Brain Injury Claims

Brain injuries can be life-altering, whether mild or severe. Types of brain injuries include:

• Concussions: Caused by sudden jolts or direct head impact, often leading to symptoms like headaches, dizziness and memory issues
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Involves severe bruising and injury of brain tissue from forceful impacts
• Diffuse axonal injuries: Results from violent shaking or rotational forces affecting the brain

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of TBIs, accounting for nearly 48% of cases, especially among young children and older adults. Another major cause is car accidents, which are responsible for approximately 20% of TBI-related hospitalizations, with injuries often resulting from high-speed collisions or whiplash.

Symptoms of brain injuries may appear immediately or develop over time, sometimes causing long-term cognitive, emotional and physical challenges.

When due to an accident, brain injury victims must often deal with insurmountable medical costs, ongoing therapy needs and reduced quality of life. When another’s negligence causes brain trauma, legal claims may help cover the extensive medical expenses and support needed for recovery.

Back Injury Claims

Back injuries are among the most common injuries sustained in accidents and can lead to chronic pain, disability and reduced mobility. Types of back injuries include:

• Sprains
• Strains
• Herniated discs
• Fractured vertebrae
• Spinal cord injuries

Each type of injury has its unique challenges. For example, a herniated disc can lead to nerve pain radiating down the legs, while spinal cord injuries may cause partial or complete paralysis.

Car accidents and falls are leading causes of serious back injuries, with motor vehicle accidents causing high-impact trauma that can severely damage the spine. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), motor vehicle collisions account for nearly 40% of spinal cord injuries in the U.S., while falls contribute to around 30%, especially among older adults.

Back injuries can affect a person’s ability to work and perform daily tasks, requiring extensive care, physical therapy or even surgery. Pursuing a back injury claim with attorney guidance can help cover these costs and allow room for rehabilitation and recovery.
