Brain Injury Lawyers in Los Angeles

The brain is a highly complex and essential organ in the human body. It is the center of the nervous system and determines what actions you make. It controls your thoughts, movements, emotions, memory, vision, touch, respiration. There are several symptoms and types of brain injury and each one should not be ignored. Even a minor brain injury can lead to significant damage and long-lasting harm.

If you were injured because of some else’s wrongful conduct or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Brain injury victims may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages such as money for lost wages, diminished earning capacity, medical bills, medical monitoring, lifestyle changes, pain and suffering, and future damages. Some victims who suffer from severe brain injury may also be entitled to compensation for life-long care for at home and other necessities they’re no longer able to do because of their injury.

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

A TBI is caused by an external force—such as a bump, blow, or jolt—that disrupts the normal function of the brain. These are generally classified into two categories:

1. Non-Penetrating (Closed) TBI: Caused by an external force that makes the brain move rapidly inside the skull, often leading to swelling or blood clots.

2. Penetrating (Open) TBI: Occurs when an object, such as a bullet or debris, punctures the skull and enters the brain tissue.

Common Types of Brain Injuries

• Concussions: The most common TBI, often resulting from “mild” impacts but capable of causing long-term confusion and memory loss.

• Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): Caused by the shearing of brain fibers when the head rotates or shakes violently.

• Contusions & Hematomas: Bruising or blood clotting on the brain that may require surgical intervention.

• Anoxic/Hypoxic Injury: Damage caused by a total or partial lack of oxygen to the brain.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects

Symptoms may appear immediately or evolve over weeks. It is critical to monitor for:

• Physical: Persistent headaches, seizures, loss of coordination, or sensory sensitivity.

• Cognitive: Memory loss, difficulty finding words, and impaired “executive function” (planning and decision-making).

• Emotional: Sudden mood swings, depression, anxiety, or uncharacteristic impulsiveness.

Long-Term Impact

Moderate to severe TBIs often result in lasting disabilities affecting gross motor skills (walking, balance) and fine motor skills (writing, speaking). Many victims require lifelong care and cognitive behavioral therapy to manage these changes.

Immediate Steps to Take After Head Trauma

1. Seek Medical Care Immediately: Even if you feel “fine,” a medical professional must rule out internal bleeding or swelling.

2. Follow Doctor’s Orders: Avoid all strenuous activity or contact sports that could lead to a second, more dangerous injury.

3. Document Everything: Keep a journal of your symptoms and save all medical records and bills.

4. Contact a TBI Attorney: Before speaking to insurance companies, ensure your rights are protected by a legal professional.
