Causes of Brain Injuries

Sometimes, brain injuries occur in accidents or situations that could have been prevented if someone simply paid more attention or did something they were neglecting to do. In cases such as these, victims who have suffered a brain injury could receive compensation for various costs resulting from the injury.

Some common causes of brain injuries include:

• Car crashes. Car accidents involve high-impact stress on the body. When such high impact is applied to the head, it can have devastating effects on the brain.
• Sporting accidents. In high contact sports such as football, basketball, soccer, hockey, and others it is not uncommon for players to run into each other, sometimes making contact with their heads. Such an impact can jolt the brain and cause serious damage.
• Slipping and falling. While a fall can sometimes be harmless, there are other times when a fall can have devastating effects. This is especially true when someone falls and hits their head.
• Assault and violence. Fights can lead to situations where someone is hit on the head, jolting the brain. If a fight is serious enough, it can also lead to gun violence or other forms of violence in which an outside object penetrates the head and damages the brain. Such injuries can be extremely serious and even lethal.

Premises Liability

In some cases, when a person is involved in a fall or when they have a brain injury, it may be due to the setting they are in. Dangerous conditions on someone’s property can be a reason why someone falls or why they are hit by an object. In some cases, the property owner may be held responsible for the conditions that caused a brain injury. This means they would be responsible for compensating the injured person.

Compensation for Brain Injuries

If you have suffered a brain injury, you may be wondering what kind of compensation you could receive. While that depends upon your particular set of circumstances and the specifics of your injury, there are some common things that you could receive compensation for, including:

• Hospital bills. Sometimes, a brain injury is caused by a traumatic event that requires the services of emergency transportation and/or an emergency room visit and treatment. These expenses can be quite high, for which you could receive compensation.
• Ongoing medical bills. Serious injuries sometimes require a series of follow-up visits with your doctor and/or other medical specialists.
• Lost wages. Brain injuries can require you to take an extensive amount of time off work, resulting in a significant amount of lost wages.
• Loss of your job. In extreme cases, a brain injury may disable you from performing certain functions at work that you were once able to do. Sometimes, this can cause you to lose your job entirely.
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs. There are various forms of rehabilitation and therapy that may be needed after suffering a brain injury, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, trauma counseling, and more.

FAQs

What Is the Average Brain Injury Settlement in California?

There is no real average settlement for brain injuries in California because each case is unique. Each injury has a different cause and is therefore treated differently and will heal differently as well. Some factors that may impact the amount of a brain injury settlement include the severity of the injury, other physical disabilities that result from the brain injury, loss of a job or wages, the medical costs associated with your injury, rehabilitation costs, and more.
