Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Orange County

Brain injuries can happen in all kinds of situations, but the most common causes we see include:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Pedestrian knockdowns
  • Falls (especially on unsafe property)
  • Workplace injuries
  • Sports or recreational trauma
  • Assaults

If your injury happened because someone failed to take reasonable care, on the road, on their property, or anywhere else, we can help you hold them accountable.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is any damage to the brain caused by a violent jolt, blow, or impact. 

There are two main types:

  • Closed head injuries, where the skull remains intact
  • Open head injuries, where the skull is fractured or penetrated

TBIs are more common than most people realize. According to studies, about 2.5 million people in the U.S. suffer traumatic brain injuries each year, and over 80,000 end up with permanent disabilities.

Our attorneys for brain injury work closely with medical experts to understand the full extent of your injury and how it affects your daily life: now and into the future.

What Are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Not all brain injuries are immediately obvious. Some symptoms show up days or weeks later. It’s critical to know what to watch for and why we take every symptom seriously.

Some common symptoms of brain trauma include:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Severe or persistent headaches
  • Dizziness or balance issues
  • Confusion or memory problems
  • Vision changes or sensitivity to light
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Emotional changes or personality shifts

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, call us. Our Orange County brain injury attorneys will review your case and help you get the care and compensation you need.

Types of Brain Injuries We Handle

Every case is different. Our Orange County brain injury attorneys handle claims involving:

  • Concussions
  • Contusions (brain bruising)
  • Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)
  • Epidural and subdural hematomas
  • Skull fractures
  • Whiplash-related brain trauma
  • Spinal cord injuries with associated brain damage

Not sure what type of brain injury you or your loved one has? We’ll review your medical records, talk to specialists, and help you understand your condition and your rights.

Brain Trauma Doesn’t Always Involve a Head Impact

You don’t need to hit your head to suffer a brain injury. In many cases, the brain is injured by rapid acceleration or deceleration, such as:

  • Whiplash during a car crash
  • A fall that causes the brain to bounce within the skull
  • Blast waves or sudden jolts in high-impact environments

These are known as coup-contrecoup injuries and can be just as serious as a direct impact.

We’ve handled many cases where our clients didn’t even realize they had a TBI until weeks later. If you’re experiencing symptoms, don’t wait to get checked out. And once you do, talk to us.

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Still Deserves Full Compensation

“Minor” doesn’t mean unimportant. Even a mild traumatic brain injury (such as a concussion) can lead to long-term consequences, including:

  • Chronic headaches
  • Concentration and memory issues
  • Emotional swings or anxiety
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Trouble returning to work or school

Our Orange County brain injury lawyers understand that even subtle symptoms can disrupt your life. We’ll work to prove your injury, connect you with the right specialists, and fight for the maximum compensation you’re owed.

Consult With A Proven Truck Accident Law Firm.

JSM Injury Firm APC

While the presence of a commercial truck or bus makes any car accident more complicated, it also means there is a higher likelihood of damages. To prove negligence in a personal injury claim involving a commercial vehicle, you must show:

  • There was a duty owed; that is, the negligent party had an obligation to follow the rules of the road, just as you did.
  • That duty was breached; that is, the negligent party failed to follow the rules of the road.
  • The breach caused an accident.
  • You were injured due to the accident.

The injured party must prove each of the above four elements. However, having an experienced truck accident law firm on your side can help you prove these elements and maximize your potential for success. Contact us today to learn how we can help you following a commercial vehicle accident. We represent clients all over California, including Orange County, San Bernardino, Riverside, Anaheim and many others. Call 949-404-4826 today, or click here for a free case evaluation.
