Fighting for Victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Brooklyn
Every year, an estimated 1.4 million Americans suffer a head injury and/or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Tens of thousands die as a result. Roughly another 80,000 each year will experience lifelong or long-term disabilities and complications due to their traumatic brain injury.
When an accident is the source of those injuries, as they are in most cases, the party that caused the accident could be held liable for a lifetime of damages – but only if the victim or their family know what to do about it.

How Traumatic Brain Injuries Occur
Brain injuries often occur when the head is struck harshly or is shaken suddenly. Some safety groups like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that at least half of all TBIs in the country are caused by vehicle accidents.
A sudden jerking motion to the neck can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull and cause a concussion, too. This type of abrupt and dangerous movement is common in rear-end accidents, causing both whiplash and a TBI.
Traumatic brain injuries can also be caused by oxygen deprivation, unsafe blood toxicity levels, and high fevers that last for many hours. Oftentimes, such brain injury causes can be linked to a medical setting and some form of medical malpractice, such as failing to monitor a patient’s vital signs while they are in surgery.
Common causes of traumatic brain injuries:
- Construction accidents
- Vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Workplace accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bus accidents
