brainInjury Brain Injury Lawsuit

Traumatic brain injury is often the result of a severe impact to the
head. Motor vehicle accidents, falls or medical mistakes cause the
majority of traumatic brain injuries. While the nature of the trauma
may be obvious, there is often a hidden cause of the accident.

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS: Whether or not there is any
driver error, the vehicle manufacturer may be largely or fully
responsible for your brain injury. This is because the manufacturer
may have designed or built a vehicle that did not protect its
occupants.

Examples:

The vehicle may have rolled over because it was unstable (top
heavy)

Improper roof, windshield or door design of the vehicle may have
allowed too much crush to occur

Problems with, or the absence of, seatbelts or airbags in the
vehicle may also cause brain injury

Defective tires have been known to come apart and cause
accidents leading to serious inury

There is also the possibility that the roadway was negligently
designed or maintained.

FALLS: Brain injuries may also result from:

Falls from ladders

Swimming pool diving accidents

Falls or crashes involving amusement park rides

Many brain injuries from these types of accidents are the result of
poor design or faulty construction by a manufacturer. The
manufacturer may be legally responsible for brain injuries suffered
by the consumer.

MEDICAL MISTAKE: Examples of medical mistakes that may cause
brain injury:

A baby suffering a lack of oxygen during pregnancy, labor or delivery
Improper administration of anesthesia during surgery
Delay in diagnosis and treatment of stroke or brain tumor
