A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is generally caused by a strong impact or blow to the head. They can have debilitating and lifelong consequences, depending on their severity. If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI from a car accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a TBI as a disruption in the normal function in the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury. When a TBI occurs, it is such a strong force that the brain can violently move within the skull, and thus damage the brain itself. The CDC also found that motor vehicle crashes were one of the most common mechanisms of injury contributing to a TBI-related death in 2014, at 18.7%.

TBIs from a car accident require immediate medical attention since it can lead to dire complications. For instance, an accident may cause the brain to hemorrhage (bleed). Brain hemorrhages can cause brain cells to die as time goes on, so it is a very time-sensitive situation requiring a medical professional to take action to stop the bleeding and prevent any further damage to the brain. TBIs are extremely serious injuries that can be costly to treat and completely fix, if possible. The changes that you endure in your life after this type of injury can also be very intense and shocking. We can help you pursue legal action against the other party that may have caused this accident, and you can be compensated for the medical bills and other damages that you experienced.
