Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries We Handle

Brain injuries range from mild concussions to severe, permanent damage. Our San Jose legal team handles complex brain trauma cases, including:

Concussions (Mild TBI)

Concussions are the most common brain injury. They are frequently undiagnosed because victims might not realize the extent of the damage right away. Without prompt treatment, a concussion can cause prolonged memory loss, vision problems, and emotional distress. Always seek immediate medical attention after a blow to the head, even if you feel fine.

Cerebral Contusions

A cerebral contusion is a localized bruise on the brain tissue that causes internal bleeding. These injuries can lead to memory loss, cognitive impairment, and severe swelling. Patients often require emergency surgery to relieve pressure inside the skull.

Penetrating Head Trauma

This happens when an object fractures the skull and enters the brain tissue. These are catastrophic injuries with high mortality rates. Survivors face severe, lifelong complications, including vision loss, motor function impairment, and dangerous hemorrhaging.

Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)

A DAI occurs when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull. This is common in high-speed traffic collisions or violent shaking. The connecting fibers in the brain tear, which frequently results in a coma. Victims who wake from a DAI coma often suffer permanent brain damage.

The Devastating Cost of Brain Injuries

The financial impact of a brain injury is staggering. The Centers for Disease Control estimates the lifetime economic cost of a severe TBI can exceed millions of dollars. We aggressively pursue full compensation to cover:

  • Immediate Medical Expenses: Emergency room care, surgeries, and ICU stays.
  • Long-Term Rehabilitation: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation if the victim can no longer work or is forced to take a lower-paying job.
  • Life Care Needs: In-home nursing, home modifications, and specialized medical equipment.
  • Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for your loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and physical pain.
