While this has a severe impact on the patient’s quality of life, it also impacts their friends and family members. Examples of actions leading to traumatic brain injuries include:

  • Negligence: If someone does not exercise an appropriate level of care and this inaction leads to a traumatic brain injury, the other party could be negligent. Examples of negligent conduct could include the medical field. If a medical professional does not exercise appropriate diagnostic techniques or treatment modalities and the patient suffers a brain injury, they could be held responsible.
  • Product Liability: Someone who is injured while using a defective product could have a claim. For example, if someone suffers a head injury while riding a motorcycle that was defective, the manufacturer could be held responsible.
  • Drunk Driving: Everyone has been told not to drink and drive. If someone is intoxicated while behind the wheel of a car, they could collide with another vehicle. If someone in that vehicle suffers a severe head injury, the drunk driver could be responsible.
