Brain Injury Attorney

A brain injury can be life-changing for the accident victim, affecting their ability to walk, talk, and work, and can even affect cognition, behavior, and personality. If you or someone you love was involved in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another and sustained a brain injury, taking legal action quickly can increase your chances of recovering compensation for past and future medical treatment costs, lost wages, and more. At Avaness Law, our brain injury attorneys have extensive experience handling complex brain injury claims and will help you fight for the fair settlement or award you deserve for an accident that was caused by the negligence of another.

How Can a Brain Injury Lawyer Help Me with My Claim?

After sustaining a brain injury, accident victims are often faced with long and painful recoveries. In some cases, they may require in-home round-the-clock treatment. These injuries can have a major impact on the accident victim’s life, preventing them from ever returning to work and requiring ongoing medical treatment for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, the cost of medical treatment can be astronomical, depending on the severity and extent of the injury and how much the accident victim relies on others to complete daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and even ambulating.

When you hire a brain injury lawyer at Avaness Law, they will consult with neurologists and other medical experts to learn more about your injuries or the injuries a loved one sustained, to determine the cost of treatment now and in the future. If the injuries prevent you or your loved one from ever returning to work or a career change is needed, your attorney will also determine the cost of future lost wages or loss of earning capacity. A brain injury lawyer’s goal is to ensure you recover the compensation that will make you financially whole, while allowing you or a loved one to continue to receive vital medical care now and in the future.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Brain Injuries?

A brain injury can occur for many reasons. Most commonly, brain injuries are caused by:

Auto Accidents

During a serious collision, the force of the impact on the body can cause a brain injury. If a motorist sustains a brain injury from a car accident, they can pursue a claim against the negligent driver.

Truck Accidents

Semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. When a passenger vehicle is involved in a collision with a big rig, the results can be devastating.

Slip and Fall Accidents

When an individual slips and falls and hits their head on an object or the ground, it can result in a severe brain injury. If dangerous or hazardous conditions caused the accident, the owner of the property can be held liable.

Motorcycle Accident

Motorcyclists have very little protection from the road and vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds. Even if the rider is wearing a helmet, they are still at a high risk of sustaining a life-changing brain injury when they’re involved in an accident with a passenger vehicle.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, they can sustain catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists are also at risk of being involved in a serious accident when they’re forced to share the road with negligent, reckless, or careless drivers. Like pedestrians and motorcyclists, bicyclists have very little protection from passenger vehicles that can weigh around 3,000 pounds. When a cyclist is struck by a motorist, the results can be catastrophic or fatal.
