The impact TBI can have on a person and their family can be devastating. The consequences of a brain injury can affect one’s personality and mental abilities, and no two brain injuries are alike. Brain injury cases caused by someone’s negligence, or by medical malpractice, can lead to highly complex and time-consuming legal proceedings. These lawsuits require skilled legal help that only the most seasoned personal injury attorney can provide.
Brain injury can happen in an instant, and range from a mild concussion to severe TBI. The neurological and imaging tests required to effectively diagnose the severity of the injury are often expensive. A person suffering a brain injury likely faces continuing medical treatments, rehabilitation, disability, emotional trauma, and more.
If an injury has left a family member incapacitated or in need of long-term care, contact us today. The experienced personal injury attorneys at TK Law will do all we can to ensure that you and your family receive the maximum possible damages allowed by law.
What Are the Causes of Brain Injury?

Falls account for 35.2% of TBI and auto accident injury is the leading cause of TBI-related death.
Other common causes of traumatic brain injury include construction site accidents, heavy equipment accidents, bicycle accidents, sports injuries, and explosive blasts and other combat injuries experienced by active duty military personnel.
