Types of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can range from mild to severe. The types of brain injuries include the following:

Concussion: A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow or jolt to the head, often which can lead to temporary cognitive and physical symptoms and, in some cases, recurring headaches and other symptoms.
Contusions: When the brain tissue is bruised by a direct impact, it may lead to swelling and bleeding, requiring surgery to release pressure.
Penetrating brain injury: When an object pierces the skull and enters the brain, the person often faces a lifetime of impairments, physical, emotional, and cognitive.
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI): When the brain’s connecting nerves, called “axons,” are damaged, the long-term impact may include seizures, headaches, cognitive impairments, difficulties with speech and language, emotional changes, blurred vision, and other consequences.
Coup-contrecoup injury: An impact that causes the brain to impact both inner sides of the skull, it may cause damage to both sides of the brain. These injuries can lead to impairments, including mobility, cognition, and memory loss, with changes in quality of life that may last a lifetime.
Hypoxic or anoxic brain injury: When the brain is deprived of oxygen, either partially (hypoxia) or completely (anoxia), such as in drowning cases, the individual may be left with permanent impairments, physical, cognitive, and emotional. The individual who survives may have seizures, experience speech and language issues, and require care for a lifetime.
Skull fracture: A break in the skull bone can cause a brain injury when bone fragments damage the tissue. These injuries may lead to cognitive impairments, seizures, changes in behavior, or, in the most serious cases, a vegetative state.

Who is Liable in a Brain Injury Case?

Washington State has a comparative fault system. In this system, even if you are partially at fault for the accident causing a brain injury, you may still be entitled to compensation. Determining fault in a brain injury case can be complicated and will require a thorough investigation into the facts, with the help of accident reconstruction experts when necessary. The party or parties responsible may include:

Negligent drivers
Property owners
Employers
Governmental agencies

Claims for Compensation

Washington State has a three-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims. You must file your claim within 36 months of the accident date or will be forever barred from filing a lawsuit to seek compensation. When a governmental agency is involved, the time frame is even shorter.

It is essential to contact Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers as soon as possible after the accident. When we take on a brain injury case, we act quickly to ensure all crucial evidence is collected and preserved and all legal filings are performed within the time allowed under state law.

What Types of Compensation Can be Pursued?

Every brain injury case is unique, and the consequences vary from person to person. Some patients recover fully with time, while others may never have the quality of life they had before the accident. In either case, the types of compensation sought in a brain injury case will include:

Economic damages: These are the financial losses from the brain injury, including medical bills, hospital bills, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, home remodels to accommodate a wheelchair or other medical equipment, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and future estimated lost earnings.
Non-economic damages: These damages are more personal, including pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, emotional anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and other impacts on the life experience of the injured individual.

I was in a car accident and tried to deal with the other insurance company on my own. The person I was dealing with was very aggressive and not easy to work with.
