A direct blow to the head or strong gravitational force exerted on the head, can damage the fragile skull and lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs occur when something jars or punctures the brain, making it swell or bleed within the skull. No two TBIs are the same. Each has unique signs, symptoms, and outcomes.

In most cases, the skull will protect the brain from serious harm. If the brain does sustain harm, the victim can experience a multitude of symptoms: nausea, headaches, vomiting, confusion, loss of motor function, memory loss, dizziness, and changes in mood. Serious head injuries can lead to seizures, coma, and death.
Brain injuries that stem from loss of oxygen to the brain, as in birth or anesthesia errors, can result in permanent brain damage. No matter what harms you suffered because of your head trauma, talk to an experienced brain injury attorney. Your case deserves legal attention.

Types of Compensation for Damages Available in a Brain Injury Cases
Our California brain injury attorneys are often asked by clients about the value of their cases. In the case of a major head or brain injury, victims can often garner large award amounts. Brain injuries are “catastrophic” in the eyes of the court, meaning they have permanent effects on the victim.
If an accident victim suffers a life-changing injury that prevents him or her from returning to work or having the same quality of life he/she previously enjoyed, the courts may award significant compensation for these devastating losses. Damages can include:
This includes hospital bills, ambulance fees, tests and x-rays, surgeries, medications, medical equipment, rehabilitation, therapies, and live-in care. All past and future medical bills relating to your accident.
Head and brain injury victims often undergo physical pain and emotional suffering. These intangible damages are difficult to quantify, but the courts use an equation to put a monetary value on them.
Serious brain injuries can result in disability and the inability to return to work. The courts may award compensation for lost wages, including future wages, promotions, and earning capacity.
If your injuries left you permanently disabled, reliant on live-in care, or unable to care for yourself, you could sue for lost quality of life. The courts will take your age and previous health into account when awarding this damage.
